Born September 26, 2022 she joins Jacob and Jessy and big brothers Arlo & Wells! Welcome!

We bid an earthly farewell to both Roger and Ellie last year. Our lives were changed forever, but those of us who were fortunate enough to know Mom and Dad realize the world was a better place because of the countless lives they touched. We rejoice in the fact that they are together once again; they did not spend too much time apart. God’s providence is a blessing for sure. I often wonder how I got so lucky as to be chosen to be their son. What an honor, what a gift. And what a comfort to know that Jesus Christ has provided victory over death at the foot of the Cross.

Here is an absolute beast of a bull! I truly struggled with selling this one. He puts so many pieces together correctly for me that I think he has a real chance to be a changer. He is soft made, big-middled, fluid and athletic when he gets on the move and wide enough to make you take a second look. His maternal granddam is the Miss Wix 926 cow, who happens to be the dam of Titanium 3127. 3127 is arguably the most powerful bull we have ever used here for pure muscle and strength of top clear through his big, stout hip. So perhaps he comes by it predictably! His sire is an own son of the legendary PAPA Forte 1921 out of the super cow Coleman Donna 714. If his birth numbers hold true, and he makes a herd sire that is heifer safe, the answer will be, no, I should not have let him go. We plan to plug him in here this year. Selling ½ interest and full possession after May 10, 2023 to allow us time to get him collected.

A high performing son of the Emulation 7519 bull. Weaned off his mom at 730 lbs. and ratioed 113. He has the power, presence and balance that catches your eye every time with a big strong stride that looks good. He looks and acts like a herd bull should. His pedigree offers some variation for those that need an outcross to our standard fare here.

A good looking son of 80F that stems from the 20S Foxfire cow that may have been the best one to ever walk our pastures outside of her dam, 303. 20S is the female that taught us how powerful and unique her mother was. Good performance for this guy earned him a favorable spot in the order.
