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.
