Calved (born) March 12, 2018, TRASK TUNA is a Mini Hereford and small French Normande cross yielding the potential for a dual purpose small family farm. As you can see she is beefy and at the same time capable of good milk for the family. If she is left alone, she will simply produce high butter fat milk for her calf. Most of our customers love this dual purpose cow. It’s sorta like a tree that bears both apples and pears. And she loves attention, or can you tell?
She is a daughter of a Neal Trask developed bull T-197. He was genetically A2A2 while her mother was a small French Normande (Flashy Tuna 1609.) The Neal Trask line of Hereford cattle are legendary old world Herefords. While the Normande are what French Cheese is all about!
Deep bodied, excellent heart girth, top line is flat as a table, and her bottom line is solidly balanced. Genetically fly resistant, she is grass alone raised, no harmonies, no GMO – just grass, salt, mineral and hay. She is Certified Naturally Grown.
We put docility, feed and input efficiency and nutrient density at the top of the list of useful characteristics. We sell beef and dairy cattle directly to consumers. I must say, there’s no better testimony to quality and taste than repeat customers. Below you will find links to available stock in each of the herds we have been developing here in Texas since 1999.
Miniature Hereford
Our stock is the Old Breed of Hereford. We have a strict selection process for the production of quality cows and bulls. The success of our genetics in the show ring in New Zealand and Australia is unparalleled. We have both Polled (hornless) and horned lines. The beef is magnificent. We are breeding for A2A2. View the offerings.
Mini Red Angus
Our stock is classic Line Bred without up-sizing to the current standard size. Measured at the hip they are 1 – 3 frame score or the “classic” size. They are docile, have heavy butter fat for their babies, easy fleshing on grass alone and no birthing problems. Nutrient dense beef that is A2A2 is what we are after. View the offerings.
Dairy
The breeding stock of our Dairy Cows is to develop a Family Milk Cow that is imaginably small and feminine in stature, with a daily capacity of milk between 1 to 3 gallons cream bearing milk. You will find Registered Mini Jersey and French Normande. A2A2 milk is what we are after – and we have it. View the offerings.
Pet Cows
Pet Cows are for fun and attractive lawn ornaments, and don’t forget to check with your County Taxing authority about Ag Exemption. View the offerings.

