Morris Halliburton's British White Cattle
|
|
Our 14 year old donor cow, B&B 113G at
287 days from breeding. She had a really nice Popeye sired 73 pound bull calf 2 days after
this picture was taken. Picture was taken using a telephoto with the cow about 75 to 100
yards away. |
This week's picture comes to you from new
Texas members Al & Dalene Ross. This is their first British White born. She is getting
acquainted with another resident on the farm. The heifer is six days old in the picture. |
This pasture shot was taken in the small
pasture just west of my main barn on 5/7/06. It was a cloudy, warm high humid day. The grass is
abundant and green this time of year.

Low hanging tree leaves make up a good bit of
my British White Cows diet during this time of year. This nice young cow is an Embryo Transfer
sired by the old English bull named Castleton Brendan. I weaned her first calf about 10 days
ago. Picture was taken about 4:30 pm on May 3, 2006. |
Peaches is only three hours old when this
picture was taken on April 10, 2006. Proud owners are new BWCAA members Juanita & John
Moyer from Roaming Shores, Ohio. Their second British White calf, a bull was born on 4/23/06,
his name is "LUCKY THUNDER". To send congratulations and comments to Juanita & John by
email. Click HERE |
This bull calf was born 3/27/06. I believe his red points are stronger than any ever born here at Halliburton Farms. He was walking pretty fast when I snapped this picture, I was between him and mama.

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. |
Grayson County, Texas annual livestock show. Granddaughter Jamie in middle, won senior showmanship and her lamb was a member of best pen of three. The Grayson County show is considered one of the larger shows in Texas, running a full week each year. Students from 14 local towns enter and show 1000+ exhibits each year. Through much hard work & dedication students from our small town of Bells (population 1100) has exhibited the majority of the champions in most recent years. Looks like this year will be another good one, so far, Champion of every Lamb Division, Overall Lamb Champion, Best Pen of 3 lambs, Market Goat Reserve Champion, Duroc Hog Champion, Hamp Hog Champion, OIC Hog Champion and hog show is not complete as of this posting. Heifer, Steers, Rabbits & Chickens still to come. In 2005 Bells students won every Grand and all reserves except one in every division. The ag teacher says it is all because of a four letter word!!!!!!!! WORK |
A nice looking Colonel grandson that just
turned 12 months old on 3/16/06. He looks like he may have the makings of a herd bull prospect.
Picture was taken on 3/24/06. |

This is a brand new ET heifer calf. Sire is Popeye, Dam is B&B 113G.
She weighed a whopping 60 pounds. We had 3 born within a few days, 60, 66 & 74
pounds. All are on heavy milking recip cows so they should grow
fast. |
This is one of our brand new 2006 babies. Spring time is by far the best time of year if you are in the cattle business. Checking the pastures is always fun this time of year. This baby is only a few days old and already wanting to get in your face to see what you are all about. Mama is off to the side telling him to get away and chances are she was doing the same thing at his age.

These pictures were taken in the early
1990's. Crossbred calves out of a Fullblood Chianina cow and a Purebred British White bull. The
red or brown color on the bull eventually turned black, note his black pigment. The heifer has
pink pigment and she never changed color. |

This week's picture comes to you from Australia and thanks goes to
Garry A. Hodgen, Inspector In Charge
(Stock), Dept. Agriculture, 3 Baron-Hay Court South Perth WA 615. |
His color shows the strength of British White
Genetics. His dam is a 13 year old purebred British White cow and his sire is a Fullblood
Lowline Angus that is billed as homozygous black and polled with
65 years of genetic
selection for high quality and small size that makes them breed true. All Fullblood Lowlines must be parentage confirmed by DNA to be
eligible for registration. |
Group picture of the crowd at Gearld Fry's
two day cattleman's school at Halliburton Farms. This was taken on the first day 2/10/06. The
best and most informative school I ever attended.

Our drought is still with us and no rain in
sight. This picture was taken about 10:30 am on 2/8/06. Under normal conditions this cow would
probably have to be swimming to be in the same spot and as you can see the water level is still
several feet below her. Green trees are Cedar and other trees are pecan. |
This week's picture furnished by J West
Cattle of Colmesneil, Texas. Two shots to better show the quality of JWest's El Presidente.
Pictures taken on 1/31/06. El Presidente is a 100% Grassfed British White bull. He was born on
9/29/2004, birth weight was 69 pounds and adjusted 205 weight was 584. Sire is Hi Noon #7802
and dam is Adios #7700. We are hoping to have El Presidente on display at Halliburton Farms
during Gearld Fry's two day seminar on February 10 & 11, 2006. |
