More ancestors.

I know, I know, if you look at the time, you see I just got done with my first post, but I'm just so excited about this whole thing that I can't help myself. I know you too are waiting with baited breath to find out more about the ancestry of the Lowline herd being kept at Aitch St Farms and other places in the State of Washington. (Occasionally you may find one tied on a lawn at Wiser Lk., the home of one of my partners, and there are a few roaming the Yakima Reservation also, the home of another partner.) Anyway, I digress. This big bad fella is Tequila. Tequila is a bull. But what I am going to tell you about him is no bull. Tequila was the National Champion Lowline Bull at the Royal Easter Show in Australia in 2000. Imported to the US that year, he was the record selling bull in Denver for $22,500. Since making his home at the Bar J Ranch, he has sired more class winners and major champions then any bull in the breed.

And why do you care about this? Because Tequila is the Sire of Evergreen, the Matriarch of our little herd of little black angus on our little farm. Can you even believe it? With royal ancestry like that, it has to be good. When Evergreen has that little baby calf in April '07, it is going to be cause for celebration. Bubba's it's daddy, Tequila it's granddaddy and Brenton it's great grand daddy. WOW. What a pedigree. Crank up the barbque...it's about time to party.

Here is a picture of a little black dumb bull. He lives in New Zealand. The reason I have included his picture here is that we have a number of offspring from this guy. And for those of you who know me, I'm a real family guy. So, old Brenton here, is now part of our family. Kind of. OK, he's not part of our family, part of him is in our family. His genes are anyway. Well, if you didn't care, why are your reading this. So you must care about family too. So read on. Ol' Eliza Park Brenton is actually the granddaddy to three of our critters: Willow, Reba and Bubba. Did I say Bubba. Yes sir. He's da bull. He's the King of the Hill. He's the patroller of the pasture. Bubba is the daddy to be of all the babies we are anxiously awaiting this spring. So take a look at Bubba and come back soon, where I will be sharing more exciting pictures and historical information about the animals you will find at the "Aitch St. Farm"
