We have sold all our cattle and are no longer in the cattle business. After 25 years, this was a big decision -- but we are getting older and wanted to spend more time with our horses and our competition field and agility dogs. Thanks to everyone who has made our program so successful over the last number of years, it has been a fun ride.

We sold the majority of our herd to Rick Blankenship of Double Springs, Alabama. Call him at 205-272-2435 to see what he might have available in the future!

Some of the cattle we have sold in the past:

FH Dallas 07-14 (1 month) (Commander x FH Mayfly)	FH Dallas 07-14, BBU #pending: purebred red star-faced bull b. 12/20/14 (Commander x FH Mayfly). Mayfly is our best cow (rated U1-2 by BBU) and is a wonderful mother with a huge amount of milk. This was her second calf in 2014 and both of them are dandies! Dallas is really well built and is growing great. Probably polled; dam is slick polled, sire is scurred -- no sign of horns yet at 3 months. SOLD to Johnne Smalley of Wisconsin in May 2015.
FH Harlequin 07-12 (10 months) (Commander x FH Ireland)	FH Harlequin 07-12, BBU #C1026938: purebred polled brown paint bull b. 10/7/12 (Commander x FH Ireland). This one will knock your socks off! He is so flashy -- and also very well built and solid. A big boy, he is polled, and as icing on the cake, he is naturally gentle and friendly although we have not handled him much. His mother is one of our lovely young Osiris daughters and we are thrilled with her first baby. $1,100. SOLD to Brad Dewees of Mississippi August 2014.
FH Valentina 02-12 (6 months) (Osiris x FH Mayfly).	FH Valentina 02-12, BBU #C1015213,, purebred black polled heifer b. 2/14/12 (Osiris x FH Mayfly). Valentina is a full sister of the elegant Flight.

