Sires, Donors, Semen, & Embryos

Our breeding program is really developed around using AI and embryo transfer but we use some of our developing bulls on certain breedings for testing of our genetics and as a backup. We have been very careful in the selection of sires and our donors and use Dr. Charles Hannon DVM. of Donor Solutions for our flushing . Our embryos are grade 1 and frozen but we can accommodate you with direct transfer or pregnancies if you wish. We do multiple and single sire breedings from the Angus Braunvieh,  and Maine breeds.

Donors

The emphasis of our herd, as it should be in any herd is in cow power. Great cows make great calves that develop into great bulls & heifers. We breed for strong maternal traits, docility, and eye appeal. From the very best we select for our donor program. It has taken us several years in selection and breeding to get to this point and we use part of our herd and contracted dams as recipients. We see embryo transfer as a excellent tool to develop top genetics in high numbers to create entire herds and as a tool to lower the cost to customers of acquiring animals.

MIF Grace                     Grace is a very maternal dam with a good udder and a daughter of our matriarch dam SC Emmy and Elvis and greatly resembles her mother. She had a 82 lb BW and carries a BW EPD of -1.9  She was Reserve Grand Champion at the KC Royal and several class winners in '08 and Grand Champion cow/calf pair at the World Beef Expo in '09.

MIF Chloe                     Chloe is also a daughter of SC Emmy and TLC Bud. She is very maternal, yet thick and correct like most Bud daughters and had a BW of 82 lbs and a BW EPD of .5

MIF Mary Agnes        An embryo mate to Chloe, Mary Agnes is another example of quality in the Bud daughters and more refined than Chloe. She was the champion breed heifer in the '08 Farm World Beef Expo, Reserve Grand Champion Heifer in the '09 World Beef Expo, and class winner in the '09 NAILE. She had a BW of 65 lbs and a BW EPD of .5

SC Emmy                     This is where it started. Emmy has been the foundation to our fullblood Braunvieh program. She is just an excellent example of a maternal dam that can pass on all the traits we want. She is no longer in service but was the baseline we used to develop our sires and dams to our program and a tribute to the breed.

TLC Bud's Bess         Bess is a Pure bred Braunvieh that atypically throws dark to black offspring and generally black and polled daughters. We have sold several heifers out of her and all of her offspring are very docile and thick.

EVF Kruger Trend       "Sweety" as we called her, was a powerfull and thick individual with great milk and growth traits. She only threw one daughter for us but some tremendous sons. She had a very successful career as a show heifer and we currently have a few embryos from her and a mating of TLC Ike in recips and just a few embryos left. She is no longer in the herd.

Craft New Design 1407-208
                                                 
"Kattie" is an example of best in Angus genetics. Very maternal, excellent udder, and eye appeal. A daughter of Bon View New Design and Ms Battle Cry she has produced some excellent sons and daughters for us and is now entering our donor program.

Craft 1407-208 (Katie)  x  TLC Ali's Vincent (Vinny)
This mating is a 3-way cross of Angus, Braunvieh, & Maine. The donor is a daughter of Bon View New Design and Battle Cry, ranked high in the Angus breed and has a lot maternal traits and eye appeal. The sire is a son of the famous Ali and Starline Veronica a spectacular Braunvieh dam.

MIF Grace Lynn  x Silverwood Dragon
This is absolutely top fullblood genetics in the Braunvieh breed. Our MIF Memphis is of this same match up and we have several others on the ground proving their performance. If your looking for your next fullblood heifer or bull here's your chance to own the best.

MIF Grace Lynn  x Sting/Uree *
This a multiple sire mating once again with Grace and a primary sire of Sting, a Chi, Maine, Simmy, Angus crossed bull. He is a Heat Wave son out of a Full Flush x Meyer dam. This mating should produce an amazing combination of thickness, mass, & class.
The secondary sire is Uree, a fullblood Braunvieh that would compliment Grace in Braunvieh genetics.

Bud's Bess  x TLC Turk
This is Bess is a dark Braunvieh dam who generally produces top quality black or near black and polled heifers. Our MIF Jayden is an example - thick, black, & hairy. Turk is well proven as a leader in south western shows and pastures and has a lot of top heifers. This mating is suitable for  show ring contenders and excellent F-1 dams.

MIF Chloe  x Turk/Dager *
Another multiple sire mating with Chloe, a really thick Braunvieh heifer that we really like. So much that we held her to flush rather than breed to calve. Bred to Turk the primary sire which should give us really thick and structurally correct calves.
The secondary sire is Dager another Bud son for fullblood Braunvieh calves.

MIF Chloe  x  Gucci/Mr. Surpreme *
Another multiple sire mating with Chloe and Gucci an up coming Purebred Maine offering calving ease and hair. This should also give really thick and structurally sound calves.
The secondary sire is Mr. Supreme who produces some very classy fullblood Braunvieh calves.

EVF Kruger Trend  x TLC Ike
"Sweety" as we like to call her is a black registered Angus that is as thick as it comes. She has traditionally produced bull calves and we crossed her with Ike, a polled and black Braunvieh. We have had these calves on the ground several times and they are always very stout and thick calves. We currently have several of these embryos in recip dams for April this year and we only have just a couple of these embryos left.

*We have used totally different sire types to distinguish calves from one sire to the other and to develop more than one type of progeny. This process is not uncommon in natural breeding and having a totally different cleanup bull. In most cases the primary bull will sire all the offspring.
