The Thorne Ranch Cow Herd Our
cow herd consists of 350 head of top females. We register the progeny
in the Maine Anjou Association, Angus Association, Simmental Association and
the Braunvieh Association. The cow herd is divided up in three groups,
Donors, AI Cows and Recipients. The recipient cows are also producers
of high quality calves when cleaned up with our various herd sires. We
have added more Maine genetics over the years as they cross well with our
other breeds. We have a rough estimate of 100 Maine & Maintainer Cows
and 100 Fullblood/Purebred Braunvieh cows and 100 Angus Cross cows.
We retain all our own replacements and offer a few for sale each year.
We believe in producing
the highest quality female possible. The female is the base for any
good herd and the great bulls and show steers will follow if you produce maternal
females. Dad always said produce females that are feminine and
bulls that are masculine and you will consistently produce fertile cattle.
That can go onto reproduce consistent performance genetics.
Our
intense Artificial Breeding and Embryo program contributes to the high
quality animals that we and the industry requires. All cattle are
raised in a natural setting. We don't use hot shots, four wheelers or
cowboy our cattle. All our cattle are gentle and will follow you
anywhere with a feed bucket! That's important to us and we know our
customers appreciate the great dispositions of our cattle.
-
We raise cattle like we would like to buy
for ourselves..
-
If they won't perform for us they aren't
good enough for our customers either!
-
Our repeat customers can testify
to their productivity.
