Tori and her sister Tanner bonding with Annie a heifer we picked up from Runkel this morning. Tori washed, blew dry, clipped(with help), and broke to lead, all in 9 hours! Not bad for a 8 yr old cowgirl. Watchout boys, this one might out-brush you someday!

This is a photo of the Wizard, promotional bull displayed in Denver in 2003. He was a registered chi out of an Impulse cow. We purchased his mother in the package of cows from Cadavic Land & Cattle in 2009. She was bred to Master of Puppets this morning....if she can raise a display bull once we hope she can once again!

Subject: Donor Possibility ...

Raymond,

My name is Pat Wolfe from Ohio. After perusing and reading your site and blog information, I started thinking, "What would it take to get one of those donor cows here to Ohio ?"

Any chances later this fall selling any of them?

Let me know ...

Take care and may you have continued success ...
