Live Oak Farm raises turkeys year round, although, they are admittedly more popular around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Featured above are the Broad Breasted Bronze young toms.

 We have also raised Narragansett and Chocolate turkeys. These two breeds are recognized heritage breeds. Narragansetts are noted for their calm demeanor and make great mothers. Chocolate turkeys are named for their notable "chocolate" feathers, feet and shanks. Chocolate turkey breeders were lost during the War Between the States and never made a come back.

Our customers rave about the truly superior taste of a turkey raised on pasture.

In fact, caterers preparing our turkey for agricultural conferences have commented on the excellent quality of our turkeys.

Our turkeys get reserved quickly so don't wait until the last minute! Reserve your today by emailing or calling Allison Schaum at allison@liveoakfarmsllc.com or  864-991-9839.

The Suffolk Punch Draft Horses have been the latest addition to Live Oak Farms. We are very pleased to have this rare draft horse breed on the farm.

Today's best known breeds of draft horses are said to date back to the great war horses of Medieval times. But while these great titans clashed in mortal combat, the quiet farmers of eastern England went about developing their own breed of heavy horse, the Suffolk Punch. This one breed, is today the least known to Americans, and yet has perhaps more qualities appealing to the American breeder than any of the better known breeds of draft horses.

The homeland of the Suffolk horses was Norfolk and Suffolk counties. It was bordered on the north, east, and south by the North Sea, and on the west by the Fens. Isolated from their neighbors, the farmers of Suffolk independently developed breeds of livestock to fit their special way of life. To plow the heavy clay soil they needed an agricultural horse with not only power but stamina, health, longevity, and docility. So these fine husbandmen produced the Suffolk horse and bred into him the attributes that fulfilled their needs.

The Suffolk farmer used his horses to till and harvest his own lands, so seldom did he have horses to sell. This not only kept the Suffolk relatively unknown but also pure, remaining unchanged and true to his original purpose, to be a strong and faithful worker for his master. Of all the draft breeds, the Suffolk is one of the oldest in existence with records dating back to 1880. Crisp's horse of Ufford, the foundation stallion of the breed was foaled in 1768.

The Suffolk in North America was hard hit by the headlong mechanization of the post World War II period. Although it had made great strides in popularity during the 30's, it still did not have the numerical base necessary to withstand the onslaught of the 50's. For a few years the Association ceased to function. Then in the early 60's as the draft horse market began its recovery, the few widely scattered breeders who had kept faith with their Suffolks reorganized, holding their first meeting in 15 years in May of 1961.

Suffolks possess intelligent heads with active ears, powerful and arching necks that are clean cut at the throat. The shoulders are inclined to be upright, suitable for power rather than action. The back is short and strong, the ribs springing high from the backbone. The quarters are long and smooth to the root of the tail which springs higher up than in other breeds. The hip bones are wide apart but smoothly covered, the croup usually level.

Our herd originated from B Bar Ranch in Emigrant, Montana. We do have a Suffolk Stud on the farm and offer stud services. Please email Allison Schaum for further information at allison@liveoakfarmsllc.com 

More photos coming soon of working. Sophie foaled on May 22, 2009 and again on July 19, 2010.
