Morris Halliburton's British White Cattle
|
|
Also 21 September
2006 |
Where I've been the last three days, Sept 18,
19 & 20. I was in great company. This picture was taken on 9/18/2006. Can you find the two
BWCAA members in the front row? A small hint!- One is young and beautiful, the other is an Old
Gray Headed Gentleman. Several of these folks are now well acquainted with British White
Cattle. |

This picture was taken just before sundown on
9/5/06, calf was about 36 hours old. The heifer calf is an ET out of a Popeye sister name Wilma
and sired by Woodbastwick Premium Bond. Premium Bond is an old English bull that I think was
popular in the 1970's time frame. The semen was in glass ampules. The cow is one I bred and
sold many years ago but was fortunate to be able to reacquire her. I have one more ET calf due
anytime from the same flush. |
This nice heifer is owned by Todd Smith,
Henderson, Texas and he has two older full sisters to her. These three females are just about
as good as they come. What a cow family to start a herd with but try talking him out of them.
Sire is Kaptain (High gaining bull on Kilgore College bull test a few years ago, now deceased)
and dam is a common good little old cow named Princess 37L. Princess is really doing a good job
of raising her calf in an extreme drought condition, those are unpalatable weeds at top of
picture. The heifer is standing in the good grass area. She heifer is about 5 months old in
picture. |
Would you like to have a pasture full of cows
that look like this in the middle of summer on just grass. This entire herd of British White
Cattle survives on a diet of 100% pasture plus only Alfalfa Hay as a winter supplement if
needed. This picture was taken on August 18, 2006 in the JWest Cattle Co. pasture in deep East
Texas. The good part is that this pair is not an isolated case, see pictures of many more
equally as good or better at these web pages. |

Todd's message with this picture was, "Use this to show off the disposition of our British White Breed of Cattle," and it does that well. Notice the whole herd is milling around them and not a one seems excited. You might also notice they are not enticed by a feed bucket. Yes, "No Feed Bucket" and Todd owns a full service East Texas Tri-County Feed Store on US Highway 79 South of Henderson. You be the judge though! Is Todd really
showing off the British Whites disposition or his new 7 month old son? |
Lenny Pelc sends us this weeks picture from
Strasburg, Colorado. A really nice looking heifer, congratulations to Jordan on a job well
done. I believe this was at the 2006 Arapaho County fair in July 2006.

Rose Buffington and her heifer at the Polk
County Fair, Southeast Texas. Looks like the judge is really looking her over. Rose has been
showing her British White Heifers long enough that this is a second generation heifer out of a
previous show heifer. |
This picture comes from Janet Woods,
Farmersville, Texas. Notice the excellent conformation of the cow, nicknamed "Blue" and Janet
says she always passes it on to her calves. The thing that makes this special to Janet is the
new calf, it is Blue's first ever heifer after several bulls in a row. This is another dry spot
in Texas. |

Been looking through my old pictures to see
if the grass was ever green this time of year. That blue trailer is a dead give-a-way to those
of you that have known me a while. This picture is 6 years ago, really looks like a good year
for grass. Our weather forecasters are telling us that May & June 2006 will go down in the
record books with the least recorded rainfall ever for these two months. Sounds real promising,
no rain for two months and we are just starting our dry season. |
This young bull answers to the name of Trophy Farm Fritz and he just found a new home at Halliburton Farms. I invite you to join me as we watch him develop. He is very tightly linebred from a father/daughter mating. His sire Dublin has a pedigree with animals like, MS NOY 4F & Royal Pride on the bottom side. TR Regis Rocco, TR Regis Rush and TR Woodbastwick Regis II on the top side. He is just a baby now and time will tell.

What a nice pair of cattle, a good looking
standard marked British White calf out of a solid black dam. It happens a majority of the time.
This week's picture sent in by Eric & Kelly Popp, many thanks for sharing your your common
miracle. |
This picture was taken
about this time in 2003. It proves that we have had green grass this time of year. Sure not so
this year. |
