Farm - view from the house The
herd, purebred Polled Herefords, is located on the Olympic
Peninsula in Washington, about 40 miles northwest of Seattle.
The
herd is centered on animals that are easy keepers, good mothers, and quiet
dispositions. The cattle support themselves on pasture and hay, and receive
only small amounts of grain as calves to ease them through weaning. Steers
and heifers finish on grass or hay, no grain. Cows begin calving at
two years of age and wean their calves on hay and pasture diet. Currently,
weaning weights are in the 550-650 pound range. Some of the bull
calves have weaned off much heavier. Occasionally
there is an exceptional heifer or two, or a locker beef for sale. If
you are looking for a quality animal that will grow on grass, please feel
free to inquire about what cattle are available.
