The other day while checking cows I snapped pictures of a few of the yearling heifers...After reading the replacement heifer thread I thought I would post a picture of a few that I found that day...
They are really gaining on the green grass and are cycling.. (Still about a week before I put bulls out.) Our young girls don't get pampered much either.... Get corralled and fed a little grain/pellets for a couple weeks after weaning mainly to gentle them down and after that they are back out grazing- and when the old cows are brought in from summer pasture they go back with them- and are wintered with them thru the winter... Learn to rustle and survive right from the start... And I've found a heifer on the gain breeds up better then some of the fat ones wintered in the feedlots...
These heifers were all sired by the Lazy Bar B Bannon 2 BY bull #17049646 - which has Bannon of Wye UMF 8420 as grandsire on both the top and bottom.. Bannon of Wye proved to be a very good mama cow maker- so hopefully these double bred great granddaughters will too... He was owned by Horse Butte Ranch and Whitney Creek Ranch, is now dead, and semen is virtually nonexistent....
We'll know in about 10 years how they worked out !
This is my favorite heifer - L B B Juanadamere 408 # 17942807... Her mother (Cole Creek Juanadamere 5U) is a little cow that brings in one of the top calves every year..
L B B Juanada Rita 402 # 17942804.... She is out of a pretty Cole Creek Seven Son 67T daughter...
L B B Juanada Rain 405 # 17942805 a daughter of Cole Creek Juanada Rain 127W who's paternal great grandsire was the Cole Creek Black Cedar 46P bull that put Cole Creek ranch into the big times... We've incorporated quite a bit of "Cedar" (C H Quantum 6247) bloodlines into our herd...
L B B Mary 406 17942806 - She traces back 3 times on her papers to the old Bannon of Wye UMF 8420 and her maternal grand sire is the O C C Magnitude 805M bull...Her IBC is 16.15%... It will be interesting to see how the linebreeding works out with her...
L B B Celtic Beauty 401 # 17942803 out of a little cow I bought from Whitney Creek Ranch-
W C R Celtic Beauty 013X who's maternal grand sire was Ballot of Belladrum...
