Vistamont Farms is gearing up for a very busy fall. We recently weaned this spring's calves and boy was it noisy! I think the chorus of cows could be heard miles away. Weaning consists of separating mama cows from their babies, which means that there is a lot of bawling back and forth for about three days as the pairs try and figure out what is going on. The little ones have settled into being on their own now and are even venturing out into the pasture to eat grass.
We are also watching the corn to make sure that we get it harvested at just the right time. I never knew the stalks had to go brown before it was dry enough to cut. It was such a vibrant green throughout the summer that it's disappointing to see it begin to wilt, and go figure, it is getting right where we want it.
Fall also means football, and we are taking beef orders for the football season, so check out our website for a list of products. You can either fill out the form on the contact us page, or send an email to harry@vistamontfarms.com! If you are interested in taking a tour of the farm, please call 724-884-5387.
