An extremely stout female whose maternal sister sold to Nicole Booth this fall. The service sire is a Lazy MC Smash son who is known for the females he is leaving behind. Wallop was bred by Gold-Bar in Ontario. This heifer is a red carrier so there is a 50% chance of a red calf!
SAV Wall Street service sire to 5W
Worth-a-Bit Licorice 5W Jan 1/09
Safe in calf to SAV Wall Street due early January
Touchdown has produced some great females for us and 5W is no exception (the picture does not do her justice). This heifer is out of the grandmother of the heifer above. The Licorice cow family comes from the Black Velvet family which is our best line.
Wall Street is an exciting new sire from the proven herd of SAV and we are really looking forward to his calves.
