I got an email from a customer today. Attached to that email was this picture of his 9 year old daughter with her 1st ever "show heifer". The calf is a Doc Holliday daughter that they raised out of an average Red Angus 1st calf heifer. She hasn't been clipped at all, the photo hasn't been doctored & the calf has only been on pre-conditioner feed for a very short time period. She also was just recently halter broken & as you can see, she is already a pet. The calf is 4 months old, going on 5. I saw this heifer 2 weeks ago & I think that she looks better in person. Actual birth weight was 55 lbs. & she weighed over 300 lbs. at 4 months. Anyway, I was excited to see this recently weaned calf being "set up" by a 9 year old, with no prior halter breaking or show experience, in such a relatively short period of time. This is what it's all about & it is what makes me feel very good inside, seeing a statisfied customer doing well, despite not even owning a blower or having any showring experience! Unfortunately, this is not a sales pitch!! Doc Holliday semen is currently completely sold out & it will be sometime later this fall before any more will be collected.
