New Pork Options. . .

We have recently learned Lorentz Processing of Cannon Falls, Minnesota will no longer be in the custom hog processing business. We have decided to go with another local favorite just south of the farm:

They are a local business located just East of Northfield and provide an excellent variety of sausagess and cuts along with the option of processing pigs for hog roasts. Please feel free to contact them with any questions and I also have a cut-sheet I can e-mail out upon request.

At the moment with will continue to work with Lorentz's for our custom beef needs.

Updates...

We are approaching half done with the 2010 corn harvest. The soybeans yielded like crazy with one variety going 66 bu!! We started breeding for Feb. litters with the sow herd and are about ready to wean calves except for the fact its too nice to see them out with the cows on cornstalks getting fat and not putting a lot in them. The Fall cow herd is coming in a little slower than expected with three of the five and one that's not in is the only first calf heifer of the bunch.

I still have calves for sale as well as a nice set of bred heifers I will be getting some photo's of once they are out on stalks. We will also be making the trip to the State Fairgrounds and the Mn Beef Expo where T is showing her Shadybrook Scotty heifer and a home raised steer out of the 707T bull.
