We had a great weekend at the Kentucky Beef Expo. Flight Path’s Xtraordinaire is the 2011 National Beefalo Show Grand Champion Female. Flight Path’s Xenia is the Reserve Champion Female.
Breeding Cows
Yesterday we bred 6 full-blood Beefalo cows to a variety of Shorthorn bulls. Trying to get some exciting show calf prospects. Will post results as they come.
Flight Path’s Xtraordinaire Grand Champion at Springfield, MO Beefalo Show
Flight Path’s Xtraordinaire wins Grand Champion Female at the National Beefalo Show in Springfield, MO. Xtraordinaire is an excellent example of the hybrid vigor you can expect when crossing a bovine bull (in this case Shorthorn) with a full blood Beefalo Cow (Flight Path’s Rebecca).
Twins
Today we had our first set of twins. Two nice heifer calves – one red, one black. Calves number 3 and 4 for the year.
2010 National Reserve Champion Bull
We are just back from the Kentucky Beef Expo and the National Beefalo Show where Flight Path’s Userious was awarded Reserve Champion Bull. He is shaping up to be an excellent genetic influence on our heifers and looking to have his first calf crop on the ground in 2011.
First Calf of 2010
Our first calf was born about 6AM Tuesday, January 19. This is an early start to our calving season which will jump into high gear in April/May. For now, take a look at this little heifer calf. She is our first successful A/I calf and a great little Beefalo – Shorthorn Cross. Looking for her to add diversity, frame, and showiness to our herd in the future.

Welcome to the farm! Flight Path Farm is a small-scale, 40 acre farm located in northeastern Ohio.
At Flight Path Farm, we raise registered Beefalo. Beefalo is a cross-breed of domestic cattle and Bison (American Buffalo). This unique hybrid of beef cattle yields a tremendous quality of table meat that is high in protein but very low in cholesterol making it a wonderful alternative for consumers with heart conditions or high cholesterol. You can read more about Beefalo and view the nutritional facts from the USDA here.
