Thank you to Dave Steen Commercial
Marketing Director of the American Maine Anjou Association for your
dedication in this contest. If we breeders are going to able to sell
bulls we need tests like this to accumulate as much data as possible for
the BEEF Industry as a whole. We are not just raising show cattle at
our ranch! We want to know what is under that pretty hide too!

2nd Place
Braunvieh Class Winner at the Tulsa State Fair. Sired by DJ
Dictator and out of a Black Icon daughter this pretty fronted guy
was also shown at OK City. He was not quite ready at OK City
so they decided to hold him until Tulsa. Jessica did a
nice job of feeding him and a great job of showing him too!
She can show our cattle anytime! Thanks Stephens Family!
Both steer had to compete in the AOB
Division in the final Division. To have a breed we need at least 10 head of
Braunvieh steers to participate. We hope to accomplish that someday with the
help from great kids and families!

Thorne Ranch at the 2007 Tulsa State Fair!
31 Head of Maintainer Cattle and 50
Head of Fullblood/Purebred Braunvieh Cattle and 28 Head of Beef Builder Braunvieh Cattle
showed up to be evaluated on September 29 and September 30th at the
Oklahoma Ford Dealers Barn.
Maintainer Heifer Show and the Beef Builder Braunvieh Heifer Show
 |
Thorne Ranch took 18 head of Beef
Builder Braunvieh and Maintainers to Tulsa this year. This is
the first year that we were able to show both classes of cattle.
Most of our cattle are double registered Maine Anjou and Beef
Builder/Percentage Braunvieh. We
exhibited 12 head of Beef Builders on Saturday September 29 and 10
Head of Maintainers on Sunday afternoon September 30! It was two
days of marathon showing! But we survived and the cattle all
performed flawlessly. All our hard work in preparation was
well worth it! It's kind of like taking the kindergarten class
on a field trip. You never know what will happen!
|
We had three Division winners
in the Maintainer Final Heifer Drive. We were fortunate to have
the Grand Champion Maintainer Heifer TLCC Heart of Gold shown
for us by Roger McDowall. (Fourth heifer) TLCC Cowboy's Cowgirl
was clear left in the picture and shown by Roxane Gebhart. TLCC Tracinda clear right in the picture was shown by Dana Shrum.
2nd heifer was DRCC Miss Samantha shown by Mike Runner she was
selected Reserve Grand Champion Maintainer Heifer. Rashele
Blakley showed DRCC Miss Sherry to Class 6 Division Champion.
