Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Wednesday November 18, 2009   -   By ShanenEbersole

What breed is best for finishing on grass?  Well, there is tons of debate, and no "right" answer. We raise Maine-Anjou and (Black) Angus cattle.  First a little about our Maine cows.  They are a dual purpose breed of cattle that...

The Senator

Blog: Sweet Harmony Farm   -   Monday November 02, 2009   -   By Mona

Another thing about autumn is the coyotes.  In the evenings and throughout the night you can hear them howling.   Lately it sounds like it’s coming from the woods down the street, but many times it is the woods across the street from us in the...

Hay

Blog: Kiss My Grass Farm   -   Saturday September 26, 2009   -   By Dot and Brian

After what seems to us a very long time, we have Red Wattle pork available for sale by the pound.  We are really excited. In fact I put a ham in the slowcooker as my husband was bringing in the frozen meat from the processor. Red Wattle pork isn't...

Moving Cows

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Wednesday September 23, 2009   -   By ShanenEbersole

We moved cows the other day.  I thought that I would share some of the beautiful views.  This is one of my most favorite views on the earth.  Cows out front moving together to new fresh grass. Beau is on a Quarter Horse we raised...

Boys will be Boys

Blog: Sweet Harmony Farm   -   Tuesday September 22, 2009   -   By Mona

We’re having such a great time with the alpacas.  They do have their individual personalities and over the past month, we’ve begun to decipher them.  As I’ve mentioned , Julio is the self-appointed guard and leader.  When he heads out into the...

Blog: Sweet Harmony Farm   -   Monday September 14, 2009   -   By Mona

In a previous post , I had mentioned how our alpacas had easily adapted to their new home here on our farm, and that because they’ve been so calm, we’re kinda irked that they haven’t done something .  Well, now they have! They were all hanging...

What we've learned so far

Blog: Sweet Harmony Farm   -   Thursday August 27, 2009   -   By Mona

Our first week of raising alpacas has been basically, blessedly uneventful.   They’re such quiet and peaceful animals.   Not that we were expecting them to be constantly animated, but after a few hours we were saying ‘hey guys do something! ’ ...

Oh Stella ............

Blog: Sweet Harmony Farm   -   Monday August 24, 2009   -   By Mona

Our dog is just wonderful and we’ve done an excellent job at spoiling her.   She just loves the attention and is happy all the time.   But now that the alpacas have arrived, suddenly she is sullen, clearly jealous, and not too thrilled with us!!...

Last minute preparations ..............

Our alpacas will start coming home to our farm soon, and now is when we realize that oops!   There is so much more to do.   But like any farm, or business, there is always ‘more to do’ or ‘something that needs getting done.’    All farms...

So every once in a while we have to go out into the main pasture and clean up a little bit.  Fences sometimes need to be tightened, and sometimes we have to remove undesirable plants to keep the pasture healthy and useful.  Aside from finding...
