Have you ever asked or wondered if a red pointed British White will always have red pointed offspring? Does this cow and her calf answer that question. Picture submitted by Eric & Kelly Popp, British White members from Howe, Texas.

This week's picture is furnished by a lovely, kind and gentle East Texas Cattle Woman. It is a picture of her number one herd bull, "King Cole", he has style and performance written all over him and it is proven in her herd. You can also buy some of his genetics, currently for sale on THIS WEB PAGE and THIS WEB PAGE.  I know you will immediately recognize who this nice lady is just from the description but just in case someone new sees this. We call her Jimmie West owner & operator of JWest Cattle Company, Colmesneil, Texas.

Buddy

Are your British Whites house broke? Buddy was a bit premature and only weighed about 18 pounds when he first visited this old cruel World. But as you can tell it didn't take long for him to learn that some parts of the World are not so cruel. Thanks to lots of TLC, Marina reports that buddy is well and doing fine. This weeks picture furnished by John & Marina Ney, Jr. from Burdett, NY. They also have a few nice British White fullblood yearling heifers for sale, see the beef-cattle classifieds or click here to email them. Be sure to ask about Buddy.

‘kissin’ cousins’

They pal around together all the time – just 13 days difference in ages (the larger of the 2 - the bull on the left -  is the younger).  DOB = Daisy 3/20/2005 & Dozer 4/2/2005. Picture furnished by Eric & Kelly Popp, BWCAA members from Howe, Texas.

This is Rose showing Molly at the Galveston County, Texas Fair last week. Molly is 23 months old and heavy bred.  Rose showed her last year at this same fair. Two old pros. Picture furnished by Brenda Buffington.

This is one of the most professional photos I have ever seen of a British White cow and her calf. It could even pass for a painting. It is from Derek Andrus with the following comment.  Newest addition to the Andrus Livestock herd. Bull calf, born April 3 in Skull Valley, Utah.

A couple days ago this scene was visible from the den window of our home so I decided to take a picture. The creek is about 10 or 12 feet deep, seldom has much water due to a dam about 200 feet upstream from where this picture was taken (the bright area to left). Before I took the picture I could count 14 cows & calves plus one cat. The picture makes me doubt my counting ability because I can't find the 14 cows & calves in picture. Anyway it is a nice spring picture and I doubt that the animals stress level is very high.

Picture of my billboard at work on 4/12/05.

Have you ever considered the value of your roadside pasture as an advertising tool? Notice the tail end of the gravel hauler on the right, there are at least 200 or more loads of gravel hauled by here each day. These drivers are from all parts of North Texas and every last one of them can tell you where to find a few white cattle with black ears. I have even had a phone call about suspicious activity at one of my buildings before the guilty party even got started. Neighbors and friends helping neighbors and friends, it gives you a good feeling.

Heather and Daisy at the Wylie, Texas stock show on April 2, 2005.
Two beautiful young ladies at their best. Picture quality suffers a bit due to the open end of show barn facing the East with the bright morning sun.

This little bull is 3/4 British White and 1/4 Hereford. Some of his Hereford genetics seem to be showing on his muzzle and around his eyes. One white eyelash and one black eyelash. This one will not get registered but he has been so much fun he has been named "Clown"

A nice young heifer baby just hours old in picture. Was very curious as to that gadget I had in my hands. Sire is Halliburton High Dollar and Dam is Halliburton 20L Connie. This is one we'll be watching as she develops.


 

17 March 2005

This picture was taken on 3/16/05. The calf is a new bull that is half brother to the one in last week's picture. Sired by my bull Rito and his dam is a twin sister to the dam in last week's picture. This calf was born on 3/13/05 and last week's calf was born on 3/9/05.

This picture taken just after sunrise on 3/9/05. The bull calf is just a few hours old, sired by my American Fullblood Bull, Rito. I have a heifer that is a full sister to him that some have called the best female on the farm. Maybe he will grow into a herd bull someday.















































 

Top picture is Halliburton Daisy, shown by Heather Pugh at the halter. Heather's dad, Butch is showing the results of the excellent job by Heather & Daisy. Daisy was the only British White heifer at the show so they put her in the ORB (Other Registered Breeds Division). Butch is holding the blue first place ribbon, purple ORB breed champion banner and clear plexi glass trophy just above the purple banner. Daisy is sired by the English Bull, Woodbastwick Randolph Turpin. Many thanks to Heather & Daisy, we look forward to seeing you two in many more shows.

Bottom Picture is Halliburton Bud, an Embryo Transfer Steer, shown by Adam Thomas at the halter. Adam's dad, Wayne is on left behind Bud and his mother, Annette is second from left in back. Bud was 15 months plus 6 days of age when shown. They were hoping to get him at the top end of the medium weight class but wound up at the bottom of the heavy weight class. Bud's show weight was 1285 pounds. Bud was 4th in his class and the judge really liked his finish, I believe his exact words were, this steer has the best finish of any I have felt of today. Bud placed high up in the sale order and Adam enjoyed a nice profit on his project. Adam and Bud deserve many thanks for representing the British White breed so well. Bud is sired by the English Bull, Castleton Brendan.

We don't always get the calf we are looking for! Sire of these four calves is De Beauvoir Huckleberry Finn, middle right. Dam of two top calves is Halliburton 27L Showgirl, top left. Dam of two bottom calves is G&G NG 13, bottom left. Calves are Embryo Transfer calves. The embryos were all put in recipient cows on same day and the calves were born, 2 on 29 January 2005 and 2 on 31 January 2005. The G&G cow was over 19 years old when flushed and the Showgirl cow was just over 3 years old when flushed, she is a natural born daughter of a pasture mate to NG13, also an older cow named G&G Showgirl.

Adam Thomas from Plano, Texas leading his American Purebred British White Steer in the European Crossbred Class of the Steer Show at the Fort Worth, Texas 2005 Stock Show, probably the only purebred of any breed in the group, most are probably at least three breed crosses and black. If you had been in the stands which steer would you remember?

Pictures were taken 2/2/05 at 2:30 pm. We hope your sacrifice paddock is in better shape than ours. The baby heifer calf was born 1/31/05 and has not had a chance to dry off. This is an ET calf and we had 4 born about the same time, full and have sibs. The other 3 are heavily overmarked and only 1 bull in the group. Yes I like to play with my graphics software program. But really wanted to show you our winter conditions and couldn't resist showing off my new baby.
