AHA recently release the 2015 DOD list. This program was designed to recognize the females that consistently perform in the pasture. We had 3 cows recognized this year as a result of our emphasis on maternal traits. These girls don't just have a great production record, but they have the look to go with it. If I had to pick my 3 favorite cows, this is the list:
HLB Cindy B10 - 4 calves, 109 WW ratio, 327 day calving interval Produced 2 show steers including the high selling steer in the 2014 Fliehman sale Cindy is OUR PROGRAM: P606, 745, and 242 crossed with the Mattie and Flash cow families HLB Karen B18 ET - 5 calves, 105 WW ratio, 346 days Second in class JNHE, 1 daughter in production Maternal sib (242) was a previous DOD HLB Sarah Beth B36 - 8 calves, 109 WW ratio, 365 days Reserve Champion Ohio State Fair Jr Show, Reserve Ohio Show Heifer of the Year She would have been recognized sooner if her calving interval wasn't limited by the start of our fall calving.
