Spring

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers out there.  Today was a great day spent with family and enjoying some great beef at Covington's Beef House!

I would like to welcome everyone to our new blog!  I will try and keep everyone updated on the happenings at the farm.  We are a little over half done with calving.  The early calves are really taking off and looking great.  We have a great set of AA LF Airline 849 ET, AA LF T-Bone 9132, MCF Fully Loaded 701, and AA 29F Boomer 620 calves on the ground.

Breeding season is in full swing.  We moved all the cows to summer pastures on Saturday and will be moving bulls in on Monday.  We have A.I.'d a handful so far and will be synching about 20 more.  We have some exciting matings for next year.  The A.I. sires we chose to use this year are Star TCF Shock & Awe 158W ET, the reigning two time Supreme Champion at Denver, CRR About Time 743, the 2009 Supreme Champion at Denver, TH SHR 605 57G Bismarck 243R ET, a great performance and maternal herd sire from Topp Herefords, Harvie Dan T-Bone 196T, an exciting outcross bull from Canada, SHF Rib Eye M326 R117, a great carcass and heifer bull from Sandhill, and AA HRD Chuckwagon 0138, an exciting young herd sire from Able Acres that we bought a share in, look for him this upcoming show season!

Check back often for updates and pictures of the calves!
