Parting is sweet sorrow…

…whenever it comes time to ship our animals.  Wooz is always an unwilling partner in that part of our business.  Here Michael Jones of Deerfield, Ohio reviews the seven animals waiting shipment to his Tierra Verde Farms.

They’re at the vets, getting their travel papers.  Mike selected a veteran bred cow with a heifer calf at her side, three young heifers and two steers.  He tells us his grass fed beef business has outpaced his current supply so he needs both more females and some “ready” steers.

Wooz insists on violating a cardinal rule of the cattle business: never name your animals.  With anywhere from 60 to 80 critters on our rolls at any one time, finding names is quite a challenge.
