Success Story from Heifer sold in 2010 Sale

We wanted to share the following letter we received from a past customer/friend.  Love hearing success stories like this and also like to hear how our livestock progress after they leave our hands.  Thanks for sharing, Karly!

"Just wanted to stop by and say how thrilled I am with the heifer I got from you guys a few years back! I believe it was the 2010 sale and she just had her second calf and took first time (has taken first try for all three breedings, so nice!) for her third due next spring. I believe she is a Heat Wave daughter and was sale #62 if I remember right! My name is Karly Kavajecz, a friend of Kera Giampolo, in Northern California and I bought two steers and this heifer from you a few years back. Anyways just thought I'd send you some pics of her new baby who is heading to the same fair with an FFA kid and I can't wait to see how he does! She is Chianina x Maine and the bull was registered Angus. Here's a few pictures of him and his momma. "

Fall?

Did someone forget to tell Mother Nature that Falls comes before Winter?

Hunting Weather & Good for Hairing up Calves!

We thought we'd better a clip a few of the calves again that we did early on.  They have really haired back up with the cooler weather, and man have they grown!  Check out the back view of one of our favorite "Red" boys..AM50.  You could set the dinner table on here.

 

And here's a behind shot of him & the Fancy Unstoppable Steer AX131.   POWERHOUSES!! 

 

These guys just want to go back to the field to eat again.

 

 

More good things to come!

We clipped a few more of the heifers & steers today and took a couple of pictures just because they looked so good we couldn't wait!  These heifers are a cool bunch. ..You gotta see them in person to really appreciate how good they are! Stay tuned for more pictures & videos to come soon.

Champion Cow/Calf!

Congratulations to Makayla Taylor for a job well done with her Cow/Calf pair.  Makayla purchased the cow, YM21 sired by Step Up as an open heifer from Barker Cattle Co. through the Legends of Fall Sale in Oct. 2011.  She won Reserve Champion Cow/Calf Pair at the Beef Unlimited Show 2013 in Filer, Idaho and won Grand Champion Cow/Calf Pair at the Cassia County Fair 2013 in Burley, Idaho.  Makayla works hard with her projects and we love to see youth rewarded for their efforts like this.  She plans to take the calf as a steer to next year's fair, and he looks like he'll be a good one!
