Stillwater Bulls in the Blue Collar Bull Sale
Check out the videos of these big boys going up for sale March 25 2023.
Stillwater Farms LLC will be hosting the Blue Collar Bull Sale.
Farming is a Family affair
Bruce had to take Bonnie his wife and 3 of the granddaughters of a tractor ride.
Ironically the New Holland is one of his least favorite tractors. I think it is because it’s not green, but hey we all have our preferences!
Giving birth isn’t always easy!
This bull was so big and backwards coming out. Momma tried hard, but she had to have help!
Ray Breagal cattleman with the hat on and farm owner Bruce Tubaugh grab a hold and dig to get the job done!
Bruce would tell you any day of the week he would rather be in the dirt than do office work! I agree sitting here at the desk watching it rain on a Friday afternoon get post scheduled for the next week hoping to be back in the dirt next week!
What’s a good bull worth?
Stillwater’s first bull of the calving season on the ground.
Interesting article feedlot magazine below:
This week we revisit this age-old question based on the February 21, 2023 USDA Market Report. The question has been asked forever, or at least as long as we have been breeding cattle with a notion of trying to make the next generation better. It is a classic and timeless question. It is an important question. At this time of year, when many bulls are being marketed and we are planning ahead for spring breeding season, it is the question that is asked a lot!

Ellie Mae is on duty!
What an amazing asset to our farm! a lot of people are not aware of the role Donkeys play in protecting livestock, especially young calves from predators such as coyotes. A full grown Donkey can easily fight off and even in some cases kill coyotes.
This group of mothers and calves have been move to the back pasture for grazing and to make room for more calves to come.

Bacon, eggs and Hashbrowns
What better breakfast food is there? We have a nice family pork package available that includes quite a bit of breakfast style meats including Bacon, Sausage links, Sausage patties and bulk sausage.
Sadly there is actually very limited bacon on a pig. Unfortunately your lucky to get 9-13 pounds of bacon per pig.
First Heifer of the Year
Stillwater has been blessed by so many calves this year already, thankfully we finally got a heifer out of the group. She will be added to the Stillwater herd producing some of the best registered angus.
Grilled Brats
Who doesn’t like brats? The seasoning used by Dave’s Cutom Butchering on our sausages and brats is unbelievably good. I would only eat Johnsonville brats before. Well that changed after I had these!
The weekend is coming up. You need something to grill try one of our meat packages here:

Three flavors regular, jalapeño and cheddar.
Simple to fix thaw and grill over low to medium heat cook slowly to avoid burning the outside and pink on the inside.
Cooked low and slow the brauts only take about 15 minutes to grill properly.
Now any of you out there boiling the brauts first are destroying the great flavor. Slow down we are country folk here. Sip some tea or your favorite beverage let the grill do the work.
Grilled Pork Chops
The flavor of the pork produced at Stillwater Farms is second to none! The pigs are allowed to roam and have access to unlimited feed and clean water using drinkers for the pigs.
So simple to prepare grilled chops make for a fast easy meal on nights when you are rushed.
Prepare earlier in the day by allowing to thaw in the refrigerator. If thawing is not complete I usually finish thawing rapidly in hot water since Stillwater Farms meats are all vacuumsealed.
Once thawed warm the grill to medium heat, season your chop with your favorite seasoning, I usually use seasoned salt, garlic powder or salt.
Cook over medium heat until 165degrees in the middle or until desired doneness.
Serve with fresh vegetables of your choice.
