July 2022
Summer is here and the heat also! We are finally getting some rain and our pastures are looking good!
We are in the process of converting 45 acres of crawfish pond into permanent pastures. Ryan Duhon did a great job with leveling the levees. We are planting a Sorghum Sudangrass mix on this acreage for late summer grazing.
Our Red Angus/Beefmaster herd is doing well with the forage and their calves are growing very well.
We are in the last few days of breeding season, so we will be pulling the herd bulls out so we will have a 60 calving season in the spring.
We are also in the process of building a 60x80 building to cover our working pens so weather does not affect us when working cattle.
Our farm store is hopping with all the vegetables that are in season, be sure to come by and get some of the freshest tomatoes, cucumbers, egg plants, bell peppers, onions, potatoes and cantaloupes!
All the best,
Shannon Gonsoulin, DVM