FH Cherokee 03-14 (1 month) (Commander x FH Flight)	FH Cherokee 03-14, BBU #pending: purebred polled (both parents polled) black star-faced bull b. 1/26/14 (Commander x FH Flight). With his star face, white underline, brockled hind legs, and white-tipped tail, this boy is splashy looking. Combine this with his good solid conformation, friendly disposition, and good underline, and this one will add a lot of wallop to your purebred or commercial herd. His mother is one of our lovely young Osiris daughters and her first two babies have been excellent. $1,000. SOLD to Brad Dewees of Mississippi August 2014.
FH Bruce Coleman 03-14 (12 hours) (Commander x FH Rain)	FH Bruce Coleman 05-14, BBU #pending: purebred red star-faced bull b. 2/19/14 (Commander x FH Rain). Cute, perky little bull, red with several white candy spots, he is turning into a very good looking boy indeed. Horn status unknown, but both parents are polled so we hope he is as well. Full brother to our gorgeous heifer Liz Perdew, this boy is going to be a good one! For sale: $850 if sold before June 19 (we will keep him here at no charge until weaning), $1,000 afterwards. SOLD to Diana Bullock of Florida July 25, 2014.
FH Ottawa 01-14, BBU #pending: purebred red or brown heifer b. 1/11/14 (Commander x FH Ireland). Solid red polled heifer with great conformation and excellent underline. Fine quality heifer that would not be for sale if we had a bigger pasture. $1,000. SOLD to Greggs of Middle Tennessee, July 2014.	FH Ottawa 01-14 (1 week) (Commander x FH Ireland)
FH Liz Perdew 06-12 (6 months) (Commander x FH Rain)	FH Liz Perdew 01-13, BBU #C1026940: purebred brown heifer b. 2/20/13 (Commander x FH Rain). With a white tipped tail, some white on her underline and a roan spot on her left hind leg, this polled heifer is super fancy and elegant, with near-perfect conformation and a very feminine appearance. Both parents are polled. This one was very hard to part with! SOLD to the Howells of East Tennessee, March 2014.
FH Georgina 02-13 (6 months) (Commander x FH Alexandra)	FH Georgina 02-13, BBU #C1026941: purebred red heifer b. 2/22/13 (Commander x FH Alexandra). This fancy bright red heifer has an especially pretty face and a strong topline; 1/2 white tail, some white on her underline. Polled. Hate to sell this heifer and wish we had the pasture space to keep her. SOLD to the Howells of East Tennessee, March 2014.
FH Noelle 08-12, BBU #C1026939: purebred black (brindle?) polled heifer b. 12/25/12 (Commander x FH Iris). This girl is Iris's second 2012 calf (the other one, Juliette, was born in February). Our Christmas present from Iris, Noelle is a good looking heifer, with a white lightning splash on her right shouler. Like all of Iris's calves, she is thick, sturdy, and outstanding. She is polled, with two polled parents. It has been many years since we have had a brindle calf, and we are hoping that when she sheds out this spring she still shows the brindling that she showed last summer. SOLD to the Howells of East Tennessee, March 2014.	FH Noelle 06-12 (8 months) (Commander x FH Iris)
FH Iris (2.5 years) (Summers x Midnight)	FH Iris, 02-5 BBU #S22863 U2-2, 2nd cross Black/mottle faced cow b. 4/15/05 (Summers by LBar 5502 x FH Midnight). Iris had her first calf in May 2007, a heavy-boned black and white paint heifer that was the best of our very nice crop of 2007 calves. Her calves since have always been among our best (see her 2010 model, a black paint bull, and her 6th calf born February 22, 2012, a white faced red heifer. This year's version is a gorgeous black brindle polled heifer that we are keeping as a replacement. Iris is a wonderful mother with copious quantities of milk, and is very caring of her calves. She has had a calf every year and two in 2012; never loses condition, and is still in the prime of her life. A great opportunity to buy a top cow! She is exposed to our polled bull Commander for a spring 2014 calf. SOLD to the Singletons of Harrogate, TN, August 2013.
FH Alexandra, 04-8 BBU #C958881 U, purebred registered red cow b. 5/17/08 (Chernobyl II x FH Richland). I'm probably going to regret selling Alexandra. She is out of our poster cow Richland and so far has had four heifers for us -- all of them are keeper quality. Alexandra is in on the compact side, very meaty and feminine, and she never lost condition even on her first calf. Solid bright red, carries for paint. We are keeping her 2011 daughter Rain and would like to keep the rest! Alexandra has been exposed back to our polled bull Commander for a spring 2014 calf. SOLD to the Singletons of Harrogate, TN, August 2013.	FH Alexandra, spring 2013 (Chernobyl II x FH Richland)
FH Hiwassee 06-12, BBU #C1026937: purebred brown or brindle heifer b. 9/29/12 (Commander x FH Flight). This heifer started out red but has turned a dark chocolate with some brindle stripings starting to show, with a white hind sock, a white-tipped tail, and some white on her underline. She just keeps on getting better and better -- long, deep, and smooth with a flashy color. SOLD to the Singletons of Harrogate, TN, August 2013.	FH Hiwassee 06-12 (9 months) (Commander x FH Flight)
