An exceptional opportunity awaits to acquire a valuable registered herd that has been expertly bred and selectively chosen to produce top-quality seedstock. This investment promises long-term returns, with each cow meticulously documented and registered to ensure clear lineage and history that can be traced back for years. Extensive DNA testing has confirmed each animal's registration papers, guaranteeing the acquisition of proven bloodlines that have been carefully selected for their desired traits, such as hardiness, temperament, and fertility.

The most exciting thing about this group is that they are ready to roll into any program! You can breed them for Dec/Jan Calving again to whatever sires you want or you can hold the bulls back to target any calving date you wish!

About the Cow Herd

This cow herd is accustomed to high altitudes ranging from 4,500 to 6,000 feet, where they run on forest service allotments in the summers. With medium frames and an average running weight of approximately 1250 lbs, these cows are the perfect range cow, handling well with a pleasant disposition.

The cows are handled with expert stockmanship in mind. They are gentle enough to be calved out in a barn, with every pair going through the barn this year, but still have the maternal instincts to care for their babies out on big country.

Management

Management on the Rock Creek Ranch has been second to none. All the cattle were DNA tested after purchase to ensure they matched the registration IDs. Several mistakes were found, and rectified thanks to their diligence. Cattle are grazed on mountain pastures in the summer, utilizing rotational and block grazing. Free-choice mineral year-round. In the winter months, cattle are fed top quality grass, chopped hay out on pasture.

Vaccination Protocol includes a Virashield 6 VL5 in the Spring. Calves had a dose of Alpha 7 at Birth, tagged to match their mothers. Registration records on the calves to come following the DNA Testing.

Stockmanship

Stockmanship is a priority at the ranch, with the cow herd handling well and worked regularly on foot, horseback, or with ATVs. The cows are frequently run through the working alley/squeeze chute with the head gates open to desensitize them to the working alleys. This ranch also raises and sells performance ranch horses, and in the summer, the cows are gathered and moved frequently for grazing and stockmanship purposes. With maternal traits that enable them to care for their calves and exceptional dispositions, these cows can be handled often, alone, or in groups.
