ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On May 19, 1997, the board of directors of the Company approved an
Agreement to Exchange Stock pursuant to which the Company issued 1,538,462
restricted common shares of the Company in exchange for all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Midland Cattle Company, Inc., an Iowa corporation
("Midland").

     Started in 1985, Midland Cattle Company, as an Iowa joint venture, Midland
reorganized on May 19, 1997 as a corporation formed under the laws of the state
of Iowa.  Midland has three shareholders, Gordon Reisinger, Charles Kolbe and
John Derner.  The three Midland shareholders are also directors of the Company. 
Prior to the exchange of stock, the Company contracted with Midland for beef
supply and brokerage services.

     Midland is in the cattle brokerage business, supplying area feedlots with
feeder cattle and actively marketing fed cattle.   Midland's operations include
acting as a broker for individuals and organizations looking to buy or sell
cattle and Midland may purchase cattle short or long to cover customer
requirements.  Consequently, some of the cattle are owned by Midland and carried
as inventory until a buyer is found.

     Midland currently leases a feedlot in Red Oak, Iowa and owns the buildings,
equipment and vehicles located on the feedlot.  Including leasehold
improvements, Midland's property and equipment have a book value of
approximately $878,959 as of March 31, 1997.

     The Company intends that Midland's current operations shall continue.

               NOTE TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

                            MARCH 31, 1997 and 1996



     Midland Cattle Company (Midland) was formed November 9, 1987 as a joint
venture.  Midland's operations consist of buying and selling feeder cattle in
wholesale markets.  Feeder cattle are sold and unsecured credit is extended
ordinarily to feedlots in the Midwest and Southwest United States.

     Midland reorganized on May 19, 1997 as an Iowa corporation and all of the
issued and outstanding shares of stock were exchanged for 1,538,462 restricted
common shares of Red Oak Hereford Farms, Inc.

     The condensed financial statements do not include all footnotes and certain
financial information normally presented annually under generally accepted
accounting principles and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with
Midland's December 31, 1996 financials included elsewhere in this Form 8-K. 
Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on
estimates than at year-end.  The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results that can be
expected for the full year.

     The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited; however,
they contain all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) which, in the
opinion of Midland, are necessary to present fairly its financial position at
March 31, 1997 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

Red Oak Hereford Farms, Inc. (Red Oak) acquired Midland Cattle Company, Inc.
(Midland) on May 19, 1997, which acquisition was accounted for in a manner
similar to pooling of interest. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if it were consummated on March
31, 1997.

The following pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, and year ended December 31, 1996, set
forth the results of operations of Midland with the results of operations of Red
Oak as if the acquisition had occurred as of the first day of the period
presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the accompanying Note to the Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and with the historical Financial Statements
of Red Oak and Midland.  The historical interim financial information for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, used as a basis for the pro forma
condensed consolidated financial statements, include all necessary adjustments
which, in management's opinion, are necessary to present the data fairly.  These
pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of
the results of operations that actually would have occurred if the completed and
proposed mergers had been consummated on the dates assumed above or of the
results of operations that may be achieved in the future.

                   NOTE TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

                                 1997 AND 1996



On May 19, 1997, the Board of Directors of Red Oak Hereford Farms approved an
agreement to exchange stock pursuant to which the Company issued 1,538,462
restricted  $.001 per share common shares of the Company in exchange for all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Midland Cattle Company, Inc., an Iowa
corporation, whose operations consist of buying and selling feeder cattle in
wholesale markets.

As part of the acquisition of Midland Cattle Company, the Company has entered
into an agreement with the former owners of Midland Cattle Co.  This agreement
calls for the Company to annually pay the former owners one-quarter of Midland
Cattle's profit up to an aggregate of $1,000,000.  The liability for this
agreement has been reflected on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheet.  Intercompany sales have also been eliminated in the unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.
