Fall 2016

We started the Fall season by taking four young heifers to the Ozark Fall FarmFest.  As usual there many animals on display this year including a total of twelve Beefalo. Circle Z and Fowler Beefalo were also displaying Beefalo.  We visited with a number of people who had an interest in Beefalo, both from a consumer and a  producers point of view. It is always gratifying to hear folks say how they enjoy the meat from Beefalo, but mystifying  that producers who understand the benefits of raising Beefalo are still reluctant to trying it. Education, that is a mission for us.  Better promotion too.

On the farm today we have 140 animals, everything included. We have a small group of steers we are planning to sell as well as a few open cows.  In addition, for anyone wanting to start with Beefalo or to increase the size of their herd, we have twenty heifers that have been exposed to a bull since the end of May.

Holidays are just ahead and we wish everyone all the best. Take care.

Summer 2016 has been Good!

Late again!  I’ve been meaning to get out another post for at least two months, but just kept procrastinating.

For those of us in Wright County 2016 has been a good summer.  Grass has stayed green all summer and the ponds are full.  The cows have benefitted greatly as they are looking slick and their calves have grown well. We sold some steers last week and they weighed out well for their age;  I’m very thankful for the weather we have had.


I have received a couple calls recently enquiring about heifers, bred or first calf.  We have several first calf heifers, with lively babies, that could be for sale.  In addition we have twenty one that have been exposed to a bull since early June.  If anyone is interested in these animals, or even younger heifers, give us a call at 417-569-3838 or email at usseerye@outlook.com
