Winter Time News

It is winter, but it hasn’t been bad so far, at least not in our area.  We feel really blessed as the ice storm went north and south of us.  We had a glaze on the grass, but nothing on the dirt roads at all.  The temperature hasn’t been bad either.  We did have some sub freezing temps, but only for about three days.  Even we Ozarkers can handle that.

In the past we  have been listing bred heifers for sale and at the end of November we sold ten of those heifers to Wedermeyer Farms in Nebraska.  Unbeknownst to me or Wedermeyer Farms all bred animals shipped into Nebraska must be bred at least 120 days.  Preg checking showed we had a few bred 80-100 days, so we have eight heifers still available for sale. 

In addition to the bred heifers we have 20 yearling to yearling plus open animals we would sell.  Also for sale, we have a purebred,  blonde colored bull ready for service.  He is 37.09% bison and a son of LNH Rondo who has been pictured on this site in the past.

Looking forward to Spring and new calves.  Everyone take care.

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.