Before looking for baby cows for sale, know that there is no single optimum method for raising calves. What works across one farm might not even work on another. However, you should establish & implement a neonatal procedure as well as a calf treatment plan that is constant from the day in & day out. Cattle disease & mortality rates might be significantly reduced with proper management.
Raising healthy calves is impossible due to inadequate facilities & poor animal care. Recognizing this & knowing calf growth, health, nutrition, & behavior will help you care for your calves successfully.
If you are looking for baby cows for sale, opt for Falster Farm today.
The following calf-raising techniques can be used:
To boost calf survival rates
To enhance calf health
To reduce calves’ exposure to illness
To boost growth rates
Calf Growth
Before looking for baby cows for sale, you must first get some ideas about calf growth. Calf-raising success may be measured using both survival & growth rates. Dairy replacement rates of growth eventually influence puberty time. However, this has an impact on the age of initial freshening as well as lactation milk output.
Calves that have been properly reared will be healthy & ready to replenish between the ages of 22 & 24 months.
1-Keeping track of calf development
Before searching for baby cows for sale, know that a disease might reduce a calf’s development rate & cause persistent issues that prevent the youngster from attaining its full genetic potential. Calves that have healed from sickness will most likely be weeks or months behind their healthy herd mates. If their condition was serious or long-term, lasting damage or persistent suffering might cause these animals to become economic hazards.
Breed-specific heifer goal growth curves are offered.
Measure and record the heart circumference and ghast height in inches.
Weigh the calves using a scale or a standard tape measure.
Measure your height using a ruler or an altimeter stick with a parallel level bar.
Determine the following for each baby calf: ADG (Average daily gain), percentage of weight-growth objective & the group’s averages
Graph the number of baby calves with weights that are above or below the ideal for their age. You may use computer software to assist you with this.
Preventing Disease
1-Recognizing & Managing Stressors
Calves can be stressed by changes in routine. When animals are agitated, they are more prone to develop ill. Changes in feed, housing, & crowding can all stress calves & produce stomach problems, including scours.
Other stresses include:
Transporting
Ear tagging
Improper calves handling
Disbudding/Dehorning
2-Biosecurity
Before opting for baby cows for sale, have a biosecurity program in place. All cattle, equipment, & personnel entering your calf facility must be controlled & monitored. In order to develop your illness preventive & treatment program, consult with your local veterinarian.
Calves are being monitored:
Use a rectal temperature gauge on a regular basis to aid in the detection of early fever in ill calves. Calves have a typical body temperature of 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Separate the calves, so they do not come into physical touch with each other. This allows you to monitor calves individually throughout the critical pre-weaning time. Alternatively, if they are group housed before weaning, keep a constant eye on them.
Extra biosecurity precautions for you to take a look at before opting for baby cows for sale:
Evaluate your vaccination program on a regular basis, but don’t rely solely on immunizations to solve illness concerns.
It helps control infection sources, particularly feces. Water, feeding utensils, birds, rats, pets, & humans can all be sources of illness.
Instead of placing the calf in bedding, place it on a clean plastic sheet.
After a heifer is born, use clean towels to massage it dry. Use no bedding or feed sacks. Wipe the mucous from the nose.
Always separate calves as soon as possible from the cow, feces, & urine.
When conducting chores, start with the youngest animals & work your way up.
Isolate ill calves, feed them last, & handle them in the end.
Use distinct maternity enclosures that are sanitized between calvings. Moreover, this includes eliminating prior birth bedding, dung, & other materials. Pathogens are introduced into the maternity pen with each cow.
Stop the spread of Johne’s disease. When calves consume infected excrement or colostrums, they get Johne’s illness. Disease risk might be minimized by properly handling newborn calves.
Between calves, wash, disinfect, & dry specific hutches, stalls, or enclosures. Scratch the ground to a new level of soil and eliminate any remaining organic matter.
Calf feeding practices
Following the birth of a baby calf:
Clean the cow’s mammary glands before the calf nurses, or simply withdraw the calf from the mother and maternity area.
Feed high-quality colostrum to calves as soon as feasible.
Every day, provide new, clean calf colostrum, milk replacer, & water. Make sure to provide water at least twice a day. To prevent urine & manure contamination, place these outside the enclosure. Spilled liquified feed & water will also be kept away from the calf’s bedding.
Ensure that the calves’ food (liquified feed, grass, & grain) is of excellent quality throughout the preweaning stage. According to research, inadequate nutrition between weaning & six months of age might result in these animals having:
A four & half month delay in age upon first calving
Reduced growth rate
Increased chance of being culled as a cow
Housing
Calf housing must be fully isolated from the dairy production house barn, with its own ventilation. To keep flies at bay, keep air inlets and windows covered at all times.
Bedding
Before opting for baby cows for sale, know that calf comfort is greatly influenced by bedding. It is critical to manage bedding throughout the early stages of preweaning. A large, dry bed of puffy material can:
assist calves in staying clean
Lower the chance of illness
Provide a comfortable resting area
Serve as a moisture-absorbing medium
Reducing stress
Conclusion:
Calves have unique care requirements that must be met in order for them to reach adulthood in excellent health & comfort. We hope you will have no additional problems now that you know how to care for a young cow.

Photos above depict results of our foraged based Red Angus cows bred AI to a Red Wagu bull of some renown. Our project is to develop a Cross that meets both the Super Premium market (Wagu) and the Premium market (Certified Angus) for color and beef tenderness. There are serious enhancements made to the Wagu, allowing for a grass-fed and grass-finished beef program.
On 13 SEP 2018 we bred 5 superior Red Angus females (forage based, 4 and 5 Frame Score) to the red Wagu bull Sumo Seisakushu C221 (5 Frame Score.) Three of these AI’s took and we got 1 bull and 2 heifer calves, each born on 20 Jun 2019.
Above is the Wagu Sire, and the collage shows the Dam’s and their get. The birthing process was with no assistance. The cows received no grain supplements what so ever. All 3 calves are identical: vigorous, happy to be together. We like this combination. It appears this breeding has taken a bit of the leg length out of the calf while adding more flesh on the rear.
This is our Wagu x Red Angus Cross — we will do it again.

Grass-Fed vs Grass-Finished
Last week we discussed what a grass-fed animal should look like in the field. This week I would like to share some thoughts with you on the difference between grass-fed and grass-finished. I know that it sounds like they should be the same so please bear with me!
Most animals, even the ones in the confinement facilities start their life on the grass. They are usually born in the field or a barn depending on the time of year and spend the first six to eight months beside their mother. Then they are weaned and for the next couple months until they are a year old they eat grass/hay with usually some supplemental feed thrown in. Of course every farmer has his own system for his own operation, but the above scenario is fairly typical. At this point, the beeves are either sent to a confinement facility or they are kept/sold for raising on a grass-based operation.
A grass-fed animal can still be grain finished, meaning the fat that marbles the meat and the layer of fat on the outside is put there by corn and soy-based products. But it is still marketed as grass-fed, because it has been fed grass for a significant part of its life.
Whereas grass-finished means that the layer of fat and the marbling was put on that animal by grass alone. This is a far more complicated process, and requires not only good grass genetics but the trained eye of a good grazier. It