FH Sunday 03-13 (6 months) (Commander x FH Mayfly)	FH Sunday 03-13, BBU #C1026942: purebred polled red bull b. 2/24/13 (Commander x FH Mayfly). Bright red, super topline and length, very pretty head and neck. Out of our #1 cow Mayfly, this boy is for someone who appreciates outstanding conformation. Polled and both parents are polled.SOLD to the Singletons of Harrogate, TN, August 2013.
FH Juliette 01-12, BBU #C1015180,, purebred red / mottle faced heifer b. 2/10/12 (Osiris x FH Iris). This heifer is great looking with a lot of chrome on her face, underline, heavily brockled legs and white tipped tail. Gorgeous, smooth and classy, she is one we hate to part with. She is exposed to our polled bull Commander for an early spring 2014 calf. SOLD to the Waltons of Kentucky, June 2013.	FH Leap Day 04-12, BBU #C1015215,, purebred red heifer b. 2/29/12 (Osiris x FH Alexandra). Leap has three sisters, Isis, Rain, and Georgina. These four heifers place her mama in a very special category as all of them are keeper quality! Unfortunately, we have limited land and can only keep one of them, so regrettably, Leap is for sale. She is exposed to our polled bull Commander, and the calf should be pretty awesome! SOLD to Waltons of Kentucky, June 2013.
FH Juliette 01-12 (left) and FH Leap Day 04-12 (right) (Osiris x FH Alexandra). These heifers are SOLD.
FH Gatlin 05-12: polled purebred red bull b. 9/25/12 (Commander x FH Wings). Wings' first calf is red with some white patches on three feet and some white on his underline. His underline is one of the best we have had. Friendly, quiet disposition. SOLD at the local meat market June 2013 after an accident in the pasture blinded him in one eye.	FH Gatlin 05-12 (6 months, with his mother Wings) (Commander x FH Wings)
FH Janiebiker, 01-8 #223394 U, registered second cross black paint cow b. 3/10/08 (Chernobyl II x FH Pasco). Janie is a registered and BBU-inspected second cross cow; all her calves by registered Beefmaster bulls are purebred and can be registered without inspection. She traces back to Angus/Hereford on her dam's side. Janie has had three full sibling calves,and all of them are excellent. We are retaining her two year old daughter Ireland; her son Torrent was sold as a breeding bull to South Dakota, and the heifer at side, Frankie, is quite outstanding. Janie has been bred back to our new polled bull Commander for a spring 2013 calf. Without the heifer, she is priced at $1150. If you want them both, add $800 to the price. We'd be happy to keep the heifer but in that case Janie will need to stay here on the farm till around the end of July or first of August.SOLD with her calf to Ava and Paul Bogan of Kentucky, July 2012.
FH Janiebiker (Chernobyl II x FH Pasco) and her 2012 heifer FH Frankie by Osiris
FH Isis 03-10 (25 months) (Osiris x FH Alexandra)	FH Isis 03-10,#C989588 purebred registered red heifer b. 3/13/10 (Osiris x FH Alexandra). Isis is a top quality, feminine, well-put together and very meaty heifer with a rich, vibrant red coat. She has a very small white mark just in front of her udder and is otherwise a solid bright red. Bigger than her mother, I like this heifer a lot and she is only available because of our limited pasture space. She has been bred to our new polled bull Commander for a fall 2012 calf, her first. Isis will be taken off our sale list if her full sister Leap Day sells along with Alexandra (see below). $1200. SOLD to Ava and Paul Bogan of Kentucky, July 2012.
FH Torrent 03-11, BBU #C1001484 Purebred deep red bull b. 3/5/11. Polled. He's almost solid red, with a small amount of white on his underline and a tiny spot on his forehead. Nice square calf with a lot of masculinity and a very good underline. SOLDto Lonnie Sharping of South Dakota, February 2012.	FH Torrent (pictured 8/30/11 at five and a half months) (Osiris x FH Janiebiker)
FH Sanford 04-11, BBU #C1001485 Purebred red bull b. 3/25/11. Polled. He's a medium clear red, with a white underline, out of our #1 conformation cow Mayfly and he looks very much like her at the same age except for the color. Classy looking bull calf with a good underline, great topline, and a lot of style. We are keeping his full sister for our herd. SOLDto Lonnie Sharping of South Dakota, February 2012.	FH Sanford (pictured 8/30/11 at 5 months) (Osiris x FH Mayfly)
FH George Washington 01-11, BBU #C1001482 Purebred red paint bull b. 2/22/11. He's a beautiful colored and very well built calf with excellent bone, great length and a lot of muscle. Son of our great Oasis son Osiris, and out of our super producing cow Iris, George is a full brother to the handsome Hilton. George is available for $700 until January 1, 2011. Ready to go. An excellent herd sire prospect, he will add a lot of size, meat and bone plus exciting color. Picture taken when he was standing downhill -- sorry about that! SOLD 10/20/11 to Sarah Shaw of Shawridge Farm, Sweetwater, TN	FH George Washington (pictured 8/30/11) (Osiris x FH Iris)

