I have 24 bred heifers @ $1375, 40 heifers ready to breed @ $1075,
and 40 yearling heifers @ $975. All these heifers I raised out of
my own cows here at the ranch. They have all been line bred from
the Kit Pharo bull Emancipate. These heifers have Emancipate on
both maternal and paternal side for several generations. They are
100% grass efficient and perform on no supplements what so ever.
They have never had grain, mineral, vacinations, wormers,
antibiotics-only grass. They are broad, short to the ground,
black and slick hided.
These lines are producing good quality grass finished cattle for
our direct marketing sales. All are black angu, slick hided, and
will do well on our type pastures and conditions. Most will be
three and four frame cattle, shorter and broader grass type
animals. I have calved literally hundreds and hundreds of
Emancipate cows and heifers and have never pulled a single calf.
We calve all our heifers with our adult cows and we do not pamper
anything. We have had a closed herd since 2004 and all our young
cattle are now line bred with Emancipate.
We are breeding for a trouble free, low maintenance cow, about three
frame and no more than 1100lbs. Many of our best producers are
these slick hided, size three frame cows weighing about 950lbs.
Since Emancipate was a 2.5
frame size he fits the bill very well and puts this size on his
daughters. We operate under a Beyond Organic protocol with no
antibiotics, parasitic wormers or licers, chemical fertilizers,
pesticides or implants. These heifers are trained for rotational
grazing and are very gentle.
