We specialize in show heifers, replacement heifers, and bulls for herd sire prospects. Cows are AI-ed to some of the best bulls in the Brangus breed. We also use embryo transfer to further enhance the genetics and quality of show prospects, replacement heifers, and herd sires. All prospective replacement heifers are DNA tested for feed efficiency and the most efficient heifers are retained as replacement heifers.
We start selling bulls at weening after receiving their booster shots through private treaty.
Our latest replacement heifer came from the 2012 Premier Brangus Event sale at the Holiday Inn in Houston Texas. She is from the great 541 cow family and her grandam 541H8 produced 127 calves. She will enhance to our breeding program.
Just a Cow
From time to time people tell me, “Lighten up, it’s “just a cow.” or, “That’s a lot of money for “just a cow.” They don’t know the distance travelled, the time spent or the costs involved for “just a cow”. Some of my proudest moments have come with “just a cow.”
Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a cow”, but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a cow,” and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a cow” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you too, think it’s “just a cow”, then you will probably understand phrases like “just a friend”,”just a sunrise”, or “just a promise”. “Just a cow” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. “Just a cow” brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of “just a cow”, I will rise early, stay in the barn for hours and look longingly into the future. So for me, and folks like me, it’s not “just a cow” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure enjoyment of the moment. “Just a cow” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a cow”, but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human”.
So the next time you hear the phrase “just a cow”, just smile … because they “just don’t understand”.
