Recognizing the Best

Why Dams Of Distinction Are Crucial To The Success Of Our Herd

A cow receiving the Dam of Distinction honor is a cow that meets the highest standards of commercial cattle production. Only a few active cows are recognized. All heifers have the potential to be a Dam of Distinction, but only a small percentage fit the job description of an ideal cow year in and year out.

To qualify, a cow must have:

• Produced at least three calves.

• Initially calved at 30 months of age or less.

• 370 day calving intervals (400 day as a heifer).

• Average progeny weaning weight ratio of 105 or higher.

Marketing Assistance

Marketing your cattle is an important decision, especially if it only happens once or twice a year. If you’re looking for new potential buyers for your cattle, let us know 1-2 weeks in advance of your sale date and we will inform a group of feeders and cattle buyers. Rausch Hereford genetics have become known as extremely feed efficient, high grading cattle with added performance. Many Rausch influenced cattle go through the Greater Omaha 1881 Program - they are always looking for more!
