Ep 208 Lakota Ranch: Jeremy is Running for Congress 2024
Listen now
Description
It’s another stop on our Devon Pre-Tour run.  This time, we’re bringing you the sights and sounds from a delightful and delicious visit to Lakota Ranch in Remington, Virginia.  Lakota is the home of Jeremy Engh, President of Red Devon USA, Dr. Jerry Engh, the founder of the herd itself (and Jeremy, for that matter), and Patty Engh, who runs them both, we’re fairly sure.  We had a visit that included pasture rotation avec spicy herding dogs and spicier cows, a 30-year old Devon cow with calf (yes, we said that correctly), a stunning and mouthwatering winery luncheon experience (thank you, Chef Tim at Early Mountain Winery – what an amazing spread!), a hilltop hike to meet a tolerant bull and a world-travelling vet, and…well, we could go on, but we’ll let you hear for yourself.  And you can not only hear, but also see parts of it as well if you go to our Backyard Green Films YouTube channel.  We’re going to have to put it in a few episodes, as this visit was a two-day adventure and it was hard to put the camera down.  The hospitality of the Devonites was phenomenal, yet again.  Wow.   Links: https://www.britannica.com/place/Mason-and-Dixon-Line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_in_the_American_Civil_War https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/old-dominion/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chancellorsville www.reddevonusa.com www.milkingdevons.org https://reddevonusa.com/lakota_ranch https://www.earlymountain.com/ https://youtu.be/VhI0L26rs_E?si=tmESo1d41eJiUY4Y Support the show
