FGP Cattle

Joseph and Zane have started their own herds.  They are starting small but are concentrating on finding the right combination of cows and bulls to create a strong base to grow from.

Joseph purchased his first cow/calf pair from Twin View Polled Herefords (Ernie McDonald) and Zane purchased his first heifers from Doug Troop and Circle-D Herefords (Marcel DeCorby).

Last year, both Joseph and Zane received semen through the CJHA Semen Donation program.  They are proud of the calves from the donations that are on the ground and are looking forward to watching them develop.  A big thank you goes out to Jim Duke and Kevin Wirsta for their generous donations.

This year, the boys received the following semen donations:

           HARVIE SENSATION 26S
           DOUBLE-U JETHRO ET 8J
           SQUARE-D EDGE 694D
           TA-BAR WLB FORMULA 035J

Thanks are extended to Ian Harvie (Harvie Ranching), Dave Guilford (Guilford Farms), Jim Duke (Square D Polled Herefords), and Bill Biglieni (WLB Livestock).  The cows have all been AI'ed and now we wait for the calves to come!

Checking out the cows in pasture!
