It was a great evening for our pasture walk with WVU Jefferson County Extension Service and WVU Berkeley County Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources. We enjoy opportunities to share about our Dexters, and of course, sharing our Dexter beef with others! 🐄

Thank you Heritage View Acres for hosting a Pasture Walk on their farm last night. We learned how to measure forage density and demo’ed different rotational gracing equipment.

Not only did our hosts open their farm for this program, they made all attendees dinner! 🍔

We took a road trip today to pick up a “boyfriend” for the girls! Trying to breed via artificial insemination the last 2 years just hasn’t been as successful as we had hoped, so it was time to try a bull! Our new herd sire is GN Jupiter. Isn’t he a handsome boy? Here’s to hoping we have 4 calves being born next year!

Happy Friday!! We’re still here!

Snapped a picture of the girls this morning enjoying their morning treat of silage. This is a mixture of fermented oats, barley, and alfalfa. It’s really good for their rumen and is higher in energy than regular dry hay. So, this will help them maintain their body condition as we enter into winter.

Come get dinner at the Henry Arena this Saturday and watch some barrel racing!

Our handsome boy went to his new home yesterday. He’s not that far away, so I can always go visit. Looking forward to seeing his future babies!

Half-beef shares are now available from our Dexter steers! We’ll have 2 halves available for our Aug/Sept butchering. 100% grass fed and grass finished beef. With Dexters being a smaller breed, half-beef shares are perfect for smaller families. Price is $8.00/lb, based on hanging weight. You choose your own cuts. Price includes processing fees, vacuum sealing, and delivery right to your door (local to Martinsburg, WV). $500 deposit required to hold your half, which would be applied to your final total (due before delivery). Please reach out with any questions or to reserve your half.

Some of the girls (and our boy) got some new ear bling. Jolene and Genevieve were not cooperating that day, so we’ll have to re-tag them later. I love the turquoise on them!

If you need any customized gifts or gear with a western flare, be sure to check out The Farmer's Wife Designs - New Page. Tyler does amazing work!
