Congratulations to Cindi and Steve Duthrie for their new herd of 2 Randall heifers! In May they came and picked up "Maureen" and "Pollyanna", 6 week old heifer calves, and took them to their farm in Norwich, CT. Cindi and Steve already have heirloom pigs and chickens on their farm, the Randall girls will fit right in. They hope to eventually milk the calves as family cows.
D.J. Clary and his son Matt came down from Plainfield, MA this morning to pick up our two new bull calves born earlier this month. They are going to train them as an ox team. The temp was in the low single digits today, so D.J. outfitted the calves with dog coats for the trailer ride home. The boys looked quite dapper in their new gear. We wish them the best, and will be looking forward to seeing their sharp looking team in the coming years.
We've got a pair of month old steers we'd like to sell to be trained as oxen. This pair is pretty well matched and within a couple of days in age. They are being bottle fed and are being lead trained. We're asking $700. for the pair.
