A cold front comes tomorrow to drop temperatures significantly. Oh but how I love the calm before the storm…
Weanlings Doing Great!
The latest 6 registered Polled Hereford weanlings are doing quite well. We fence-line wean to keep their dams close by during the initial weaning process. This eases the stress for both calf and dam.
But they’re now ready for us to move their dams a little further away. Next week the calves will receive their boosters and be ready to be listed for sale. Be watching!
New Calf Born At TMR!
10-18-18
Dam #334 presented us with a fine, chunky 89-lb bull calf this morning. As always with our calving-ease bull she delivered him just fine all on her own.
He’s nice & dark with pigment around both eyes – two features we always strive for. Gorgeous!
Welcome to the ranch, big boy!
Heifer sold as a show calf
This pretty heifer is headed to east Texas. She was sold this morning to a young lady who will raise her to show.
Goodbye sweet girl, make us proud!
All Grown Up!
Awwww… This beautiful girl is all grown up! Today we moved her out of the yearling pen & placed her into the herd with our herd sire. She’s gorgeous and we wanted to retain her to keep her dam’s genetics in our herd. Can’t wait to see her calves!
Heard-Health Checkup
It’s oftentimes difficult to work calves. Especially weaning calves. I mean, they’ve been separated from their dams and suddenly their whole world has changed. They might not trust anything or anyone.
But thankfully our calves know that we are careful caregivers and they do not fear us. We worked them without giving them stress at all, they even exited the chute calmly and at a un-frightened pace. Gotta love it!
This registered polled Hereford heifer and commercial Hereford bull will be available in 3 weeks after they’ve received their boosters. Be watching!
In the meantime, check out our current offerings.
Ready To Go!
This heifer got an all-expense paid trip to the vet today to get her big-girl bling.

Now she’s ready to go!
Weaning a Young Heifer
We brought a young heifer up to wean. She’s so beautiful! She’s been given both her initial immunization as well as her booster shots too. Soon she’ll be ready to be listed for sale.
