Thanks to Jimmie West for this weeks picture.
A really nice calf, I think it is by JWest's King Cole. Spends her time walking the cattle
guard to get in the yard to her favorite Live Oak tree. A really nice calf.

This picture was taken late in afternoon on
1/4/06. Two young bulls trying to sort out who is going to be the boss. Neither seem to be very
serious about it.

A really nice 3/4 heifer. I believe she will
make an excellent cow. She is 2 days short of one year old in picture. She is very inquisitive
and not at all shy about getting close enough to really look you and your camera over with a
keen eye. This is not a telephoto. I was sitting on the ground inviting her in for a closer
look.

This picture was taken on 12/21/05 about 3:30
pm. The pond in background when totally full usually covers about 2+ acres and now is barely a
large puddle. Our part of Texas is in probably the most severe drought in our history for this
time of year. Our last decent rainfall was July 4 & 5. Most all the large ponds are 8 to 10
foot below normal and the smaller ones are all dried up.

Since it is winter time and I didn't get
around to taking a current picture I dug this out of the archives. It was taken January 1,
2001. Those of you that came to our Show & Meeting in October 2005 may remember this area.
It is just South of the pens where the older bulls were penned. Thanks to the ice storm several
of the trees are totally gone.

Picture removed. We do not want to offend
anyone and the breeder that sent picture for me to use as a POW recently requested one of her
pictures be removed from another breederr's website and that is against my policy to
encourage FREE use of any pictures on my website for the purpose of promoting British White
Cattle.

Bull calf is same one that was in last weeks
picture shown with his dam this week. Cow is a half sister to Popeye, a really nice size cow,
about 1050 to 1100 pounds as she stands and 9+ years old. We think she will make a good donor
cow, scheduled for her first flush in December. Picture taken 11/23/05 about 3:30
PM.

This nice bull calf is a result of JWest
Cattle breeding. He is 79 days old in this picture and the cow is not his mom?? He is much too
young to be for sale but Jimmie has a few older bulls that are. See them on her
website:CLICK HERE

A nice embryo transfer heifer calf with her
surrogate mom. A scene like this adds a little different color to your British White pasture
but embryo transfer sure helps produce a few more British White calves quicker than
conventional breeding. This one was produced with help from Mike Myers Reproduction Services

This nice heifer was bred by Jimmie West at
Colmesneil, Texas. She is a product of a half brother-half sister mating, her sire & dam
were both sired by Halliburton Colonel. A pretty fancy little lady that has the makings of a
great cow. A really good representative of the British White breed. 5 months old in
picture.
