NEWS & New Additions

December of 2007 we lost a great cow. At the age of 18, Thorndale Tara died from difficulties during calving. She gave birth to a sweet little heifer calf, her 17th natural calf (including 3 sets of twin heifers) and being the foundation to Scott's herd where to date 39 animals have direct materal lines to her. This cow lived quite the life as being one of the family favorites, a combination of being extremely friendly and extremely stubborn in her old age pretty much gave her the freedom to move whenever she wanted. She knew the tractor or skidloader would wait!
Tara- you will be missed!

Thorndale has now gone "GREEN" blowing in the wind!!!!
September 2007- we finally got our 2 windmills standing in the pasture with the cows.
These windmills will be used to power the farm and house.

He is a full brother to Blue Chip. This bull has many more pregnancies but the first ones are starting to hit the ground.
They are not falling too far since they are so tall! These calves seem to be very tall, just like this bull. I have not gone around looking at bulls to see what they all are like, but this bull just looks so fancy! Basehit is scheduled to be collected after the New Year celebrations.
(Banker x Bouqet 4E94)
Top Acres Co Pilot ET is in the tank, and available!
His picture and information is on the breeding page...the calves are numerous and looking right! We have used him heavy, thats why we got him. Our CoPilots have been selling this year...everywhere. Some of our best are CoPilots. Our nicest heifer on the tanbark this year was a CoPilot and she is only looking better.