Cottage Farms #99, "Osiris", BBU #C940488, U1-3. Our current herdsire, Osiris is a 4-year-old handsome polled dark red fellow, a natural calf out of the famous donor cow Oasis by a polled Excite son. Oasis is making quite a name for herself as a dam of outstanding herd bulls, many of which have sold for five digits. Born 3/7/07, we purchased him as a 17-month old in August 2008. We have been extremely happy with the quality of the calves he has had for us, and with the way he is able to maintain his great condition on grass alone. He passes on his wonderful hindquarters consistently. We are keeping most of his heifers, including 4 from 2010, the only girl from 2011, and probably all of the ones we have in 2012. Since he is going to be the sire of most of our cows for many years to come, he is regretfully for sale and available for pickup in June as soon as he has rebred our cows for next year. This will be a great chance to own a proven polled (scurred) Oasis son with a bunch of good-looking calves on the ground to prove his worth. Great pedigree, great individual, the best bull and the best producer we have ever owned. $2,000. SOLD June 2011 to Mary and George Clark of Florida. We're sorry to see him go, but wish them the same wonderful calves that he sired for us.
FH Hilton 05-10,#C989590 Purebred registered black paint bull b. 4/3/10. Sturdy, flashy, strong with outstanding bone and eye appeal, and the highly desirable shiny black color with splashy white markings -- this guy is a top herd bull prospect! Lots of size and smooth muscle on this one. Hilton is available for $900. Weaned, dehorned, vaccinated, and ready to go now. SOLD 2/28/11 to Jamie Walton of Lancaster, Kentucky.	FH Hilton (pictured 10/16/10) (Osiris x FH Iris)
"FH St. Patricia" BBU#C827681, U2-1 (Flash x Cowie Owie). Top Producing Older Bred Cow A good size, deep red cow, Patty has had a good-looking calf every year by a variety of bulls. Her average calving interval is 11 months and one week. At age 10, she is still in wonderful shape, has a great udder with tiny teats, plenty of milk, and a very agreeable, easy-to-get-along-with disposition. She's had 9 calves for us, including two of our favorites, New Orleans, a heifer by Summers and a full brother, Chernobyl II who sired two of our keeper heifers. Her calf at side is a handsome son of Osiris, solid dark red, who is for sale as a singleton at weaning for $650. ! SOLD 8/16/10 to the Thomas family of Middle Tennessee.
FH St. Patricia (Flash x Cowie Owie)	FH O Canada (Osiris x St. Patty)
"FH Richland" BBU#C827682, U2-2 (Flash x FH Easter Clown). Top Quality Older Bred Cow. Richland is always our visitors' favorite because of her flashy color and great looks. She's a beautiful, cooperative cow and an outstanding producer. This 2001 cow has had 8 calves for us, with an average calving interval of 11.5 months. She is a wonderful mother who still has small teats, loads of milk, and gets her babies off to a great start. We kept two fine daughters as replacments -- see Alexandra, her 2008 heifer by Chernobyl II; and Wings, her flashy 2010 heifer by Osiris. For the quality of her bulls, look at Chrome, a pretty paint bull by Summers who turned out to be a fine sire in his own right. SOLD 8/16/10 to the Thomas family of Middle Tennessee.
Richland with her 12-hour old calf Wings, April 10, 2010	FH Richland (Flash x Easter Clown)
"Pasco" BBU#F41228 Another Top Quality Older Bred Cow / Three-in-One package. This 2001 polled cow is one of three full sisters that we have used, and she is the largest and has the best overall conformation. Her neck is particularly nice, and she carries a lot of meat. We also like her interesting black paint color -- it sure makes her easy to pick out in the pasture. She had 7 calves for us and they have all been dandies. We are retaining her 2008 black paint heifer as a replacement. SOLD 8/16/10 to the Thomas family of Middle Tennessee.
Pasco (Flash x Angus)	FH Coyote (2010 bull calf) (Osiris x FH Pasco)
