milk-white kine, Smiled them a welcome. . ."

Bichon Frise

Halliburton Boopsie (AKA Wanda Mae) thinks there might be something she
wants off the tree limbs being cleared from this woodsy path left by
Hurricane Rita.. |
Halliburton Adios (AKA Lisa), April of 2006, at about 5 years old, fully matured,
and she's never had a bull calf that wasn't hands down the best of
the bunch. Below is El Presidente in Oct. 2009, and Elvis in
Oct. 2009, both herd sires here at the ranch.
Click

Halliburton Alouise (AKA Taylor), a double Popeye daughter, in August of
'06.. Her Fall
'05 Bounder sired heifer, J.West's Jilly, pictured
below. See Taylor too, sired by High Noon, below far left.
And just below in the next section are her two last calves, both
very nice bulls.

This is J.West's Taylor Too, all grown up,
and what a well made cow she is. Her El Presidente daughter,
J.West's Taylor Maid, born Oct. 2008, is pictured below in Nov.
2008, an outstanding, thick little girl.   |
 
JWest's Jane Eyre, American Fullblood, DOB 3-04, Dam TX Alta, Sire
Huck Finn. Pictured above as a young heifer and then as a mature
cow in May '08. She captures your eye, a very sweet face and good
confirmation. See her March 2006 bull calf
below. |
Pictured here as a young calf is Halliburton Allouise's
Mazarati bull calf born Oct. 07, J.West's S.S. Carter, and then in
Oct. 09 as a two year old, what a transition.
.........and her El Presidente sired bull calf born Sept. 08, J.West's

Late September 2005, the cows appreciated the Hurricane tearing down
the limbs of this pecan tree. A taste test of pecan, red oak,
and hickory left pecan leaves winning hands down.
Pictured below, a group of happy cows in April of 2008 . . . wish we
had grass like that all the time!

J.West's Wanda Mae,
Dam Halliburton Boopsie, sire Halliburton High Noon, pictured in Oct.
2008, a month away from calving, a very easy-keeping girl, that makes a Feed Efficiency
statement all her own!
Below is Halliburton Boopsie with her newly born bull calf, sired by
J.West's Tom Sawyer.

J.West's Colleen, in April 2008, at her
feet is the little bull calf, tag #39, that Colleen adopted within 2
days of losing her first calf. She remained his 'other' Mom
until he was weaned this fall, testament to the strong maternal
instincts that come through her maternal line, her Granddam being
CRae215G, one of my original cows.
A beautiful wedding under an old oak tree wraps up with the cow herd
coming to offer up their congratulations! |
Fall 2005 heifer, J.West's Nell Opal. Dam is Halliburton Konnie, sire is J.West's
King Cole. Very pretty girl and pictured below all grown up in May
2008.
And her first calf, a real pretty heifer, sired by Mazarati and a
welcome addition to the herd. Update: See her below in October
09, now spring bred heifer.. |

This is J.West's Annabelle, a very fine Elvis sired cow.
Annabelle is the product of linebreeding to DFTX "Doc" Watson, who
is the sire of both her sire and dam.
This is J.West's Brigit, a fine girl sired by J.West's King Cole and
proving herself a good mama cow for my herd. Brigit is a half
sister to J.West's Tom Sawyer. |
This is J.West's Ms Rae in October 2008.
Her dam is CRae215G and sire is DFTX Watson. MsRae has matured
into an outstanding female. Pictured below is her Fall 2008
heifer, J.West's Raelly Ann, sired by El Presidente.

J.West's Nell Opal 07 in Oct. 2009
J.West's Blue Boy, American Fullblood, Dam J.West's Emily, Sire
Huckleberry Finn. Blue Boy matured into a very handsome bull,
pictured to the left in May of 2007. He went to his new home
in Louisiana in October of 2007.
|
J.West's Blossum is coming along well, her dam is J.West's Bountiful
Brigit, sire is J.West's El Presidente, she's a half sister to
Brigit pictured above.
J.West's Elsie Edna grazing in late summer, one of my favorite cows.
Dam is GR Edna, Sire is Huck Finn. She calved a 52 lb. heifer
calf, sired by El Presidente, and she's pictured below in November
2009 at 7 months old.
 |
This is J.West's McQueenie, American Fullblood, from my Bountiful
line of females. This is McQueenie's first calf, J.West's
Fairy Delight, sired by Mazarati --and was a full term calf!
This tiny heifer had a birth weight of 31 lbs, per the scales.
She remains a very small framed girl, impeccable markings, a deep
front, just in a quite small package. Her dam is also a small
framed cow, weighing about 800 lbs when she calved Fairy in Nov.
2007. McQueenie had a taped birth weight of 60 lbs, but I
suspect she had an actual weight 10% or more less than that.
|
Pictured here is Halliburton High Noon at about 9 months of age, and
still at the side of his awesome dam, CRae 11. These two are
one of the first cow/calf pairs I purchased when I began raising
British Whites. And High Noon's legacy here, through his son,
El Presidente, and the daughters I have, is one of easy muscling and
fattening and great carcass traits, easy-going disposition and great
British White markings. *****Below is High Noon at about 3 years of
age in 2005, shortly before sale as a herd sire. He continues
to be a working bull putting great calves on the ground.
