| Darlin and her calf |
That’s the name of our beef farm. We are working on getting our website up and running soon. Until then…here’s a little introduction to our farm:
We are a family oriented Hereford farm located in the rolling hills of northwestern New Jersey’s Sussex County. The family consists of Andy, his wife Sheri and their four kids all of which (with the possible exception of mom) are itching for the 2011 show season to start.
We’re pleased that after clipping and fitting for us since Keystone in 2009 Josh joined us full-time as Farm Manager in November 2010. Together we’re working to produce Hereford cattle that will work and show.
For 2011 we expect calves out of 20 registered Hereford cows and 8 recipients. Look for us at 10 or so regional cattle shows this year starting with the Big East in May.
As for recent acquisitions we’re real excited about BOYD PAULA 0058, a February ’10 Bailout heifer we purchased from the Boyds at their 2010 Breeder’s Cup Sale and about the potential of the seven cows we recently bought from the Passwaters in Delaware including STC LOADED LADY 31, HAWK WRB KO CLARABELLE 0606, and JJD VICTORIA 6007 ET (a flushmate to JJD MR GOLD). Last but not least we we’re excited about the new young herd sire, HCC ADVANTAGE X24 that we bought half interest and full possession of from Hausher Cattle Co. last year at KILE. Advantage went on to win his class at the 2011 NWSS and impress more than a few in the barn in Denver. Look for him on the show road in 2011 and in our ad in the 2100 Hereford AI Book.
To keep it all real we finish and sell for freezer beef about 12 feeder cattle per year along with a like number of hogs. If you’re interested in our natural meats raised without hormones and sub-therapeutic antibiotics, please send the marketing department (Sheri) an email at GrassPondFarm@nac.net and we’ll put you on our customer email list.
We hope to have our website up and running very soon at www.GrassPondFarm.com. In the meantime you can contact us at GrassPondFarm@nac.net
