Minnesota State Sale 2011

We are consigning two bred heifer entries in the State Sale to be held at Simon Arena in Cannon Falls, MN promptly at noon.  Please refer to the Minnesota Shorthorns link on our web page for more details.
 Lot 30: BSF 814 Springtime 935w
Just like the footnote in the catalog describes this Alta Cedar Signature daughter doesn't dissappoint.  Her look is the same as her Byland Dazzler mother.  She's save for a March 2011 calf to Shadybrook Scotty (you can see a daughter we are showing in previous posts).  I will admit both heifers would look better in warmer weather (temp at picture time was well below zero) but it show's the hardiness of the cattle.  Actual birth weight - 79#.
 Lot 34: BSF Kammy Secret 914w
I wanted to put another solid red bred on the sale and Kammy Secret is so similar to our other entry its kind of hard to tell them apart!  Her sire DF Victor as many daughters in production not only in Farmington, MN for the Donnelly's but for the JR Ranch in Washington State.  We decided to ultrasound this year when preg checking and she is safe with a heifer calf to out heifer bull BSF Blue Ultra 917W (*x4161724).  A very solid package to buy with confidence a solid red female safe with a heifer calf.  Actual birth wt 90#.

 Springtime on left and Kammy on right.
