2015 Minnesota Shorthorn Sale Entries

I have consigned these three bred heifers to the 2015 Minnesota Shorthorn Sale.  We have also put the blue roan heifers pictured in a previous post from the 2014 North Star Classic by Hard Core out of a Prince of Jazz daughter.  

324A Purebred Shorthorn

 

304A Shorthorn Plus

313A Shorthorn Plus

2015 Bred Heifer Offering

The chart speaks for itself.    The plus females are like peas in a pod.  All out of the same Norseman King son and solid Shorthorn Mamma's.  Most of them are solid red with a couple showing some roan.  I am asking $2800 for them in December with the price going up as they get closer to calving and we have more feed invested. 

The purebred Red Angus is a solid female but we decided to breed her Shorthorn as we have been so happy with the cross.

I will be putting one of the purebred Shorthornns in the Mn Shorthorn Sale and have them priced higher than the plus heifers.  Let me know if you have any questions.
 

2015 North Star Classic - Valley City ND

Once again we made the trip to Valley.  Good weather and good times T showed two plus heifers.  The pic is of one of our consignments to the 2015 Mn Shorthorn Sale - March 8, 2015 at Simon Arena in Cannon Falls MN.  She's a March 2014 Hardcore (maine) out of a white Prince of Jazz female. Broke and ready to go and should get 'bluer' as she ages!!

2014 Dakota County Fair

Purebred Simmental bull calf.  Class winner prospect calves.

The Dakota county fair was here and gone for 2014.  Tiana had a really nice fair starting out with the cow/calf and feeder calf show.  Her bull calf won his class and she competed well in showmanship.  She then had the beef show with her two heifers and Shorthorn plus steer.  She ended up 10th overall with her steer and 12th with her Simmental heifer.  The next day she had the swine show where she really shined!  Champion breeding gilt, reserve champion market gilt, reserve interview and reserve showmanship plus a class winner with her lightweight cross barrow.  She's headed to state fair with her steer and will also compete in the Jr. Barrow show and FFA/open class beef weekend.  After that here comes school!

2013 Pig Project

This year again we raised our own show pigs, and did very well.  My niece Annabelle did good, she got 3rd with her market gilt, and last with the barrow but the barrow is a crossbred that looks like the kind of pig i showed when i was in 4-H, but she did awesome in the auction!  Tiana got Reserve Champion Breeding Gilt and Show person, and also got Champion Swine Intermediate Interview. Also got 3rd with her Purebred Hampshire barrow, she was going to take him to the Minnesota State Fair but he injured his leg, so she took her breeding gilt.  She got 6th place for 4-H, which was amazing because her class had about 20 gilts in it.  Then we took that same breeding gilt to FFA and also a market gilt that we got from Nick Janak.  The breeding gilt got 4th in her class, then the market gilt didn't place.

This was Tiana's gray belted barrow she named Willy Wonka!

These are all of our crossbred pigs, that were out of T's old sow that she showed up at the

 Minnesota State Fair.
