SPRINGTIME???


It seems Mother Nature can't make up her mind; one day it is hot, the next day it is cold.  Grass tries to grow, but not as fast as the cows want to eat it.  Maybe next week.

As usual the cattle are ready for Spring and the new lush green grass  that comes with wet and warmer weather.  Baby beefalo start eating forage just days after birth and we have several calves already on the ground with more on the way.  It's also that time of the year when farmers often purchase new stock for the upcoming season.  We have a variety of classes availableat this time:  yearling heifers, bred and open older heifers, and some with calves by their side.  We have older cows as well if that is someone's preference.

In addition we have a two year old scurred, black purebred bull and a one year old scurred, buffalo colored, purebred bull for sale.  Both of these animals are halter broken to lead.  As we have mentioned before the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to get into beefalo is to use a purebred or fullblood bull;  all of their offspring will qualify to be beefalo.

If any of our readerss are students at MSU, or have children at MSU you are probably aware the the Aguculture Dept. (Darr Agricultural  Center) recently received a donlation of a farm, and a small herd of beefalo, from Dr. Norman Shealy.  These are the beefalo we sold to Dr. Shealy in 2011.  We congratulate and commend Dr. Shealy on his generous gift. You can read more at Ozarks First dot com.

That is about the extent of our information for this posting.  Until the next time everyone take care.
