Welcometo The Anderson LT Livestock website.We raise American Aberdeen Cattle LT Andy and Babydoll Southdown Sheep.  Covid was a problem the spring of 2021 The virus made us need to change things. We had to down size our already little farm. We were in the middle of lambing season when Covid hit. We had some really beautiful lambs, all available for sale were sold. We sold our black ram, Jacob to a family who moved to Rolla, Missouri from New Jersey. We also had to send Caedmon's black ram lamb, Kintore to fill an order. That left us without a black sire for November 2021 breeding season. So. . . We bought a new black RR ram from Iowa. We bought Drake from Jolyn Meehan. He was bred by Harland's Top of the Town Downs. Drake has done his duty, and WAS SOLD. He has moved to the Greeley Colorado area along with a really nice ram lamb, LT Legolas. Caedmon's ram, Hamish was repurchased, and is back on the farm. He is our black flock sire for the future. we will only be selling a couple of ewe lambs in 2023If you would like to be put on ourbuyers list for 2023 Lambs, you can email us by clicking here:
EMAIL UNTIL COVID HIT, we were adding to our registered Aberdeens. We bought a registered fullblood American Aberdeen bull, Rambling Red we called "Red Bull". He did a great job for us. But we have since cut down to two cows, and we will each year sell the heifers, and cut and eat the bull calves. Pepper had heifer calf, Sage, Sage is available for sale. Before we sold her, our fullblood cow, Emerald had a nice fullblood bull calf, LT Andy we will use him for our new herd sire. . . Unless someone buys him LT Andy Our beautiful little cow, Coriander's. steer calf from 2020 will be put in the freezer in 2022. Coriander had a nice heifer calf in May 2021 we called Cinnamon. Born a reddish color, She has since turned to a shiny black. Cinnamon is available for purchase. Marjoram, NutMeg and Pepper's 2018 calves were steered and we have enjoyed amazing, well marbled, tender meat from them Dixie and NutMeg had really nice 2019 calves sired by Ramblin Red. These calves were also put in the freezer. With the difficulty finding a butcher, we had to travel 2 hours both ways to get our meat processed. We finally had The 2019 steers processed mid October. sadly, Covid really hit us hard. We got so weak. It was difficult to do the chores, and then about the same time Marylou was in hospital with covid, Terry had some stress in his back muscles that restricted his movement for a while. We made the difficult decision to sell a percentage of Ramblin Red, and cut our cow herd down to 2 cows. We decided to sell all but Coriander and Pepper. February, 2021 Dixie had a nice heifer calf. NutMeg had a bull calf. Both calves sold with their cows. It was a pretty emotionally stressful day when the trailer came to pick up Dixie and NutMeg and their calves. But is what had to happen. We then had an offer on Emerald if we could haul her to her new home. We agreed. However, when we hauled Red Bull to his new home in Tennessee, a drunk driver rear-ended us just a mile from our destination, totally destroyed the trailer, knocked it over backwards, tore up the floor, and disengaged the center gate. Miraculously, when I got back to where the trailer was laying on it's side, looked inside, and Red Bull was standing, looking a bit confused. The end gate had to be cut off in order to get the bull out safely when his new caretaker arrived and backed his trailer up to ours, emergencyworkers and sherriff personnel all helped to get the bull from one trailer to the other. Red bull was amazing. He even started his new job the very next morning. Pretty good for a bull that was liberally thrown upside down! But we are left without a trailer as we wait for a settlement from the drunk driver's insurance. Chris had to get his pickup repaired. Terry ended up with a broken 7th rib from the impact. I, only got whip lash, corrected by our chiropractor. Red Bull, was forunately uninjured. We were supposed to deliver Emerald to her new home in July, but we were still waiting for a replacement trailer. The buyer finally came to get her, leaving us with just the two cows and their heifer calves, Sage & Cinnamon and our little bull calf, Andy.