requires lots of sugar in the grass and forage that the animal is eating, because just like for us it is the carbohydrates that really put the weight on.
So then a steer can be “grass-fed” but if it isn’t finished on grass as well then you are still likely to be getting some carcinogenic compounds in your “grass-fed” meat! Also as almost all corn products are GMO, then it is highly probable that you are getting GMO-tainted meat as well.
Again, every operation is slightly different, and almost all beeves are grass-fed at some time in their life. That is why it is important to know your farmer, and what the practices are that they apply on their farm. This is one reason that we encourage people to come out and get to know us, so they know what they are buying.
Next week, let’s look at the difference between grass-fed and grain-fed (from a confinement facility) and see which one is healthier for you. I think you will be surprised at the differences.

Four Questions to Ask – F.A.Q.
When I wrote our 1st Falster Farm web site in 1999, a feature that got the most hits was F.A.Q. This quickly grew to cover a lot of questions and emails. Eventually, Nancy and I started posting to BEST EMAIL OF THE YEAR. Then Google changed their protocols and I had to change our web site, and eventually the F.A.Q. Blog got dropped.
I believe I’ve been asked about every question about cattle rearing and selling that can be asked, literally from the 4 corners of the earth. While I continue to be amazed at the redundancy of some questions, there are four that are; or, should be on the mind of everyone interested in buying Live-stock:
Many of our customers, especially those off-shore, buy from Falster Farm without ever touring our pastures. They ask, can you send me a photo? Yes, we do send a current photo, even a video; and, the specific vita about that critter, which can include pedigree and photo of the parents and maybe grandparents. When the University of the Philippines started a breeding program to improve their indigenous cattle, Professor emeritus Cilleo Felix spent two days investigating the issue of our herd sires before selecting two of our bulls to put into that program. Frankly, he said, we want cattle that will get fat on grass alone. The cost of the bull goes forward into the history of the herd.
So many neophytes state “I’m just looking for a cheap cow or bull, maybe you have a cull to sell?” Bless your heart, we don’t sell culls except to the sale barn or the packing house. The means of selecting our breeding stock is stringent. Dr. Jan Bonsma of South Africa has studied cattle and their environment and realized that the bigger-is-better movement had caused cattle to genetically digress. Corn and supplements had been introduced as a fattening agent causing taste, texture and quality to plummet to an all-time low. With the introduction of corn and supplements, sustainability was no longer a feasible option in cattle industry. No cow or bull gets a second chance here.
Do your cows work for you, or do you work for your cows?Read More
Are you producing cows with maintenance requirements that are too high to fit any environment – outside of a feedlot.
Are you a rancher feeding more and more expensive hay and supplements. That program will keep you busy, frustrated and broke. I can predict a change in genetics will get your young cows to breed back without feeding any expensive hay or supplements, be genetically resistant to fly’s. Yes grandpa you can do it. You can produce cows that fit your environment – instead of artificially changing the environment to fit yours cows.
To do this, purchase bulls with extremely low maintenance requirements. Pharo Cattle Company has spent the last 30+ years producing ultra-low-maintenance cattle that can increase pounds and profit per acre in every environment they have been placed in. Falster Farm is populated with those “low input” high-profit genetics.

The reason these questions are so important is because (from whomever you buy) you are investing in that seedstock producer’s genetics. Your cowherd will eventually resemble the cowherd that your seedstock producer has.
Are his cows the right body size and body type? Before you buy, you need to know the difference between an easy-fleshing 4-frame cow and a lean, slab-sided 6-frame cow or bull. Most of today’s seedstock producers have 6 and 7-frame cows — “they eat a lot of groceries pard.” Does he make excuses for his cows and give them a second chance? Are his cows required to graze year-round with minimum inputs?
Are you just buying a bull? I asked grandpa this question one day. He said he always bought the most expensive bull he could buy because his calves always bring top dollar. Buying a registered bull that comes comes from a cattle cube supplemented line of breeding will be too expensive in the near and long term. His offspring will require as much supplements – or more.
Although most commercial cow-calf producers say they want efficient 1100 to 1200-pound cows that can wean 50% of their own weight without being pampered, supplemented, inoculated, calves pulled etc. — they continue to buy bulls that were produced by 1400 to 2000-pound cows that must be pampered and supplemented with grain to stay in production. It’s no wonder they are working so hard just to break even.

