Cows

Quality over Quantity

We don’t have many cows but we try to have the best cows we can own that fit our program. Like our bulls, they need to excel in many traits especially growth and carcass traits. Obviously we ask them to have all the functional maternal traits like fertility, udder quality, fleshing ability etc., but there number one job is to produce highly productive, efficient and high quality Charolais bulls.

DCR MS SILVER LED F136

Registration Number: F1266938
Date of Birth: February 18, 2018
Sire: WCF Mr Silver Gun 467
Dam: DCR Ms Ledger C43

A former #1 TSI female in the Charolais breed and now the dam of a #1 TSI bull and #1 TSI female. When we started looking to add Silver Gun genetics to our program, we naturally went to Doll Charolais Ranch in ND. F136 was our pick of the Silver Gun daughters and we couldn’t be happier. She’s an extremely nice young female, with a tremendous udder, great disposition and doing a phenomenal job with calves. We feel like Doll Charolais Ranch females are one of the best kept secrets in the Charolais breed.  Homozygous Polled and PA Free.

JMAR Ms America 1V08

Registration Number: F1252473
Date of Birth: February 15, 2018
Sire: VPI FREE LUNCH 708T
Dam: LCOC MS AMERICA CP046

1V08 has been outstanding from start.  She was an eye catcher as a calf, a yearling heifer and still is today as a cow.  A tremendous Free Lunch daughter that goes back to the famous B309 cow who is the dam of Smokester, with a lot of great bulls in between.  She manages to maintain a low bw, good growth and tremendous marbling.  She super easy fleshing, lots of milk with a great udder.  We’re exited about the future of this tremendous young female.
