Pistol Annie has earned her first ASA Performance Dam Award 👏🏼

I'm pretty proud of this goofball. More times than not, she brings in the largest calf of the whole herd (including the commercial herd) and her daughter, SAS Miss Boujee, is following in her hoof-steps as she brought in the largest weaning calf of the whole first calf heifer group.

Well, great observation!

My husband and I also run commercial cattle.

Almost 14 years ago when JC and I first met, JC and his father had commercial cattle that were mainly Angus influenced. And the amount of cows I had? A big fat 0.

After our relationship grew stronger and I started to help out more, I bought a heifer off of JC. (Some of you guys know her as Jazzy.)

Then one day, I see a FB post for some shorthorn heifers and I thought, "holy s**t, I want one of those!"

And boom. The rest was history. I was hooked.

I've been raising Shorthorns for almost a decade since that first heifer now. JC's father has since passed before I really got into this breed, and we took over his commercial herd.

JC has this thing for black white faced cattle 🙄 and I can't seem to convince him to come to the dark side of the roans 🤪

Sooooooo I run my shorthorns with the commercial herd.

"But some of those commercial cows have pink tags 🤔."

Good eye. I also own some commercial cows! Surprise!

Yes I put my shorthorn bulls on those commercial cows. I run my seedstock right along the commercial stock. Why? Because I'm not raising pampered shorthorns. These pretty girls aren't just flashy, they work too! They're expected to run like they should: raise a calf and breed back without skipping a beat.

Just because they're registered, doesn't mean they get special attention. 😉

If you've made it this far on my long post, bless you.

But now you know why you'll see some black cows (ew) in the background on this page 🤪

This time of year is pretty "slow" for the cow herd. The ladies are kid-free, and just enjoying the last month or so of the green grass until the frost hits.

We start calving in February, so we're just a few months away from seeing cute, new lil faces in the grass 😍

The Farm Truck

She may not be the prettiest, but she's a work hog and gets the job done. We all have one that has spend most of it's life on the farm, and she'll be here until the wheels fall off.

Me: "Don't be weird at this event."

My brain: "Give strangers unnecessary information about bull semen."

"Oh you're taking my picture? Let me make a face" 🤪
