Born: 2-10-12 — Purebred Simmental — Cow/Calf Pair


_______________________________________________________________________________
We love our Trademark daughters, and Huckleberry is no exception. She is very feminine, sound and super-fronted, with incredible depth of rib and capacity. This heifer has a perfect udder, is very easy-keeping and has longevity bred into her — her granddam is still in our herd at 12 yrs old. Huckleberry has been shown successfully, but her greatest value will be the fancy, versatile calves she will produce for many years to come. 3 in 1 package, safe in calf to Yardley High Regard, due 1-1-15.
Calf footnote — PVSM Huckleberry Pie — This Upgrade heifer calf will follow in her dam’s footsteps and be a great show heifer and then a productive cow. She is fancy, and has the cow family and balanced EPDs to complement that– note her API of 141.

PVSM Ginger Snap is A.I. bred to Mr NLC Upgrade U8676, sexed heifer semen and is due 9-12-14.

Honey Bear is an easy-keeping first calf heifer with plenty of thickness, depth, and capacity. She will be the type of hard working cow that we have built our herd around. Soundness easy-fleshing ability, plenty of milk, and great dispositions are some of the traits that run deep and strong in this cow family — just ask Messick Farms, they bought a maternal sister (PVSM Honey Bump) to Honey Bear in 2005, and have been very pleased with her. PVSM Honey Bear sells with a solid black bull calf at side, born 3-10-14, sired by Long Shear Pleasure.
