Congratulations to Crooked Creek Ranch

Thank you to Crooked Creek Ranch, El Paso, Arkansas and congratulations on their purchase of W5 Overtime 444J a very super cool KJ 2403 Lead On 321S ET son.  This January calf is super clean front ended with a big top in him and a great muscle pattern.  He has eye appeal to spare.  "Red Eye" as Dad calls him also has a calm disposition as well.  We are excited to have David Rawe and his family share our genetics.  We look forward to hearing great things from this young bull. 

Congratulations to Crooked Creek for also having the Champion Get a Sire entry in the Texas State Polled Hereford Show held during the East Texas State Fair.

East Texas State Fair Results

We had a great show at the East Texas State Fair.  This year the show broke Horns and Polled into separate shows.  It was the State Polled Hereford Show.  We took two entries to the event and walk away very excited about the confirmation of our breeding program.  -S W5 Gran Torino 4249 Y14 was named Reserve Champion State Polled Hereford Bull.  We purchased him from Schock Ranch as they were greatly reducing their herd.  When I say this calf at two months old I was impressed.  When I saw his Dam, I was even more impressed and knew this pair would be a great addition to our herd.

Y14's pedigree is tremendous.  On the top side he goes back to 146 with some Pure Gold.  On the bottom side his Dam is out of P606.  A super mating in itself.  We believe that "Dennis" is an exceptional bull with unlimited potential.   Plans are to have semen packages available in the spring of 2012.  Look for more exciting news from -S W5 Gran Torino 4249 Y14.

We also had a super cool intermediate heifer that stood Reserve Champion in the Division.  There was alot of talk about her as well. 

In the Horned Division we garnered several rosettes as well, including Reserve Intermediate Heifer, Senior Yearling Champion Heifer, Reserve Champion Bull Calf and Senior Champion Bull.  We had a tremendous day.

 

Our senior herd bull, W5 Overtime 400J, stood Division Champion.  He is an outstanding individual.  His first calves are on the ground and are very stylish, with a lot of eye appeal.  His heifers are averaging 60 lbs.  I hope to have some pictures up soon. They are dark and really cool.
