Hobby Farm for Sale

Locust Grove Farm is just eight acres carved out of our family farm, purchased by my parents back in 1955. They gifted each of their children a building lot on the farm so happily we all live her together on one of the most beautiful properties you will find anywhere.

For the last 16 years I've been renting 72 acres of that farm from my parents for my cattle's pasture. My house is surrounded by those rented acres.  My father died in April 2013 and now my mother lives alone.  Since my husband left in 2009, I've also lived alone.  This summer my mother fell and broke her hip. She is doing well, but it just makes sense that we combine households, so my house and its barns and 8 acres is now for sale.  Check it out at www.oldhouses.com.

Getting the farm ready for winter.

The yearling bulls sold and are now breeding cows on a farm near Maysville, KY. Now it is time to decide which females to sell and to wean the spring calves.  Here is a video of the herd including Bobby the Angus bull walking through a gate into the woods next to the house.

They all lock great after a nice cool summer on lush pastures.  Even Violet, who was suffering from ergot poisoning is doing much better and walking along just fine. The oldest cow, Buttercup, looks very well as does Valentine, the first Limousin born on the farm and the mother of some very wonderful bulls and heifers. She is 14. Her twin heifers from 2013 are coming along very well though they are still not as big as the rest of the 2013 heifers.  At the end you will meet April.  April is visiting from a neighbor's farm.  She was a bottle baby and is still not totally convinced that she is a cow.

Bulls for Sale

It's that time of year when the yearling bulls need to find herds of their own.

Lady's Man

I have two nice young bulls for sale this year. Lady's Man is a March 2013 Angus/Limousin cross.  His father is our BTAP Thor and his dam a registered Black Angus cow. He is fairly calm and easy going for a yearling bull.

Lady's Man has bred some heifers so he knows his business.  His scrotal size is impressive and he should produce small calves that grow quickly. His Limousin father gave him nice thickness and his Angus mother gave him a nice top and deep rib. I'm asking $1800 for Lady's Man.

BTAP Caesar getting a little sweet feed as a treat.

                                                                             BTAP Caesar was born July 1, 2013 so he is just a year old. Somehow I missed worming him this spring so he's a little ragged in this picture but since then he's been wormed and is coming along nicely.  Caesar is a registered Limousin bull out of GMEG Jealousy by BTAP Thor. We've had a wonderful crop of calves by Thor in 2013 and have been very impressed with all of them. Caesar, because of his late birthday (mom calved back again on April 23, good cow!) he wasn't handled so he is not coming up to fence to be fed old broccoli plants like Lady's Man. He's long and thick and should produce small to medium sized calves. I'm asking $1800  for BTAP Caesar. Leave a comment if your are interested. We are in southwest Ohio between Cincinnati and Dayton.
