Animals for sale
For the past 5 years we have been culling
very extensively.
We are doing this to reach the goal that are animals have the best beef
traits possible, while still maintaining the "Traditional" style
we prefer.
We have been culling for:
Good strong back-lines; The best cuts are along the back, so your
animals must have this trait.
All other traits that a good beef animal requires:
Good width & length.
Easy breeding; If a cow doesn't breed easily every time
she isn't worth keeping.
Easy calving; Highlands seem to have this trait down on their own.
27 years of Highland breeding & we have only pulled 1 calf.
No crop ear;
We are 1 of the few farms that look at this as a trait that
can be culled & still maintain the traits we desire.
At this time we have the following animals
available:
6 - outstanding 2 1/2 - 3 year old
heifers
(Some bred)
4 - heifers that are 1 - 1 3/4 year old
5 - 3/4 - 1 year
old heifers
We are very proud of all of these
heifers & know they would make a great addition to anyone's herd.
All but 2 of these heifers are
out of our current herd sire Sunset
Jeremiah.
Jeremiah is a son of Gusgurlach of Windrush who is owned by the Murray's of Sunset
Farm, Ashton, Ontario, Canada. They have been very successful in showing
Gus's offspring.
Jeremiah's offspring are mainly Dark red in color with some Brindle,
Yellow & 2 Black.
A couple of our yearling
& 2 year old heifers would compete very well in the show ring!!!
Locustbrae's
Ban Righ Geamhradh
(Ban Ree Gyav'ra ...Winter Queen)
We also have some very good bull calves at this
time with the best being:
Chailein
Riabhach of
Locustbrae
(Hhal'inn Ree'aah - Brindled Colin)
(a brindle son of Locustbrae's Butcher Billy who is a son of Sunset Jeremiah.)
Chailein looks like a very good show prospect with "Traditional looks
& good growth".
He looks very much like his Grand dad at this age.
&
Locustbrae's
Donnachadh
(Dohn'a'hha - Duncan, Brown Chief)
(a dun son of Locustbrae's Butcher Billy.
Donnachadh has shown incredible growth & has great width.)
We also have 2 son's off Jeremiah that look very good.
1 Red Locustbrae's Craig Ruadh
1 black Locustbrae's Ardan Dubh
We do offer any of our cattle in the herd for sale.
Prices vary depending on the quality of the
animal you are interested in.
If you look at the Dams, Heifers,
& Bull Calves pages you will
see what cattle we have on the farm at this time.
We know that every animal must be for sale.
Some just will be a higher
price as we would like to use them in our own breeding program before we
offer them for sale;
but if you want them they are available.
We will give price breaks if
more than one animal is bought at a time. We are always looking for the bull that
will bring us closer to our goals. |
