Backbone Ranch
Well-known member
After being in with the cows for 60 days, we pulled the bulls out last week. We had split the herd into three breeding groups. I am anticipating a much tighter calving season this next spring, as we did not see anything come back into heat after the first 35 days of the breeding season. These are the sires that we used.
BB Uncle Tony- Tony is 7 years old now. We bred him to the majority of our older cows because the majority of our younger cows are his descendants.
BB Backbone's General- General is a 4 year old son of Monterey Marshall whose first calves we are expecting in about 6 weeks. He had an 81 lb birth weight and was the best of our 2015 calf crop. We sold him as a yearling and bought him back this past October. We bred him to all of our Tony daughters and granddaughters, and he is a complete outcross to the rest of our herd.
BB Backbone's Dominion- Dominion is a 2 year old Tony son that was the best of our 2017 calf crop. He had an 82 lb birth weight, and we are using him to moderate some of our largest cows. He was the last calf out of one of our top producing cows.
