Let's have some fun!

I am in serious need of some registration name suggestions for this bull calf.

Barn name "Retrograde"

I think it would he fun to include the barn name somewhere in the registered name, but I am also open to not including it.

Born May 27, 2026

Must haves: HGR_ in the beginning.

Sire: Startex (WS Jamakizm×Texanas Garland Gal)

Dam: OL Wait On Me (OL Highout×OL Waitara)

I like witty, sassy, play on phrases for names! The more creative the better! Raunchy ideas welcome!

This is a big calf, with big presence, and a big future!

His full sister is HGR Worth The Wait, and my best calf out of the 2025 calving season.

Even the bulls need snuggles sometimes. To say we are smitten with this guy would be the ultimate understatement for the day.

Brown Swiss cow plus Texas Longhorn bull equals perfection.

Tulip is my husband's choice of heifer replacers from the previous calving season, and she has matured beautifully. She's bred to our newest Texas Longhorn bull addition, and I think is going to bring a powerful combination of maternal capability and meat quality to the table for the butcher production side of our program with her get.

Farm life has a way of consuming every spare minute. There is always someone who needs to be fed, watered, medicated, handled, checked over, or seen by the vet. Hours each day are devoted to making sure every animal's needs are met.

But in those little moments in between? They need love, too. A lot of them need snuggles.

Two months ago, I was convinced this heifer calf would be sold once show season came to an end. She simply hadn't reached the milestones I had envisioned for my replacement heifers. If you know me, you know I have incredibly high standards for the females I choose to keep in our program.

She's taken after her dam, who has since found a wonderful new home, in more ways than one. She's a little finer made, a little lighter horned, and definitely more of a late bloomer.

But here's the thing... just because she didn't meet those milestones on my timeline doesn't mean she wasn't growing into exactly who she was meant to become.

Over the last couple of months, she's quietly become one of the kindest calves on our trailer. And that's saying something, because this year's group is full of genuinely gentle, patient cattle.

Sometimes growth isn't loud. Sometimes it doesn't happen on the schedule we expect. Sometimes the greatest qualities can't be measured by horn length or size at all.

So, for now, "Sunflower" is staying.

She'll spend this season paired with one of our youngest showmen as they both begin their very first year in the ring together. They'll learn alongside one another, build confidence together, and, most importantly, have fun together.

I have a feeling they're both going to grow into something pretty special.

And sometimes....these cows are beyond silly.

"Nebula" is full of personality, and has the looks to go with it. There is no such thing as boredom when he is within proximity!

Currently being retained for his show season.
