Winter on the Farm

January 29, 2019July 9, 2019 / Lauren Langley / Leave a comment

Winter.  We are in the thick of winter.  It is cold, windy, wet, and really no fun is being had on the farm, unless you are the bull.  Despite all the negatives, we are very fortunate in North Carolina because generally we do not see harsh winters like other states do.  It may get down … Continue reading Winter on the Farm

High Quality H2O

June 25, 2018July 9, 2019 / Lauren Langley / Leave a comment

Did you know that water is the most important nutrient for beef cattle?  Cattle must consume high quality water each day to remain in good health.  As you can imagine, providing water year round can be quite the chore, from cleaning water tanks to thawing frozen water in the winter.  For several years now we … Continue reading High Quality H2O

From Newborn to Weanling

May 21, 2018July 9, 2019 / Lauren Langley / Leave a comment

Calving time is definitely the most exciting time on the farm each year.  Not far behind that is weaning and selling time.  That is when we can really see how well the calves are performing and more what they will look like as mature cattle.  I get excited about what their future holds.  Some calves … Continue reading From Newborn to Weanling

Wrapping Up Winter

March 28, 2018July 9, 2019 / Lauren Langley / Leave a comment

It is almost April and we just received snow just a few days ago.  I think everyone is ready for winter to be over and spring to really arrive.  The pastures are coming in really well and will grow more once the temperatures can remain warm.  The cows have spent the winter on the "new" … Continue reading Wrapping Up Winter

Let’s Talk Bovine Pedis

April 20, 2016July 9, 2019 / Lauren Langley / Leave a comment

Did you know that cattle sometimes need a pedicure too?  Last week, at our cattlemen's field day we had a hoof trimmer do a demonstration on a few beef cows.  If you have never seen a hoof trimmer in action, it is quite the site to see! It all starts with understanding basic hoof anatomy.  Take … Continue reading Let’s Talk Bovine Pedis

My First Blog Post!

April 4, 2016July 9, 2019 / Lauren Langley / Leave a comment

Let me introduce myself, my name is Lauren Langley and together with my family we own 3B Cattle Company in Snow Camp, NC.  I like to think of myself as the "brains" of the farm but dad likes to think of me as the annoying manager calling him all the time!  A little bit about … Continue reading My First Blog Post!

Can anyone else relate? I am so over hay feeding and winter already! Give me warmer temps and green grass already!! ☀️ 🌱 At least it’s Friday!!
I am convinced that the best days are those spent with family and cattle. Throw in some sunshine and decent temperatures on top of that and we are all smiles doing farm chores!
In the winter our cows receive all the hay they can eat, fresh water, minerals, and protein/energy supplements. This year we are feeding them two types of hay: fescue and peanut. North Carolina grows thousands of acres of peanuts each year which leaves a by-product of vines and leaves that can be made into dry hay. Peanut hay is a good source of fiber and protein making it a great choice. Quality can fluctuate year to year with weather and you have to watch out for too much soil being baled with the hay. Always buy from a reputable source and have the hay tested. We like feeding peanut hay because of the protein content and the cows really seem to enjoy it!
Happy New Year! 🎊
Life is always better #betweentheears of a #quarterhorse 🐴
There is just something special about a good farm dog. Dory wasn’t even supposed to happen but 3-ish years ago she found us through a friend and she has been an amazing companion for my dad on the farm. Dad lost his original farm dog, Tipper this year which was tough on all of us. Thankfully, sweet Dory has been there when we needed her the most. She is the happiest dog ever and is always by your side ready to go!
