Photos are done ☑️ 📸🐮

Videos need editing and then to work on putting all the details together to get the sale posted. It’s a continuous project with one step after another and after another with the underlying daily barn grind of rinsing and blowing. We are loving the process and we are really proud of these calves.

We are starting off our sale introductions with the only steer in the offering. He’s a flush mate to a heifer we bred and sold via private treaty last fall and shown successfully for Isla Britten. This steer is big haired, big b***d and will be an awesome breed steer. We’d be ready to follow someone to Nebraska next summer for Jr Nationals with him.

The new lights in the barn are going to be perfect when we start clipping next week! 💈🐮📸

All of the Shorthorn Plus heifers in our sale were all tied under the new lights today at the same time sooo let us take this opportunity to list some stats on the Shorthorn Plus Heifer offering:

-There are six Shorthorn Plus heifers being offered ranging from 25% to 75% Shorthorn Plus
-Two are red, two are blue roan and two are black with white.
-Only three are high enough to show as a plus (50% or higher). The other three are only 25% and have the option to show in the AORB class at Michigan jackpots.
-Three are dual registered.
-Five head go back to Lady Crystal 434-P.
-Only one has been shown already and she hung a banner 🏆

Our online sale will be Monday, October 14th hosted by SC Online Sales! Clipping and picturing begins next week. Cattle are available to view by appointment. Thank you to everyone’s who has shown interest thus far!! Contact any of us with questions or to see them in person.
