I hope in the next few weeks to get around to a lot more guys places that have supported us through the years. I have been to probably fifteen guys already. In the spring try and attend anyones branding I can to lend a hand. So for the most part I get lots of my stops in then. If it works out to get back again then I will do so but things seem always to be so crazy. So hope a phone call is understood. Yesterday was at Bryce and Wyatt Burnetts as they are shut down with combining right now with all the rain we are having. Think in last twenty four hours 2.7 inches and still counting. So got to Burnetts and we took the quads and went for a great Angus cow tour. The consistency in the breeding program always impresses me so much. They have a goal of producing calving ease Angus bulls with that added growth and they do as good a job as anyone I have seen. The Calves consisted of Duff Encores, BC Lookout's, Dunlouise Cortachy Boy, Fahrens, and Final Answer calves. The top calves in my mind were the encores as there no throw aways there. They calved out 25 first calvers this year so the herd of sixty is very young. Those two year old got whopping big calves on there sides and the sweetest udders.
Also watch for this fall a heifer calf that they are bringing out that is a real sweet heart. If you seen the mom you would even have more appreciation. She will show at pen show in swift the end of the month and at Agribition.
This spring the Burnetts bought one of my favorite bulls out of the sale(pictured at top). He is a calving ease bull with lots of length, nuts, and hair. I really hope that he is an impact herd sire and can do good things for them moving forward. Thanks again guys for you support.
