Happy 4th of July everyone! We wanted to let y’all know that we are now taking deposits for our upcoming feed out season. We have new options to offer our customers this year. Even though it has been dry, we still have fat, healthy cows with large calves on their sides grazing pasture. It is weaning time and we’re exited to be weaning the calves off the bull in the picture below and they are just as gentle as they come. Call or text Barry 334 268 2926.

“Know what you’re buying. This picture has store beef(left), and farm beef(right). There is an obvious visible difference between the two but the differences don’t stop there!

1. You may notice the color difference in the picture. The store bought is pumped full of additives and preservatives, including propyl gallate, to protect against spoilage due to long term air exposure.

2. There isn’t a guarantee of where that beef came from, OR how many cows are in it.

Yes, it may have the USDA label on it but as long as that animal was packaged in the US, it can be called a Product of the USA.

And yes, the meat in the left package is not from one single cow, rather scraps from multiple cows. It may have come from Argentina, Canada, or Brazil.

3. The beef on the right is fresher, darker and is farm raised beef. It is filled with more nutrients & flavor. The ground is also from one cow and not just low quality scraps from multiple cows.

Buy from a local ranch/farm!

A good indication of total carcass muscle is the ribeye. Generally, an average beef steer has approximately 1.1 square inches of ribeye area per 100 pounds live weight.

New addition to the farm this morning being turned in with the yearling hiefers!

This is very good information if you have cattle.

For every degree below the lower critical temperature (LCT), a cow’s energy requirement, or TDN, increases by 1%. That’s assuming the cow is in a BCS 5 or greater. A cow in a BCS 5 needs 30% more energy to maintain body condition than a cow in a BCS 6 at 32 degrees F.

We just recently got in a load of cotton seed hulls. Cotton seed hulls are an important ingredient in our finishing feed that's made right here on the farm! We are set up to purchase feed ingredients in the off peak season to try and keep prices as low as possible! We have a very nice group of steers this year with most orders booked there are a couple slots left! Let us know if you might be interested in a steer. We also offer certain other services envoloving high quality beef genetics.

Calving season started today for us! 2 heifers had calves. One mama already had hers dried off and nursing. The other was literally in labor. Laying down and standing up. Somehow we timed it just right and saw the 1st time hiefer give birth. She was laying down and stood up to finish the job. I had my little helper with me and the look on his face was amazing lol! So glad for my youngest to get to see this.
