Cow/Calf Update

Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Nov 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 floods...
