100% BWF, Ranch Raised Angus X Hereford Heifers. There’s great heterosis in the heifers, mixed Angus and Hereford, having been crossed back-and-forth over generations. Sorted for color and size from 1,000 Head.
Bred to LBW Sitz Angus Bulls and due to Calve March 16 for 30 days.
The heifers themselves come from an Angus X Hereford cross cow herd, running out in big country. This herd has been closed for generations, with more focus on higher quality sire genetics being brought in over the last 18 years. With over 300 bulls in the Bull battery, there’s lots of genetic variation and vigor. A melting pot of genetic traits where the best cow traits rise to the top in their environment, because the weak don’t survive. The cows on this ranch can handle tough terrain and thrive with minimal inputs.
Their environment and low input management program has naturally turned them into a range cow with lots of longevity. It’s fairly common for them to have cows that get up to 15 or 16 years of age. I have seen cows on that place from 18 to 20 years old as well. These heifers are expected to be a medium frame 1300-1325 lbs cow at maturity.
The main cow herd is trailed 40 miles from the winter ground down to the pastures in the centennial in the spring. That says something for their maternal instinct because they have to take care of a pretty young calf for the whole trip. And then they get trailed 40 miles back from the summer pastures to headquarters again.
They take very good care of their calves, with over 90% of the cows being marked bred in October will bring that calf back the following October.
Their disposition Is that of a big country range cow that doesn’t want or need any help. However, that being said, that cross is not naturally predisposed to be wild and having fed and been around the Feeder cattle before I know it doesn’t take very long to gentle them down if the time and care is taken. But with that mothering instinct, I wouldn’t walk up and try to tag that calf by yourself.
Sires of the heifers will be Black Angus Bulls predominantly from reputation Angus Programs in SW Montana, such as Sitz and Reminisce Angus.
