Fall 2023 offerings: Cows, heifers, calves being weaned

Russet Valley Farm sells polled Herefords live on the hoof, Hopkinton, RI — A tail here, a tail there as cows and calves gather in the field this fall.

Three polled Hereford bull calves and two heifer calves are now being weaned and readied for live sale at our farm.

The calves, born in September and October, are AI-sired, from one of two purebred, registered Herefords carefully selected through the American Hereford Association. Their dams were bred, born and raised at Russet Valley Farm. Genetics and other records are available.

Several cows and heifers, both registered and commercial, from our herd are also for sale. Arrangements also can be made for future purchase of the calves, including steering and cow-calf pairs.

Please contact us for more information and pricing. Delivery can also be arranged.

Hereford calves on the way, hay is here

First Hereford calf of 2023 at Russet Valley Farm, Hopkinton, RI — August 2023: They tell me that mom and I have the same eyes.

It’s calving time at Russet Valley Farm, from both proven polled Hereford mamas and heifers. Some cows and heifers are now up for sale. We expect to steer bull calves for sale after weaning. Cow-calf pairs may also be available.

We’re also selling hay this year, after the fields took off from the heavy rains (one blessing!) and fertilizing. Second cutting is under way, with small squares of an orchard-grass timothy mix weighing about 40 to 50 pounds. Round bales may also be available. Pick up at the farm; delivery may be arranged.

2023: Focus on breeding Hereford heifers

Russet Valley Farm Polled Herefords, Hopkinton, RI — Camera shy, my eye.

As we enter the new year, we’ve trimmed our herd to focus on quality heifers, achieved after years of careful breeding.

In turn, they are being artificially inseminated at our farm by an experienced technician with semen straws from select, registered bulls. The first round of calves is expected late summer. We’ll breed more later in the year for spring calves. We can also breed to your choice.

If you’re interested in bred cows or cow-calf pairs when available, please contact us to find out what’s available and when. Thank you.
