Ebersole Cattle Company

Well, spring has sprung on the ranch.  That means cows mooing in the pasture to new calves, babies everywhere, and new grass. 

We have had some grass start to grow, and are looking forward to new entirely green pastures in about 2 weeks.  The AI season has begun and we are planning to breed several hundred head of cows for other cattlemen in the next couple of weeks.

I am enjoying my time away from 20 buckets of feed for the calves.  All of the Corn-fed calves are now on self feeders, and thus we only have to fill them about once a week.  The replacement heifers will be on grass soon and we won't have to feed them as much either.

We have sold all of the calves except those we will make into beef, so speak up soon if you would like to try some of our great beef!

If you would like to stop by the Ranch and see the baby calves, call and I will set up a time.

Now that the Spring Calves have been sold, it is time to concentrate on the Fall Calves.  Beef that is.  We are now starting to sell Fall Shares.  This beef will be harvested in September.  We have a total of 8 calves that we are keeping for beef this fall.

It is imperative that you reserve your beef in advance.  This is especially important if you would like GRASS-FED beef.  The Grass calves will be turned out to pasture in a week, and the rest will be fed corn.

I really like the way these fall calves are looking, and will have some pictures for you soon.

Sorry I don't have much time to post right now, as we are in the middle of calving season.  We have about 30 calves on the ground, with more coming every day.

Well, we are in the thick of it!  Calving Time.   So far, we have about 20 calves alive and healthy. 

As you can see, we have been doing everything we can to get them warm and dry.  Including letting them inside our house, well the laundry room.

This little gal was born last night in single digit weather and was very cold.  You can see how new he is by his still red umbilical cord.

We have had 6 "houseguests" in the past 3 days of rainy cold weather.  All of our previous houseguests are doing great and are back outside with their mothers.

I have been exited by all of our calves, because they are soo food.  We think that this year's crop will be some of our best beef yet!

We have sold out of beef to be harvested in June.  We are starting to reserve calves for September Harvest.  Take a look at our store, or drop us an e-mail.
