Assumption Abbey is one of the few monasteries in the United States that still engages in agriculture for part of its income. The operation raises Black Angus beef cattle. Farming is limited to growing hay and other feed for the herd. |
 Br. Jacob Diess takes his turn feeding the cattle.
|

 |
The ranch is a labor intensive-operation, handled by only a few monks.
Br. Placid Gross has been the farm boss since 1971. Brs. Louie and Jacob help out regulary, and Fr. Damian takes a break from teaching each summer to bale hay. |
