Three Arrows Yesterday<\/h2>\n

Three Arrows Farm was started in 1981, by Dr. Fred Shealy Jr.\u00a0 He started the farm with a vision of preserving this land \"\"and providing a fun and\u00a0safe\u00a0environment for his family to grow.\u00a0 The farm wasn\u2019t named until later on,\u00a0when all three children were born.\u00a0 That is where the name Three Arrows came from, one arrow for each child. \"\" Our current logo (Elvira the orange cow)\u00a0 was the first cow born on the farm while the Oak Ridge Boys song \u201cElvira\u201d was playing on the radio so the name stuck.\u00a0 Elvira lived on the farm her whole life (24yrs) and was the only orange cow in the herd of black Angus.\u00a0 Today the farm is continued by Wells Shealy, Dr. Shealy\u2019s youngest son.<\/p>\n

Three Arrows Today<\/h2>\n

Currently, we raise 60 head of Registered Black Angus and Hereford cattle on 250 acres. \u00a0\"\"\u00a0Our animals are on pasture their whole lives and we rotational graze the herd, so they are always on fresh pasture. \u00a0This helps to prevent the field to be overworked and provides a good supply of fresh forage for the cows.<\/p>\n

We select for superior genetics through our artificial breeding program, so that\u00a0there is no\u00a0need to give them any artificial growth hormones.\u00a0 This also gives us the ability to keep our herd closed and keep a good genetic variance and prevent any inbreeding within the cow herd.<\/p>\n

\"img_20160806_123825\"We handle our animals as humanely as possible, and it shows.\u00a0 Our animals are very friendly towards us as we give them no reason to fear us.\u00a0 We give them yearly vaccinations so that they are all in good health and have no need to feed antibiotics to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