FH Cortland (FH Chernobyl II x FH St. Patricia) with her first calf, FH Friday by Osiris	FH Cortland 04-8 #C958880. First calf heifer - Bred cow or Three-in-One package. A purebred red heifer b. 4/4/08, Cortland is friendly and inquisitive -- so much so that it is hard to get good photos of her as she comes right up to be petted and sticks her nose right in the camera! She is a solid bright red with practically no white, has good sturdy bone, a big frame and an excellent underline, but she is a little rough over the topline near her tail and has a somewhat undistinguished neck. She will mature to be a good-sized cow, and as expected, she has already produced better than herself. Her mother is one of our best cows and a wonderful producer. Cortland had a dandy bull calf by Osiris on April 16, FH Friday. SOLD 8/16/10 to the Thomas family of Middle Tennessee.
FH O Canada (1 month) (Osiris x FH St. Patty)	FH O Canada 02-10, Purebred, registered solid red bull b. 3/26/10. Very fine young bull calf who is a rich dark with practically no white. His mother, FH St. Patty, is one of our top producers and this boy, her first by Osiris, looks like an excellent prospect. SOLD 8/16/10 to the Thomas family of Middle Tennessee.
FH Coyote 01-10, 2X red paint bull b. 3/10/10. Great topline and underline with one of the tightest sheathes we have had on a young bull calf. He is polled, a very attractive golden red with great markings and is an all-around nice looking calf, particularly for people who don't like the big Beefmaster ears -- his are much more modest sized. SOLD 8/16/10 to the Thomas family of Middle Tennessee.	FH Coyote (2010 bull calf) (Osiris x FH Pasco)
FH Friday 07-10, purebred, registered red bull b. 4/16/10, star face and two hind socks. Very nice calf with good frame, lots of bone, and a pretty face too. Marked like a horse, with a nice-sized star and two white hind socks. This guy has a lot of good genetics behind him and is a darn fine looking calf! SOLD 8/16/10 to the Thomas family of Middle Tennessee.	FH Friday 07-10 (3 weeks) (Osiris x FH Cortland)
FH SuperCowieFragilistic 04-9, (Osiris x Mayfly), 06/5/09. Pretty polled purebred heifer with a great long square body, elegant long neck, pretty head, and nice underline. Solid bright red with a white-tipped tail and white underline. Except for the color, she looks very much like her gorgeous mother did at the same age. As both her parents are polled, there is a 50% chance that she is homozygous polled and will never produce a horned calf. SuperCowie is for sale at weaning for $750 (October 2009) as we don't want to breed her back to her Dad next summer. An excellent heifer that is only available because of our space limitations! SOLD11/14/09 to Dalton Johnson of Mississippi -- look for them at the shows!	FH SuperCowieFragilistic (2 months) (Osiris x FH Mayfly)
FH Red Jester 02-9, purebred bright red bull b. 4/1/09. A nice-looking, well built and solid calf who is growing off very well. Very nice underline and good bone. His mother FH St. Patty has had a long string of very fine calves and is a wonderful mother with an abundance of milk. Jester is available for $650 at weaning (~September) until January 1, 2010. This guy will add scope, frame and muscle to your herd! SOLD11/14/09 to Dalton Johnson of Mississippi -- look for them at the shows!	FH Red Jester (3 months) (FH Erik x FH St. Patty)
FH Ashley (nearly 3 months) (Osiris x FH Iris)	FH Ashley 03-9, (Osiris x Iris) 05/19/09. Iris is following in her mother's footsteps, always producing one of our very best calves every year. This polled, dark red mottle-faced heifer (the first-born calf by our polled bull Osiris) is super heavy boned and meaty, with a very pretty head too. She is for sale at weaning, registered, for $750. The ONLY reason she is for sale is that we plan to keep her sire for several more years, don't have room to run two bulls, and her mother is still quite young. This one is definitely keeper quality! SOLD 7/13/09 to Tommy Matthews of North Carolina, for pickup in the fall after weaning.
FH Great Escape (24 hours) (FH Erik x FH Pasco)	FH Great Escape 01-9. 2X POLLED black paint bull b. 3/24/09 , This is Pasco's 6th calf, and he is flashy with a great frame, bone, and underline.

