Saturday as I was raking the last of our first cutting, this "hay tornado" happened. It took a small square bale worth of hay!

Don't forget your canned beef when you visit Circle Q Acres Farm Market!

Did you know that you can put some BBQ sauce with our canned beef to make delicious BBQ beef sandwiches?

Our cows are given fresh grass daily. We often call it "giving them a new break". We work our way across a pasture field giving them little by little. This makes them eat everything, even the less desired grass - this helps with w**d control as well.

In the picture our border collie, Jake is watching the cows. Can you spot him?

Sunrise at Courtright Farms this morning♥️♥️

We were able to bale our first bales of 1st cutting today. Many more acres to go but got a start in-between rains.

Finally had our last calf today of 2024!! We are beyond blessed! We had zero assisted births -thanks to some great genetics. There were some cows that must have aborted their calf since pregnancy checking them, but overall a great calving season! God blessed us with 45 heifers. We love having a large group of heifers as it helps build the herd.

Any guesses on how old the cow is that held out to be the last?? She is the oldest in the herd and one of us girls showed her in 4-H.

Herman getting some love from Lorene.

05/27/2024

Herman is doing well. Gaining everyday. Baby steps, but gaining.

05/26/2024

We love having canned beef from a local family in our pantry.

Make sure you grab some while you're in!

Herman went on a walk around the barn lot this evening!

Know what you’re buying. This picture has store beef(left), and farm beef(right). There is an obvious visible difference between the two! But the differences don’t stop there!

1. You may notice in the picture the color difference. The store bought is pumped full of additives and water. There isn’t a guarantee of where that beef came from either. Yes, it may have USDA label on it but as long as that animal was packaged in the US, it can be called a Product of the USA. The meat in the package is not from one single cow, rather scraps from multiple cows. It could have came from Argentina, Canada, or Brazil.

2. The beef on the right is darker and is farm raised beef. It is filled with more nutrients & flavor. The ground is also from one cow and not just scraps from multiple cows.

3. Buying your beef from a local Farmer/Rancher you are helping to buy a little girl dance shoes or a little boy baseball gear. Buying from the store just lines the pockets of the already wealthy meat packers. Let’s help each other. We help you eat healthy, you help us provide for our families.

Buy from a local ranch/farm!

*This is Not my original post. But definitely great information!!
I copied and shared it adding our farm to the post...
We hope you choose our farm for your beef!!

Even if your not local to us. Please find a farm local to you to help support!!

This little guy RAN and jumped around tonight!!! He had to have assistance, but he did it!!! 23 days old and he RAN!!!

05/19/2024

Just a Herman photo dump tonight.

05/17/2024

Herman is still improving!
The pink vet wrap is keeping dirt out of an opening from an infection he had that is going away.
He got some sun today on this beautiful day we had!
God is good!

05/16/2024

Herman update:
He is doing GREAT! He stood tonight for the longest times without falling or needing help. Sorry no pictures. I was soaking it all in of how far he has came. Tomorrow (Thursday) he will be 3 weeks old. He is the same size as a bull calf that was born 3 days later than him.

05/14/2024

Herman Update
Yesterday he had a chiropractor adjustment. His pelvis is now lined up correctly and is figuring out how it is supposed to feel. Becky thinks he will be out on his own within 10 days. Lorene (the cow) is being such a great girl! She's also ready for Herman to go with the rest of the calves.
Tomorrow evening Herman will receive magna wave.

05/12/2024

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there especially our mother cows that allow us to farm and all of the mothers in the family line that raised us to be farmers.

05/09/2024

We had 6 calves yesterday! That is the most so far this year in one day. 3 of them were first calf heifers. God is blessing us for sure with a great calving season so far! Feels like we barely have any left now that there are 53 on the ground.
30 heifers
23 bulls
21 left to go!!!!

05/09/2024

Herman is still gaining - weight and strength! He got some sunshine on this beautiful sunny day! Today his ears were the most perky I have ever seen them.

05/06/2024

Sunday evening cow check. All calm on the cow front tonight. Sweet dreams everyone. 💤💤

Meet Herman
Herman was born Thursday April 25. Jim noticed he could not use his back legs successfully. So he got the cow (now named Lorene) and the calf into the barn so he could have assistant to nurse, as it is vital he nurses soon after being born. Jim and Becky have been helping him atleast 3 times a day to make sure he has his belly full. He has never lacked an appetite. Today he is doing SO much better! We have worked with his muscles, nutrients, and magna wave. He can stand, but is unsteady at times.
Watch for more updates on our buddy Herman. He and mom are ready to be back with everyone else!

*positive comments only!

🎉Update 5 calves today sexes unknown as it was getting dark lol😂🤣😉
3 calves today
So far we have 18 heifers and 7 bulls.

04/27/2024

Today someone decided sleeping between vehicles was the smart thing to do. Then went on adventure as it got scared and ran across the pasture, across the road thru the neighbors mule pasture their yard towards the state highway and back to mules back across the road circled around the pasture and was last seen headed west. Crazy calf. 🏎️🏎️🏃

04/26/2024

Guess we got our start on this new landscaping design in the young version of it with our flower power calves.

04/26/2024

404 Flower Power finally went back to mom which made her very happy. 419 decided to nap in a different flower bed when I found her while mowing grass. The flower beds now will get a break as the cows have been moved to pasture east of the house away from the irises. 🌺🌸🌷💐

04/25/2024

This is becoming a common thing when I get home. This little heifer(415) decided she was needing to nap in the flower bed this afternoon! Flower Power🌸🌺🌻🌷💐

04/25/2024

Do you spy what Cindy spied???! 404 at it again!! Flowers give him power!

02/10/2024

Pretty much!!

Saturday as I was raking the last of our first cutting, this "hay tornado" happened. It took a small square bale worth of hay!

Herman is doing well. Gaining everyday. Baby steps, but gaining.

Sunday evening cow check. All calm on the cow front tonight. Sweet dreams everyone. 💤💤

Cows are on turnips. They do end up eating the bulbs as can be seen in the video where they have cleaned the field up very well.

Today we brought the cows and calves from rented pasture home. The landlord had a great view to get this video for us! 3.5 hours and 6 loads we got all 43 pairs home. *Jim watched from the sidelines.

Friday night zoomies—bovine style!

How do we tag calves? We tag them in the field just like they are born. Most of the time tagging can be accomplished by 1 person. Some cows require 2 people. We also appreciate being able to slip the calf under the polywire to tag it away from the mother.

The sky cleared enough this morning for us to help out this first calf heifer. She was gaining but was getting tired, so Jim stepped in. Everyone is doing great! We are over half way through calving!

Cows are happy to be out on pasture.

This cow was tired enough from calving she didn't want to stand as long as he wanted to nurse. So Jim assisted him in nursing while they both laid down. Jim has never witnessed this in all his years. *The cow was not in a head gate during this. She was just chilling as he nursed even with us close‐ she was such a doll through it all.

Here's a video of a cow giving birth. Enjoy!

The heifers didn't want to stay in this morning. Becky and Paige got them taken care of. Cindy and Mandy had a talking to themthus afternoon. (In case you can't view the other video, we're trying to figure out this technology 😃)

They have arrived all in great time with their appetites.

Sunday before church moving the cows and calves to new pasture. Just a brisk jaunt down the road to greener pasture.

A glimpse of spring here at the farm!

You have heard the saying “Make hay while the sun shines” Well Jim is taking advantage of the sunny weather to get hay made as the rain has put us way behind this year. 110 acres of first cutting to get done yet. Enjoy the sunshine and stay cool as you can this weekend!!
