Great pics! Built Right x who?
Who owns the red heifer flushmate?
We had a set of twins two years ago, heifers, one was solid black and one was a red baldy. Never seen anything like it. Both turned out great.
Have you guys ever shown bulls? With that bald face calf you have there I think you should give it a whirl.
The dam is well known in our parts, L202, she herself has won lots at State Fair and District Fair. Her daughter is a Macho who has won tons, then won Missouri State Fair as a cow calf pair this year. She is a Drake Stress Free (Avalanche) x Burns Bull on bottom. This is her first flush, and I bought a set of eggs because I liked the Macho heifer. The owner, Paradeis Cattle, own the cow and red calf. They have a bunch of the embryos coming in the spring. When they flushed the cow, she gave 52 #1 eggs! As a 9 year old!!! Never been flushed before. They are just tapping into that potential, she has had some really great cattle. She is expecting to Dreamcatcher in the Spring, if I remember correctly.
AFA showing bulls, we are green, only done it once. The cow that had the embryo threw a bull as a first calf heifer last year, and we showed him. At the age of 7 months, he won Reserve Champion Simmental Bull at Ozark Empire Fair, a pretty big district fair here in Missouri. He went on to win Champion 4-H bull all Missouri State Fair, and won his division but got beat out by older bulls in the open division. She is a good cow, and a great mother, and when her natural calf did so well my daughter wished we had AI'd her instead of putting an embryo in her. I plan on putting another embryo in her to try for a heifer! Her natural calf can wait a year or two! With only 12 head of cattle, someone has to carry an embryo now and then
I still have some Invasion X Blackfoot embryo's I need to put in, and some Pacesetter x Drake Lilo (the dam of our good cow that wins everything as a cow calf pair, Lilo also had the Grand and Reserve Grand Females at the Ozark Empire Fair last year. Great cow there). I promised I would not buy any more embryo's until I put some in.... yea, right!