FH Erik (9 months) (FH Lawrence x Richland)	FH Erik 07-7 #C958878. Purebred red paint star-faced bull born July 1, 2007, this guy is an inbred son of FH Richland and FH Lawrence. Don't usually do inbreeding, but BBU Rep Jerry Hemphill saw him in mid-August 2007 and said he was the best bull on the farm -- and we have some nice ones. Heavy boned, built right, with lots of thick muscling. SOLD fall 2008.
FH Status Quo (3 months) (FH Chernobyl II x FH Iris).	FH Status Quo 05-8 #C958882. purebred red white-faced bull b. 5/18/08.

SOLD 5/15/08 to Matt Williams of Johnson City, TN, for pickup in the fall after weaning.
FH Cedar 04-6. Purebred red star-faced bull born July 15, 2006, the first calf of our lovely young U 2-1 cow Devin. This guy is stocky and well built, very smooth, with the best underline we've ever had on a bull calf - a "1" for sure. Dehorned, dewormed, vaccinated and tattooed, and classified U. Ready to work, and available for $900. SOLD 3/25/08 to James Layne of Whitwell, TN.

Sold to Skillet Fork Beefmasters summer 2007:
"Midnight" BBU#FC37520. We didn't get this 1996 polled First Cross cow away from her sire in time and she had her first calf at 17 months, a nice-looking heifer. This stunted her growth, but she bred back right away. Her 2007 heifer, Winter was her 10th calf (seven of them heifers!), and she was six months shy of being 11 years old at the time! Her calves are always among our very best. See her daughters Lightning U1-2 and Kansas, as examples, and her very fine 2002 black paint bull calf. Also see her 2005 daughter Iris,, a look-alike young 2X cow by Summers that we have retained in our herd. The Shanes took a chance on Midnight despite her age because of her calving record and her great condition. We predict she will reward them with another couple of outstanding calves.	Midnight (Fork Creek 2-77 "Redson" x Angus)
FH Nikki 06-5, BBU #S22864, U 08/04/06. Good looking, black, and polled — just what we ordered! Born June 18, 2005, we planned to keep this heifer in our herd. She had her first calf in May 2007, a loud-colored black and white paint bull (see below).	FH Nikki at 12 months (Summers x **September)
FH Winter 01-7, BBU not yet. Shiny black polled 2nd cross heifer with a small amount of white on her underline. Midnight's 10th calf, born January 31, 2007, she is a a full sister to FH Iris. Winter has an especially good hindquarters which don't show in this picture.	FH Winter (7 weeks) (Summers x Midnight)
FH Tuck 02-6, BBU not yet. Strong, sturdy polled heifer with a star face and several small roan patches on her sides, this girl was born June 30, 2006. She's got an amazing frame on her already, and a great neck. Another one we never thought we'd sell, she is bred for 2008 to our young bull Chernobyl II.	FH Tuck (9 days) (Summers x Pasco) FH Tuck (Summers x Pasco)
FH Giuliani 08-4, BBU#S22547. This heifer was born September 11, 2004, and is named in honor of the New York Mayor. She was Terra Nova's first calf, and we're pleased with the result. Giuliani is scurred, medium sandy red, with some white on her underline, a tiny roan patch on her back, and some roaning on the bottom of her hind legs. She is our biggest cow. She was inspected 2X and classifed as "U" in July 2005. Picture taken January 2006, in her winter coat. She's shiny in the summertime!	FH Giuliani (Summers x FH Terra Nova)
FH New Orleans (Summers x St. Patty) at 15 months	"FH New Orleans 01-5", BBU#C910436, U 08/06. A very fancy red heifer b. 4/11/05, we had intended to keep this one. New Orleans is a full sister to Shiloh below, but is a lighter color, has more white on her underline and a little bit of roaning on her lower hind legs. A really stoutly built girl! She had her first calf, a brown paint heifer, on April 27, 2007.
FH Rood (8 months) (Summers x Shiloh)	"FH Rood 05-6", BBU#C930017 , purebred red heifer with several small spots and white hind pasterns b. 7/23/06. This is Shiloh's first calf, and she is a nice, stocky heifer with good bone. With all her funny little polka dots, she almost certainly carries for paint. Although she is an incest-bred calf, which we don't usually like to do, she is an extremely nice heifer, very smooth and meaty with a moderate frame, and should have very nice calves.
"FH Surprise Surprise 02-7,", BBU#C943690, purebred brown and white paint heifer b. 4/27/07. Interesting coat pattern, terrific bone and frame -- her mother is a beauty and this is her first calf. Would have liked to keep this one!	FH Surprise Surprise (3 hours) (FH Lawrence x New Orleans)
"FH Splash 03-7,", BBU#943691, purebred black and white paint heifer b. 5/3/07. Flashy, well built heifer, her mother did herself proud with her first calf! She may be the best from our 2007 calf crop.	FH Splash (12 hours) (FH Lawrence x Iris)
FH Chrome 06-6. Purebred red paint bull born August 8, 2006. Full brother to FH Lawrence listed above, this is the fourth straight full brother that Richland has had. He's maybe the best of all, although that's hard to say yet as the others were all pretty classy -- but he's certainly the loudest color! He's going to be a good-sized bull.

