This handsome young fellow is one of my American Fullbloods
that looks like he is going to have a lot of what we are looking for in
our cow herd. He is 5 1/2 months old in the picture. How about that winter
hair coat and in sunny Texas?

She's just a yearling and already over 1,000 pounds. One of our bigger
yearling heifers. Sired by our American Fullblood bull, Rito. A recent
cattleman was visiting and she really caught his eye, in fact he said she
was the best looking British White he had ever seen. This picture was
taken on January 19, 2005 about 4:30pm.

This cow is half British White and half Tuli with a nice 3/4 heifer calf
sired by Hallliburton Explorer. Calf is 10 days old in picture, a
nice warm 70 degree day in January 2005.

This nice group of bred heifers were photographed on December 29, 2004.
All are bred for a short calving season to start about February 15, 2005
and end about March 10, 2005. Heifers are owned by Joe Bigbee. Joe invited
me to come by for a pasture tour during the holidays and I couldn't resist
taking my camera along.

Something I found on Christmas eve. Sure enough, it's in my neighbor's
Registered Black Angus pasture. A pretty nice heifer if not graded off for
color and only six days old in picture. There are also A.I. stories to be
told about this calf but I'll just say I was the technician and it was my
only success. Calf belongs to Bill & Betty Stone, talk to Bill for the rest of the story.

This picture was taken yesterday about 2:30pm. It is unusual for us to
have snow this time of year but the cattle seem to be enjoying it. Tree
limbs are weighted down but they are still after their snack food in the
tubs.

Thanks to Jimmie West for helping get the word out on British White cattle. The
above ad is being run in a Southeast Texas Newspaper. Can you imagine the
positive results for British White Cattle if everyone consistently ran an ad
like this in their area?

This calf bred by Jimmie West. He is a typical example
of the quality of the many animals she currently has for sale. |

Three weaning age heifers produced by Artificial Insemination from
imported semen. Back Northwest corner of Morris & Jean's house in
background. Picture taken early morning on 24 October 2004.
Morris does his own heat detection and A.I. work and has for 20+ years.
Some folks might say he must have got lucky this time because those
heifers all look to be about the same age. It's really easy though when
you have the right timing with a good technician using good semen. All
three of these heifers have had both sire & dam parentage confirmed by DNA
testing. |

No it's not a British White but we are a bit proud of Jamie
and her Lamb. Second time shown this year.

A young really high performance bull calf from the UK
provided by Nell Matheson.
The bull is called Silvanus (by Rockley Caesar out of Dadley
Sachertorte). He was born 26th February 2004 and weighed 345kg (760
pounds) when weighed near the end of September 2004. Talk about weaning
performance, at 760 pounds actual weaning weight in USA terms he would
have a 205 ratio of at least 125 in most herds.

An Awesome Performance At The 2004 Texas State Fair
Daisy & Heather - Heather & Daisy
Standing at
attention in the middle of a very large show ring all by themselves while
the announcer in a very clear and loud voice, with loud speakers
strategically placed in all the cattle barns and around the State Fair
Grounds, was making a great spiel about British White Cattle and how this
was the first time a British White had ever been shown at the Great Texas
State Fair.

A really nice looking group ...............of cows.
Steve Montgomery's pasture near Guthrie, Oklahoma during BWCAA annual
meeting days. Why do the cows on the other side of the fence always look
better? My question. My wife's answer. Did you see how much feed Steve
gave that one animal at his house for the morning feed, maybe it's the
size of your feed bucket.
