Caldwell Hereford Ranch 2010 Calves

WOW! Our spring 2010 calf crop set new ranch records for bull and heifer weaning weights. Actually, three of the four highest weaning weight heifers we've ever raised came from this group, representing two sires, and both sires bred by us. There is no doubt that those late summer rains helped, but it was mostly the genes. The top two heifer calves came from a mother/daughter pair; a daughter of JV General 603 and her daughter by EE 8020 L1 127. The top bull calf was also out of a 603 daughter. The spring group is heavily Optimum linebred and should add many females to the herd. The fall group is mostly Mark Domino and there are some really nice bull prospects in it.