FH Devin (at 15 months) (Summers x FH Smuggler)	FH Devin 03-4, BBU #S22545, U2-1. This is another one we never thought to sell. Devin was born 5/21/04. Mostly red with one white shoulder/upper leg and a small spot on the other side, this young cow is polled, big, bright red, and very pretty. She was the only heifer we kept from her mother Smuggler, who was the only heifer we kept from her grandmother as well. She calved easily, and raised a very fine young bull calf by Summers. 10 months later, she had a dandy polled paint heifer by FH Lawrence.
"FH Shiloh 02-4", BBU#C894623, U2-1 red/brown cow b. 4/7/04. This is Patty's first calf by Summers, and she's got everything you want to see in a young brood cow -- great bone, long body, lots of muscle -- all in a plain brown wrapper. Actually, it's a very beautiful dark mahogany red wrapper, several shades darker than it appears in this picture. She's got a wonderful underline, too. She had her first calf, a dandy red heifer in late July 2006. In this picture, taken August 29, 2006, she had been nursing the calf for a month and is holding her weight unusually well for a first-calf heifer.	FH Shiloh (Summers x St. Patty) at 2 years

FH Rally 04-7, BBU#C943692, excellent purebred red and white paint polled heifer b. 5/19/07. She's loud colored and has the looks to go with it. One we would have kept under other circumstances.	FH Rally (24 hours) (FH Lawrence x FH Devin)
FH Memorial Day 06-7, BBU#C943689, Black and white paint bull b. 5/28/07, the first calf from his mother Nikki. He's a dandy, and one that you won't lose in the pasture for sure!	FH Memorial Day 06-7 (12 hours) (FH Lawrence x Nikki)

He's the type of bull that will really stand out in a crowd with his rich mahogany and white coloring. This is the third full brother out of our poster cow Richland, and it's been an outstanding cross. Take a look at the fourth bull calf from this cross above. At 12 months, he settled 4 of our first-calf heifers, which is extremely early fertility for a Beefmaster bull. Dehorned, dewormed, vaccinated. $950. Pictured at 13 months on August 29, 2006. SOLD 10/13/06 to Jerry & Jodi Ragsdale of Chuckey, TN
	FH Ghost 09-5. Polled purebred red paint bull whose coat pattern will knock your socks off. Born October 26, 2005 out of our beautiful U1-2 cow Lightning. This guy is looking better every day.

SOLD 8/28/07 to Herman Presley of Missouri.
"Summers" We purchased Summers from G.E. Summers and Jackie Fuchs of Virginia in August 2002 at 14 months. He was classified by BBU as U1-3, which means his conformation is superior (1 out of 5), and his underline score is average (3 out of 5). He's a smooth, meaty bull,very gentle, and moderate in size (about 1800 pounds). His sire, L Bar (Lasater)5502, U1-2 is one of the Beefmaster breed's premium sires, topping performance tests for carcass quality held at the University of Texas for the past several years, and siring many show ring winners as well. "Summers" dam was a Lasater-bred cow purchased at their annual production sale in January 2001. Cattle from the Lasater herd are famous for their fertility, milking qualities, and ability to do well on grass alone. Summers' babies have great bone, long frames, are very smooth and carry lots of meat -- see our Calves page for pictures! We sold him in order to retain a number of his heifers in our herd. A proven, top quality registered bull by the famous L Bar 5002, available at a very reasonable $2,000 -- he will pay for himself with your first year's calf crop! SOLD April 2006 to a commercial herd.	"Summers" U1-3 (L Bar 5502 x L Bar 9219)

FH Cinco de Mayo 04-5 (Summers x FH Pasco) FH Cinco de Mayo 04-5. Gorgeous 2X bull calf born May 5, 2005, a wonderful young bull for a commercial herd. He's big, meaty, with a flashy colored coat and a gentle disposition. This boy has a solid pedigree for fertility and quality. Paint is recessive, so if bred to solid color cows, they will mostly be solid unless some of them also carry for paint. Dehorned, dewormed, vaccinated, and ready to go. $800 until May 1 2006. If he were purebred, the price would be much higher -- we're really impressed with this fella! SOLD 3/12/06 to John Ringley, Jamestown, TN to be his next commercial herd bull.
FH Ginny (Summers x FH July Surprise)	FH Ginny 05-5. Solid black purebred heifer born May 29, 2005.

She's for sale because we also have her mother, a full sister, and a half sister, and have very limited pasture space.
