We started the Fall season by taking four young heifers to the Ozark Fall FarmFest. As usual there many animals on display this year including a total of twelve Beefalo. Circle Z and Fowler Beefalo were also displaying Beefalo. We visited with a number of people who had an interest in Beefalo, both from a consumer and a producers point of view. It is always gratifying to hear folks say how they enjoy the meat from Beefalo, but mystifying that producers who understand the benefits of raising Beefalo are still reluctant to trying it. Education, that is a mission for us. Better promotion too.
On the farm today we have 140 animals, everything included. We have a small group of steers we are planning to sell as well as a few open cows. In addition, for anyone wanting to start with Beefalo or to increase the size of their herd, we have twenty heifers that have been exposed to a bull since the end of May.
Holidays are just ahead and we wish everyone all the best. Take care.
