Fall Farmfest


The Ozark Fall Farmfest will get underway October 4th and run through October 6th.  No admission and free parking on the Ozark Empire Fair grounds are a couple of postives.  In addition there will be an abundance of animal and machinery exhibits and an E-Plex filled with all kinds of goodies.
 
We are planning on being a part of the Beefalo contingent which will probably consist of about twelve animals.  We will be taking four and will be joined by Fowler Beefalo of LaMont, and Circle Z of Bourbon, Mo. 
 
Beefalo had a good Show at the State Fair llast mlonth.  Unfortunately we had to cancel at the last moment due to family health issues.  Hopefully and prayerfully those issues are receding and everyone will be in the pink soon.
 
Back to the Farmfest, it is always a good time to visit and even to educate some of our urbanites who are 1-3 generations removed from the farm and are unaware of the value and importance of agriculture and its individual components.  Beefalo, being a hybrid species, raises lots of questions. Do they reproduce? Do you use a Buffalo bull or Buffalo cows? Are they tame?  How do they taste?  We will do our best to answer those questions and provide a pleasant atmosphere for all who come by our area.  We look forward to seeing you October 4-6.
