A Bovine Bounty at Hopewell!
In 2009, Hopewell was fortunate enough to receive a generous gift from Rob Briggs of some very special cows. Several Belted Galloways joined our herd and immediately became favorites of our community. Belties, as they are known, are easy keepers producing very lean, grass fed meat. They are also striking in appearance (often known as the Oreo cow).
This summer, fortune and Rob Briggs smiled on us again. Rob was moving and needed to find a home for his entire herd of more than 20 Belties. Thanks to some very generous guests at our Summer Solstice event in June, we were able to create new pasture space and fencing for the entire herd.
We are very grateful to Rob for making our bovine dreams come true with this generous gift!
