Double R Ranch – Females (Click on picture for a larger view)
  
  

We may not have a large herd of females but what we do offer is a group of very consistent mama cows. Our females must all meet our strict performance targets to remain in the herd. Our cows are all docile, easy-keeping females that receive no special attention or care. We are dealing with over 5 years of drought conditions and our females have kept in stride and proven they can adapt to any situation and be productive.

It costs the same to raise a good calf as a poor one and so we expect all our cows to raise good calves every year. Along those lines, all the cattle we sell must meet the same standards. If it isn't good enough to make it back into our herd, we won't be selling it as such. It can be hard parting with some of our best cattle, but our philosophy is to only sell our customers what we are proud of and would keep for our own herd.

Here are a few examples of types of females we own and raise:

Chica
     

Miss DRR Chica R144 PB53676


Congrats to Broken Oak Ranch on their purchase of this outstanding female. Chica has won her class and/or division in every show she has been in and will be as successful in the pasture.

MISS DOUBLE R RUBY 4145 PC40200


Ruby is the mother of both Chica (above) and our Jr Herd Sire Oz (see sires page). She is an outstanding 3/4 polled cow we raised and is solid, consistent and fertile. She is pictured at 6 years of age nursing her March 2007 heifer calf.

Miss DRR Margie 767 AS35301


767 is one of the first Braunvieh females we purchased and became our first donor cow in 2007. She has produced herd sire Mr DRR Warrior 134 AS40203 as well as 2 daughters in our herd and others sold as replacements. She was bred at Triple L Braunvieh, a premier Braunvieh breeder.

Miss Double R 7398 PC47210


This polled 3 year old cow we raised is an example of the quality of our polled females. We only have a few because we except them to perform as well as their horned counterparts. We do not sacrifice performance for polledness.

Miss Double R Kelly 8117 PC40207


This halfblood cow we raised is pictured with her 75% Braunvieh daughter and has given us a replacement quality calf every year. The Braunvieh/Charolais cross has been very successful for us.

Miss DRR Ariel R730 PB53675


Ariel is a young, 3 year old Matt daughter with a tremendous set of EPDs and the performance to back it up. She is pictured with her week old bull calf sired by DRR Oz-Man. The Matt daughters are performing well and so far all have calved unassisted on their first calf and then bred back on schedule with the herd.

A very strong criteria in our selection of bulls and females is disposition. If it's not easy to handle, it's not in our herd.
