Sold As Red Tag 108 in the 2007 Spring
Fling to Fussnecker Farms in Georgetown, OH. He was a Dr. Who x
Heatseeker 108. This is a full sib to the 2007 Reserve Champion
Chianina Heifer in the B.E.S.T. program shown by Dwight Hamilton (pictured
below). The steer
pictured was shown very successfully and was selected out of over 200 calves
Grand Champion of the Brown County Open Show. The calf was resold for
over $2000 profit. We love these kind of success stories! By the
way, the 108 cow is bred the same way and due with a bull calf in February!
See you at the spring sale again this year!
Dr. Who x Heatseeker 108. This
heifer was bought in our 2006 pasture sale and was shown successfully in the
2007 show season by Dwight Hamilton. She was the Reserve Champion
Chianina Heifer in the Ohio B.E.S.T. program in '07. At one point,
Dwight turned down a large profit on this heifer in order to keep her for
his growing herd at Hamilton Farms. Congratulations Dwight and look
for offspring from this heifer in one of our upcoming spring sales!
Blue Tag 56. This was the high
selling steer calf in our 2007 pasture sale. He was sold to Bruce Egbert (Botkins,
Ohio). Bruce sold this steer for a profit and he is currently
being shown in the Southern U.S. We love when people can profit off of
purchases from our sales!
This Manchild heifer was the No Tag in
last year's pasture sale. She was shucking hair at the time of the
sale and I mentioned her to most people that came through the pasture
that I thought she would be a really good one later on. The great
eyes of Brad Hook and Bruce Egbert saw her and loved her gentle
disposition and picked her off with one bid. She won her class
last month at the Ohio AGR in the crossbred division and was second in
class at the Scarlet and Gray. Her best days are still ahead of
her, and I'm sure I'll have to update this one soon!
