Ivy League Calf pics

[j3cattleco]

Well we are starting to get reports in on Ivy League calves and the reports are awesome.  Here are pics of two that people have sent.  The White one is a heifer out of a double stuff cow.  Kyle Church raised her, he is a part owner in Ivy League.  The other is a bull calf from Colorado.  He is out of a Kiss This cow.  I think he is a purebred but, forgot to ask.  As I get more pics I will post them.  The bull calf is only 14 hours old in the pic and they both were in the 80lb range.

Goin just a little clubby EH? Ill bet hell really work on Elsie Jade(s) or Leroys Dam O0

Moderate framed and super thick is not necessarily clubby. I have a couple donors who weigh over a ton on a poor day, that Ivy League may work very well with. Shady Lane ( Jamie) brought 8 of my donors and 1 recip home from the ET center last spring when he came to our bull sale. He stopped and weighed his load and the 9 cows averaged just over 2000 lbs after being on the road for a few hours. Mind you, these cows had been at the ET center for several months and they were, well, fat ( there is no other way to say it!) Some of these donors are big cows, but they are also extremely easy fleshing cows. They come home from pasture with a big calf at their side and they are still in great shape.

I really like the dams side-a bunch of irish and some fullblood maine-and a ton of Dividend. Back in the day-touch of class -improver deals, Cunia (who dat?) etc were the club caf deal. At one time Ultimate type (Deerpark Leader x ? ) was a steer bull. I had my cattle with Deertrail for 14 years and we had some big cows-still got a couple 1800+ in pasture condition. So I suppose yesturdays clubby isnt anymore-BUt a thick smaller framed bull like him certainly would have been. Those were some great cattle in OKLA-and Texas when all those horrible doing sevilles and dual bred giraffes were the deal. I remember a dispersal in the mid eighties of almost all leggs cattle -cant remember if it was Freeman Roberts or Holloway-they were ahead of thier time.
