Photo taken October 2023. Melita Rose M164 is definitely one of my favourite cows. Every time I walk into her field I am drawn to her. In 2021 she had a bull calf which was stacked with potential, but unfortunately we lost him with a twisted gut at 5 months old. In 2022 she produced us our best heifer calf, and her 2023 heifer is much the same. M164 has tremendous breeding from her sire Crooked Post Stockman and the great Waukaru Patent's mother Waukaru 12H Melita Rose, a perfect blend of Canadian and US proven genetics. I always say that anything is for sale at our farm, at the right price. I just hope that no one comes along and makes me an offer I cannot refuse!
Myostatin Status: Zero
Photo taken October 2023. Melody F038 is our oldest cow and one which I hope spends all our days with us. She is probably our smallest cow but is definitely our best producer across the board. She has proven her mothering ability and now achieved a classification of EX92. She always does a great job on her calves and has added our herd great heifer calves in 2020 and
2021. In 2022 she produced us one of our two best bull calves. In 2023 she was first to calve and gave us another heifer, what more could we ask of her? F038 has a very quiet temperament and follows her mother's and grandmother's traits 100%, what a family line!
Myostatin Status: Zero
Photo taken October 2023. Melita Rose S43 is certainly developing as we had hoped. She has tremendous growth and is following right behind her mother M164 in type and build. We had high hopes when we bred her mother to North East Legend. S43 currently has fulfilled all of our hopes as a heifer and is due to calve as 2 year old in the spring. Her pedigree is stuffed full of premier genetics from Canada and the US. She and her mother are the type that will be kept with us for some time to come we hope.
Myostatin Status: Awaiting Test
Photo taken October 2023. Melody R032 looks like being a chip of the old block so to speak. She is almost identical in every way to how her mother (F038) developed as a heifer. We intend to build back the strength of our Melody line and R032 sired by Wenmar Major will certainly be a keeper. She is due to calve in the spring as a 3 year old. We just hope that she is half as good as her mother has been over the years.
