On Saturday 19 September we discovered 9 more mouths to feed.  The sow produced 11 piglets, 9 of which lived.  The piglets are doing well, and later this week I will go into the pen and sex them.  Hopefully there is a good mix of gilts (female)...

Last Calf Has Arrived

Blog: Bluewater Bay Bucking Bulls   -   Friday July 17, 2009   -   By Cowmomma

Whew!  We just had the last calf of the season arrive on Saturday.  We had eight this year and that is a big jump from two.  That bumps our herd to twenty-three head of cattle.  We had three bulls and five heifers.  All are healthy and...

We have 3 new Belted Galloway calves since my last post. A bull calf and 2 heifers. My "friend" calls them cookie cows because they are black on both ends and white in the middle. So in honor of him we named the bull calf Billy. The kids are having fun with...

Craving Calves

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Friday November 28, 2008   -   By ShanenEbersole

Well, life on the ranch has started to settle down again.  The pairs are still locked in the pens, but there are fewer every day.  We have begun to pair out the fall calvers to the pasture again.  You see, because of the heavy rains and...

The hilltop home

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Monday November 17, 2008   -   By ShanenEbersole

Well, Yesterday sure was a long day!! But we moved 'em!  The cows all circled the Jeep well and then followed me over one hill.  Beau and Branden were on horses and helped move the stragglers along.  They followed me down the hill and chased me...
