"Volatility of the financial markets appears to be encouraging consumers to switch to alternative investment opportunities." -- US News and World Report, May 19, 2008 At Middleground Farm, we are dedicated to breeding and raising quality registered miniature Herefords.
Here in the Finger Lakes region of New York state, we are blessed with a moderate climate, along with excellent soils known not only for producing award winning wines, but some of the finest grazing and crop land in the east. With this, we feel blessed to be stewards of our land, and consider it our obligation and privilege to care for both the land and our cattle using the most environmentally sound practices we can. We follow sound management practices, which include pastures being over seeded twice yearly with grasses and nitrogen-fixing legumes, ensuring nutritious summer feed for our cattle and their calves. We rotate our pastures to maintain clean, healthy pastures, reduce parasites and renew forages throughout the growing season. We do not use any chemical wormers, insecticides or growth-enhancing hormones on our cattle. Our livestock eat as nature intended ruminants to eat; on natural browse and grasses, all natural free choice salt and minerals supplemented with kelp; top quality mixed hay and bright oat straw in the winter months. This, along with fresh clean water and year round accessible shelter, makes the Miniature Hereford virtually trouble free; docile, fat, and productive, delivering a healthy calf every spring for us. We have had an exceptional calving season this spring, and are pleased to be able to offer several nice cows and their calves at this time. We are also offering our herd sire for sale, as we need to bring in new bloodlines for our herd. The registered miniature Hereford will fulfill all of your small livestock investment needs; improving and qualifying your property for farm tax exemption status, equity building with a yearly return on investment in the form of a calf, and will produce a highly sought after product in the form of natural grass finished beef, with minimal equipment and labor. Grass finished beef is known to contain more of the Omega 3 fatty acids and CLA, which makes it the most nutritious choice in the beef market today. Supply cannot meet the demand at present. They also make fantastic show or 4-H cattle. Thanks for visiting, Diane and Tony Alu Members AHA & MHBA
