Boneso Livestock, along with Chad Holtkamp / Holtkamp Cattle, Wade Rodgers / Rodgers Livestock and Chris Rosa / Hunter Brothers, partnered on the bull "Walks on Water" that became a crowd favorite in the yards at Denver in 2010. We were very fortunate and appreciative that some of the best producers from around the country thought enough of our bull that they used Walks on Water to flush and breed to their top cows, and now the first calf reports are coming in — they are very positive. At Boneso Livestock we flushed several of our top Donor Cows to Walks on Water and are very excited with the results as well. All of our Walks on Water calves were born unassisted at a manageable birth weight, with lots of vigor and they hit the ground running.