Following is an abbreviated history of why the Mid Frame Score Red Angus Herd came to be on our place in East Texas. If you will bear with me, (for posterity) I will relate the history of our beautiful cows in our Red Angus Herd – as I lived it:
At a Gerald Fry Bovine Engineering conference in Gainesville, Texas several years ago, I met a dedicated Red Angus breeder, Kevin F. Now, Kevin was and is fixated on line-breeding the Choctaw Chief 373 Red Angus line; sort of the Holy Grail of Red Angus beef cattle. Kevin had heard of my line breeding of miniature Herefords which has become an international success. He had Red Angus genetics with a need of a partnership for the development of his small herd of collected “Chief” genetics. We struck a bargain and he trailer’ed his cows into Wood County Texas.
After his personal inspection of Falster Farm’s herds and environment, and with our growing mutual admiration, he introduced Rick M who had a need to do the same with his small herd of Red Angus as Kevin and I were enjoying. A month or so later, Rick (and a world- class horse breeder lady friend) came to interview Nancy and I; to make a bargain for the management of his herd of 20 Line Bred Red Angus of the PCC HOBO line. This arrangement brought the cows here on a management and pasture lease contract that would give him some breathing room from the result of his divorce decree. It appears the man got the short end and was only able to retain 20 head of that marvelous herd.
GAYLORD TEXAN EXEC CHEFs
Now, on our Falster Farm marketing tract: after a year or so of working from the inside and out, Nancy and I hosted the Executive Chef staff and Executive from the Human Resources Department of the nations largest resort, THE GAYLORD TEXAN, with the idea of creating an Executive Retreat to be built on our Certified Naturally Grown farm and ranch. It was a wonderful visit that included the General Manager and his assistant making a personal review of our mid-size Red Angus herd. Head Executive Chef Juan was elated at what I showed him: the environment, the Red Angus herd, and his ability to walk freely amongst the whole herd and the hearing of our breeding and low stress practice. For the first time in his life, he touched a cow in the field, got up close to see first-hand their depth of caucus merits, the calves, the heifers, the steers, and meet the actual producer. He had been to 44 Farms and on places from coast to coast to find what we are doing here only 100 miles away from his restaurants. On the spot he wanted to get us in their purchasing system (which would take me some 6 months of negotiating the red tape of the Marriott International Purchasing System.)
Providentially, I got a call from Rick explaining he wanted to sell his cows and pursue the equestrian (woman) show world. So, these cows were purchased by me as a small cut out of a herd of 300+ head, bred and born and developed on the Sand Hills of Nebraska. So they know all about snow and tough winter snow-covered grazing (my last duty station was in Lincoln, NB). The photo of PCC KAYCEE HOBO (sire of about ½ the herd) reflects that sand hill environment in the background.
These Red Angus were desirable to me because they were from an organic beef production program, not a commercial feed lot high input cattle; they are a low input registered seed stock, well bred to produce both beef and foundation progeny.
During the tenure of the management phase I grew to have great respect for the sisterhood of this herd, their mutual support of calves, herd security is important to us because over the years we’ve lost about 12,500 in cattle flesh to a long tailed cat. I sincerely their docile nature, their lack of butting each other and selfishness I have experienced most of my life with the beautiful Herefords I enjoy so much.
My granny Morgan used to chide my grandpa with a “there’s proof in the puddin.” Well, the summer of 2018 gave us a drought here resulting in nobody having any more than a smidgen of the number of round bales usually put up each Summer. As Nancy will tell you, I recognized the prospects of that drought in early May.
She arranged for me to attended a grazers conference in Kentucky featuring an old friend (or rival), Joel Saladin. I rented a space ship like car so I could drive up there and canvass the drought edges which were spread over into Louisiana and Mississippi. On the way back out of Tennessee, I started looking to rent fenced land that was empty of livestock. I stopped in with friends from Monroe back to here.
It was in September that by putting flyers in mail boxes I found two properties that were a fit for us (we have to honor our certification as “Certified Naturally Grown“.) One property had been a hay grower but not so in the previous 3 years (Mark), and the other was fallow land for many years. It was a former terraced row crop farm that had mostly rough dry Bahia, some dry Bermuda, Dove Weed, and small trees in it; very rough. (Larry).
Larry’s place was 60 acres poorly fenced and surrounded by other rough and fallow places but had a small spring fed pond on it. Mark’s place was lush Bermuda grass over 10 acres and an artesian-fed pool – gorgeous and hard fenced on all sides.
So I picked out 7 head of short bred Red Angus cows and 3 recip cows with embryos in um and placed them there. Located some 20 miles distant, Mark looked after them.
On Larry’s place, located 1 mile away, I set up a single strand of hot wire down one entire side and across the road frontage. This one strand was never breached. I moved the rest of the Red Angus mama cows, calves, 1st time heifers and weanling age bull calves. For them it must have been like going home – back to the sand hills, it was so bleak. After a day or two roaming the place they settled in and started gnawing that tough standing grass and brush. They didn’t get a tub of boiled molasses till some 2 months later when the weather was in the freezing ranges at night and browsing was more brush than grass, or so it seemed to me.
My intern’s family came to visit from Washington state and I figured we’d give them some Texas fun, so we set up a cattle drive to bring the Red Angus Cows home utilizing her people as road guards and beaters. It was a lot of fun for us all. Of course we trailered the lot from Mark’s Place back home with their calves.
What this Red Angus Herd taught me – I learned from this 2018 experience was that while like in the drought of 2011, my neighbors sold out at a loss: most of them have quit, but not me.
The Red Angus Cows on Larry’s never got a single round bale of hay, they foraged it out supplemented with 5 tubes of molasses, salt, and minerals alone. This was astounding to me and I told my wife and intern this was so. The cattle at Mark’s place had no better condition or calving success than the girls on Larry’s Place. Both lots came home and reunited as if they had never separated, and were their indistinguishable selves.
While we don’t have much snow, it does get wet and cold – occasionally real cold what with the humidity.
I can certainly understand risk management as that’s the very nature of dry land farming and doing it without government strings can make you draw up at times.

