FALL ACTIVITIES

Mid September and we are getting ready for the Ozark Fall Farmfest October 5-7.  We will have more information on the Farmfest in our next posting.

 

Right now we are enjoying the recent rains and cooler weather as we prepare to sell some of our Spring calves.  We still have our young bull Yellow Jacket, whom we have pictured before, available for sale.  He is 19 months old now and definitely ready for the Fall breeding season.  The quickest, easiest, and cheapest way way for producers to get into Beefalo, if they already have cattle, is to purchase a purebred or fullblood Beefalo bull.  All of his calves will be more than 17% bison and will be Beefalo.  In addition to Yellow Jacket we also have a number of heifers we would sell; some are senior yearlings as well as just weaned Spring heifers.

 

We will have more information in the next two weeks about the Fall Farmfest.  Until then take care.

Simmered Smoked Beefalo Tongue

1 smoked beefalo tongue, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds
1 onion, sliced
1 celery stalk
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp. black peppercorns

Put tongue in kettle and cover with water. Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Cover and simmer 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until tongue is tender. Remove tongue, pull off skin, trim and remove bones. Chill in the broth (can be done to the point the day before); cut into thin slices.
