Check out Jimmie's Cattle

Mr. Kenneth Brown, a long time resident of Colmesneil, Texas, and my
pasture neighbor, has been
my volunteer right hand for many years now. Mr. Brown always has a ready
smile and always a keen eye when he checks on the cows. He is
pictured here in March 2011 just after feeding out some alfalfa hay
flakes. He likes staying busy and he sure likes interacting with
my gentle British White calves and mama cows.

Spring 2009 at the South Texas State Fair in Beaumont, Texas.
This was a first for all of us --Taylor, and the heifer, Mazey, and me.
We had quite a good time, and I thought both Taylor and Mazey had a blue
ribbon day. Taylor thought it was a major plus to be the only
person in her breed. She showed Mazey all by herself in her own
group, and Mazey and Taylor took home the Blue Ribbon. I just love
the expressions on both Taylor and Mazey in these photos, click the
thumbnail to get a good luck at those two pretty girls.

Summer 2008 this group of mostly heifers were not in the least spooked
by their new visitors on the fourth of July.
Oftentimes, small children will spook a herd of cattle, even British
Whites, and have them scattering to the four winds, but not this herd of
British Whites. They are just as curious as this little toddler. |

Jimmie in March 2006 with a heifer a couple of weeks old and still
approachable.
 My sweet niece, Taylor, getting to know the cows
in the fall of 2001. Sure do
miss her when she's gone.
Update 12/03 - Taylor is now an
excellent hand on the ranch. She spent all of the past summer with
me and her favorite thing to do was cut out a few cows. She has a
gift for working with them.

Bob Stanley delivering my first herd
bull, Doc, in the summer of 2001. Doc was my first British White and he
was awfully lonesome for Bob and some cow company for a few weeks.
He's looking pretty lean here from coming off of a late spring breeding season.
Bob Stanley passed away in the
fall of 2003, and he is missed. He was excited and passionate about
British White cattle and was intent on raising them through his retirement
years. He has left some fine animals for us all to work with.

Morris Halliburton delivering my first group of cows
in the summer of 2001. Doc
was sure happy to see them! I'm happy to know that the ranch is
now cleaned up - it looks like they're embarking into a jungle! |

British
White Cattle - Born Gentle, Stay Gentle, and you can't ask for more in
fertility, milkiness, calving ease, low birth weights, and
hardiness..........
