Barn Charm - Bowman Barn

Andy | Monday, December 05, 2011 | | Best Blogger Tips

The Bowman's have been land stewards in Enniskillen, Ontario since 1929. In June 2005 the dairy herd was replaced with a certified organic beef herd. The breeds that were selected had a quiet disposition, good mothering ability and excellent meat quality. Currently grazing on our pastures are Red and Black Aberdeen Angus, Hereford, Murray Greys, Maine Anjou, Scottish Highlands, Belted Galloways and one remaining mascot from the Holstein herd - "Linen". This information came from their web page that you can find here.

  5. I haven't heard of some of these breeds. Farming is like another universe to me. But I'm not so much of a city girl that I don't appreciate barns. they are such wonderful structures. Thanks for visiting and have a great week.

  7. That is a very nice looking barn, but what is really neat is that they have a website filled with so much information!

  10. Such a fine looking barn!
    I went to school with a large family of Bowman's. They were loggers. :)
    I really like the hay 'elevator' in place and the cow picture on the side.

  13. Your barn and silo this week are wonderful. It looks like they are in the process of moving the hay up to the hayloft. Love the picture of the cow on the side and the pretty blue sky above. genie

  15. Funny, I never heard of Enniskillen until very recently, despite spending a fair bit of time not too far from there. Would these Bowman's be who Bowmanville (which is where I spend that time) is named after?
