Since things have slowed down with winter, I figured I’d do a post about one of our cows!

Everyone meet “Shorty”!

Shorty is a 13 year old cow, her sire is Styx and her dam is sired by Duramax. She has her name for a reason! She is our shortest cow on the farm. Something that makes Shorty unique is that she has had a set of HETEROPATERNAL SUPERFECUNDATION twins!!!! If you don’t know what that is, it mean she has had a set of twins that had two different sires. Shorty has a sweet as pie temperament!

Duke and some his spiker sons!!

Fun fact about Duke is he has had 100% conception rate on all 70 cows he has been with for the past 3 years! We are hoping he keeps his streak with the 25 cows he was in with this fall!

(Duke is the one up first to the bunk.)

That time of year again! 🎃

We are throwing around the idea of pulling semen on bulls this year...

The first photo of Macho, his sire is R1417 “Gunsmoke”(King Ransom's son). He placed 2nd in the 4-year-old typical this year at the convention. He has the best mindset ever even with cows in flaming heat.

The second photo is Duke, his sire is TOE Wichita. This bull has gotten every single cow he’s been with pregnant! (He’s been with 60 cows so far and is in with 25 this year). He is a very beautiful bull and passes his “look” down to his babies. Also very nice mindset on this one even out with cows in flaming heat.

The third photo is a 3-year-old, his sire is Gunsmoke too. His mama is our best cow G030 who is a Hector Daughter, all her daughters and granddaughters are AMAZING mothers. She is the mother of our huge bull calf out of Coolbeans this year. His mindset is also amazing.

If you would be interested please send us a message. This is just a thought as of now, but if we do get enough people wanting semen we will get some pulled. Thank you!

People wonder why we cut our bulls, here is one reason of many!

Everyone asks how aggressive the mamas are… well here’s a mama who would like to stomp our butts into the ground. Her calf has already been tagged. Her gritting her teeth is their warning sign to back off. Her baby was tagged yesterday.

Duke (yellow tag) and Macho (red tag) waiting at the gate last week! They are such sweet boys! Dukes first calf crop was 2023 and his babies are turning out soo chill, they just follow us around the pasture like puppy dogs! Can not wait for machos first crop this year!
