The Harris family of White Oak Pastures has raised cattle on the same Early County, GA farm for five generations. Stewardship of the land and respect for our livestock are among the most important lessons that are passed from parent to child in our family.

Today at White Oak Pastures, our cattle are raised in a manner that has stood the test of time. It begins with southern sunshine, unpolluted country air and fertile coastal soil. The practices of our predecessors are the template for our productions system today. We produce beef the way that it is meant to be. Our cattle are allowed to roam our pastures and graze freely on sweet native grasses all of their lives. White Oak Pastures believes in the humane treatment of animals. That is why we do not give them hormones, antibiotics or non-natural feedstuffs to speed their growth. We proactively support nature’s food chain: sun & soil, to plants, to animals and then to people. Raising cattle this way is not the cheapest way to produce beef. It is however, the right way.

The Harris family is building a slaughter-processing plant, which they plant to have opened by April of 2008.

Kalman Floor Company

Kalman Floor Company, since 1916 has been a national contractor specializing in the installations of trouble-free industrial concrete floor systems. Kalman’s expertise in materials science and floor installation can provide you with many benefits.

The Kalman Seamless Concrete floor system can eliminate approximately 80% of the joints normally required in conventional concrete floors. This results in a flatter floor due to less slab shrinkage and curling which results in improved facility function and productivity. Armoring with steel bars the few remaining floor joints exposed to traffic eliminates joint breakdown and minimizes floor and forklift repair expenses.

Kalman Absorption Process Concrete floor topping is a ¾” thick, deferred dewatered concrete topping placed over a previously hardened base slab. AP Topping is a heavy-duty finish for use in high abrasion environments like forklift truck docks. For intermediate-duty applications, our Monorock monolithic, stone-densified finish is an excellent choice. Both of these finishes, often combined within the same facility, are smooth, non-dusting and area easily cleaned. They do not require sealers or hardeners and provide long-lasting value for the owner.

Kalman can provide the best solution for your industrial concrete flooring needs. For more information, please contact Don Ytterberg, Executive Vice President at 303.674.2290.
