My daughter-in-law, Gena, who posts this blog for me asked some time ago if I didn't think it was time to make another posting; I agreed, but am just now getting the information to her.
We are certainly enjoying the nice Spring weather and eagerly looking forward to the coming of lush green grass. We now have over 20 new calves who should be ready to take off on the new grass.
We sold five cows to Roger and Kathy Cady of Ozark, Mo. last month. They located the cows at Greenfield, Mo. and already have some new additions.
Cattle are still selling quite well at the sale barns and we sold thirteen last week. Also, we delivered one animal to our local processing plant (Forrest Meat Processing) earlier this week. That animal was purchased by John Waddell of Springfield, Mo. For anyone interested in purchasing a beef we have a steer ready for harvest as of this writing. He will probably weigh approximately 950 lbs. In addition we have some younger males ready to turn out on grass and some young heifers we would be willing to sell.
Finally, we have two young virgin bulls we feel would make good herd sires. They are pictured at the end of this posting. We will try to be less tardy in the future.
