With a colder than normal winter now behind us and Easter approaching, it is time to talk about some of the good things happening here.

Interest in our bulls has  certainly been ” over the top” so to speak as we were completely sold out by the end of January. We had youngsters go or are going to Port Hope, Massy and Charlton, all here in Ontario.

An Anchor D Viper son “DLD Phantom 309A” out of our Bar 5 Maria cow has impressed us from day one. Phantom is polled, his genomics score is right were we want it to be and his temperament is second to none.  I believe perhaps the most correct bull ever born and developed here. Phantom is being retained and will be hand mated to a select number of cows.

Calving has gone extremely well with 100%  live calves on the ground. We have offspring from San Mar Pharao, Equinox, Platinum, Wow- Effect, Viper, Arnold’s Image, and 3 heifer calves from our Kaw-Liga 91A bull, a polled King Arthur AFY 50C son we are in the process of developing here. King Arthur was imported in 1971 and we believe to be one of the best Fleckvieh bulls ever to set foot here in North America.

We have 11 calves from our up and coming herd sire Wow- Effect. They come easy, temperament and color is good. Would it be fair to suggest we are very impressed at this point in time?

After 2 years of development our Platinum bull 61X has proven to us that he can successfully be used on heifers. Each and every calf born to date has low birth weight, been solid in color with eye pigmentation .  We will be breeding several of our heifers to him this year.

So with spring in the air, we look forward to having two of our sons, David and Ben along with Sarah and grand children Michael, Katherine, Joseph and Nathan spend Easter with us here this year. To each and every one of you … Happy Easter!!!
