This is the full sister to "The Wizard" promotional bull that was displayed in Denver by Cadavic Land and Cattle. We purchased her in the group of elite females in the fall of 2009 from them. We matched her up with Master of Puppets today and I hope she stuck because this cow really produces and I think phenotypically is the type of cow he will work great on!!

JSC Harietta 21T (Ali x Hotline/Harietta)

GCCM Sweetness 2R - dam of JSC Harietta 21T

This is one of my few high % maine females that I purchased in the High Standards Female Sale from Jones Show Cattle of Ohio back in 2008. Her mother won her division at the NWSS as a bred heifer and this was her first calf. She is pictured above as a heifer calf at Troy's place that fall before the sale. I think that the combination of Ali, Hotline and the famous Harietta donor with Master of Puppets could really produce a head turner!!

From Nathan Stone

Hey I just finished dropping that Heatwave bull you sold to Ryan Ottmann off at Billings MT. He looks good...I would even use him myself!

From Chase Miller

Here is a DONOR we flushed today. As you can see they come in all shapes and sizes.

The Toby Keith concert in Milwaukee tonight was amazing!

From Mike Crisp

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!
