Arriving Daily!

We are having an explosion of beefalo calves at the Ussery Beefalo farm! We've had 15 so far this calving season with 12 calves in just the last 8 days. We are pretty evenly divided with 7 heifers and 8 bull calves. So far, all the mommies and babies are doing well.

Beefalo has More Calcium

Annual Meeting Update

The American Beefalo Association Annual Meeting was held Saturday, January the 16th at Ryans Family Steak House in Jefferson City, Missouri. The Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas Beefalo Associations joined together to form a new organization to be called Mid-America Beefalo Association. The organization remains under the umbrella of the Amarican Beefalo Association. The president of the new organization is John Fowler of Lament, Missouri. The Vice President is Larry Hacker of Lincoln, Arkansas. The Secretary is Marty Greer. The directors are David McCoy and Vernon Zelch.

Mid- America Beefalo Association will continue involvement in the National Beefalo Show and Fall Farm Fest at the Ozark Empire Fair Grounds in Springfield, Missouri.

The meeting concluded with an auction by Vernon Zelch and Lee Horstman.

I believe the new organization will be an asset to promoting Beefalo in this region.
