Independent agricultural and regional coverage documenting different chapters of the BF Farm story.
Outside reporting adds another layer to the farm story.
BF Farm has changed over time. Earlier stories describe a larger multi-species livestock operation with cattle, goats, Kunekunes, and rotational grazing. More recent coverage follows BF Farm’s Kunekune-focused work and community piglet visits. Keeping those articles together gives readers a way to see the farm through independent reporting rather than only through our own website.
Historical context matters: older features describe BF Farm as it operated when those stories were published. They should not be read as a statement that every livestock species, acreage figure, feeding practice, or management system described there is still current today.
The farm’s development: a move from Georgia to Missouri and the expansion into a larger livestock operation.
Land management: rotational grazing, fencing, gates, forage observation, pasture recovery, and learning to manage different livestock species.
Why Kunekunes fit: practical observations about pasture behavior, temperament, and the decision to emphasize quality breeding stock rather than volume.
Community involvement: 2023–2024 reporting on young Kunekune visits to nursing and care facilities in south-central Missouri.
The current BF Farm story
Today, Kunekunes are the focus of BF Farm. The larger cattle-and-goat operation documented in several older articles is part of the farm’s history, not a description of the present-day herd. The experience gained during those years still influences how Mark thinks about land, infrastructure, breeding decisions, animal care, and the practical guidance shared throughout this website.