Happy New Year 2020
We live in such beauty, it’s a pity we don’t take the time to relax and enjoy it more often. It’s so fun to watch the stars fade away in the morning as the sky turns to gray and then the palest of peach colors spreading to a very light blue. Everything is frozen: the grass leaves, the water hoses, the metal gates, and my fingers. Fortunately, the water in all the deep water troughs is still liquid so I don’t have to break ice with my pitchfork.
The air has that crinkly crisp feel to it, if you know what I mean and is oh so fresh.
The sky is warming to a lovely pale blue, and as the sun rises it paints the dark trees a golden orange, starting at the tips of the trees’ fingers and slowly working its way to the roots. Then the sun touches the fields, and as you marvel at the transformation from darkness into light, it floods the pastures, sweeping over the cows and forming fingers of shadow that point towards the west.
Fog still hovers in the low spots endeavoring to keep the dales and

hollows in its chilly grasp while over the ponds the mist rises joyfully to meet the new day.
The sun seems to take its own sweet time about getting up in the morning doesn’t it, but somehow, as you watch the light wake the world, and listen to the birds welcome the dayspring, you suddenly realize that it’s day, and you barely had time enough to enjoy it all.
What a wonderful way to meet the New Year: with the perfect dawn of a new day! There is such joy and hope in the beginning of things, isn’t there? And when the heat of the day hits us and everything tumbles around our ears, projects don’t go as planned and our hopes get bashed a little bit, remember what Scarlett said, “After all, tomorrow is another day.” I think that as long as God gives us dawn, spring, and new babies, there is always room for hope.
Have a wonderful New Year.

You may be asking why we are selling this fine bunch of Red Angus Heirloom Classic cows. I have been suffering for a long time from the ravages of my combat injuries in Viet Nam as a Scout for 1st Batt. 1st Marines. Rather than leave my wife with an estate she (likely) would not be able to manage, I’m making a strategic withdrawal (converting assets to cash) while I still can. It’s always been my policy that when someone comes here to buy . . . it’s all for sale; except my wife, my herd dog Willie; and, my horse. Please take a look.
Red Angus Heirloom Classic means the cow has strong beef in the body without the length of bone. Also, they get fat on grass alone.
on their appearance rather than the value of their calves. The cows only purpose is to produce calves, and that is the primary yardstick by which she should be evaluated.
Go ahead and ask, why PCC Influenced mid-size Red Angus Cow? 1st, they are the perfect cow for our sunny southern environment (and my temperament.) 2nd, their temperament (disposition) is tolerant of mine. 3rd, their fertility is excellent producing a calf every year (for about 15 years.) 4th, Their weight is in beef; not beef bones, hide and offal. Long legs and big bones are not what is eaten. Weaning weight is a product of high butter fat and nutrient dense grass (genetic & environment.) 5th, Conformation: length of body, neck, heart girth and pelvic cavity for ease of breeding and easy calving. 6th, Longevity: When I was in the financial industry we used to speak of an excellent investment as a “cash cow.” Falster Farm has a history of 17 year old cows giving a calf every year – that is a real cash cow!
