Pleasant Ridge Fireman Sophia Ex93. Bred and owned with team Mosser.
Sophia's story started in 2009 when I was delivering a breeder bull to a farm near nappanee when I noticed these two cows in his lot. I tried to get a price on the cows but he wouldn't put one on them. So I called Ronnie Mosser and asked and if he would be willing to part with a couple springers so I put a deal together to trade five head for these two cows. That was the start of the Jess family and the Sophia family. Both cow families have produced several State Fair class winners as well as Grand champions of our State Fair. It was a great honor to see Ronnie get to lead firemen Sophia the past couple years as she was reserved Grand champion in 2024 and then this year she was grand and supreme champion of the junior show at the State Fair as well as grand in the open show and reserve supreme champion. She went on to Kentucky State Fair and was reserved Grand champion. We took her down to the All-American where she stood fourth in the junior show and six in the open show but most importantly to us she was Best Bred and Owned ❤️
I know how proud Ronnie was of breeding great cows and it was very humbling to be able to share this with him one last time, even if he wasn't standing in the ring. We look forward to continuing to develop these two cow families.
