We have recently changed our beef program around & are going back to a small cow/calf operation with our Hereford cattle. The herefords are known for their grazing ability, tender flavorful beef & even temperaments. We have some wonderful cows in our herd.

We will be selling the calves as feeders at about 7 months old. Currently we have just artificially inseminated the cows & therefore don’t need to have a bull on premises. Hopefully most of them got bred, but we won’t know that for a little bit. 

We have been raising beef since we went out of the dairy business in 1986. We began with a cow/calf operation then after several years began “finishing” them & marketing them for retail. We are now switching back to the cow/calf program to help simplify our lives a bit!

We pride ourselves on the fact that we grow happy, healthy beef animals in a very humane environment. We do offer our Hathaway Farm beef burgers for sale in the Snack Shack if you’d like to try them. Delish!!

Flossie is now 10 years old, the cow we have in our Livestock Barn. She was born a twin & her mom would only take care of her sister & not her. This is not uncommon in the cow world & we don’t hold it against the cow. Because of this however, we had to bottle raise Flossie & she was in our Livestock Barn as a small calf & met all our visitors so she is very comfortable with this atmosphere now. She is actually due to calve this fall & we are really hoping for a heifer calf so we can make her as friendly as her mom & use her with the public in the Livestock Barn too! Cross your fingers…..
