  Taco has proven to be quite a bull.
  Measured at 3 years of age he is 46.5 inches
  tall, 1,100 pounds.  Taco has a beautiful calf
  crop in Washington state. Red, dun and black
  heifers and only a couple bull calves are thick
  and deep.  He has passed on his disposition
  and the calves are enjoyed by their owners.   
  Taco is polled, dun, carries red, is long legged
  and tested chondrodyplasia and PHA free.
  He carries Lucifer and Saturn of Knotting,
  Cornahir Outlaw and Saltaire Platinum in his
  pedigree.  Taco's a great choice for nice size,
  udder and attitude.

Taco's Dairy Traits
Taco has both Knotting herd bulls, Saturn and Lucifer in his background.  He is very dairy type in structure.  His scrotum structure indicates he may tighten sloppy udders.
His DNA tests revealed a bull that carries a higher than normal milk fat content and a top protein content. His
               somatic cell score will help put a stop to mastitis
                risk.  He carries average to preferred genes for
                cheese production (Kappa Casein, Beta Casein
                and Beta Lactoglobulin results).  He is above
                average for progeny pregnancy rates and
                productive life span.  This young bulls
                daughters will start lactation in 2010 and we are
                excited to see what they do.
Taco's Beef Traits
Taco has both Cornahir Outlaw and Saltaire Platinum in his background.
He has good width from brisket to hind legs displaying great lung and heart capacity.
His DNA tests revealed a bull that is in the middle of the road for both residual feed intake and average daily gain.  He is middle of the road for carcass quality, marbling and yield.  His maternal calving ease and stayability in a herd is above standard and he is middle of the road for docility. This is a sire that can produce long-time producing offspring that can utilize feed comparable to an average beef breed of cattle.  Our own taste tests have proven that Taco's off spring yield over 70% and have ample marbling, tenderness and great flavor.

Frederick's Dairy Traits
Frederick was bred by Gerald Holmquist a dairyman of years gone by who started his Dexter herd by way of Fred Chesterly.
Frederick has proven to tighten udder conformation on his daughters.
His DNA tests revealed a homozygous A2 (A2/A2) bull that carries the highest possible milk fat content and a top protein content. His somatic cell score will help put a stop to mastitis risk.  He carries average to preferred genes for cheese production (Kappa Casein, Beta Casein and Beta Lactoglobulin results).  He is above average for progeny pregnancy rates and productive life span.  His maternal sister (RDoubleD American Rambler @ Rdoubled.com) tested an average of 6% butterfat and 5% protein content and milked out 3/4 of a gallon twice a day 7 months into her first lactation.  His paternal sister, Rose of Lone Oak is featured on our dairy page.

rate is near the top as well and he is middle of

fast producing offspring that can utilize feed as well
as any other beef breed of cattle.

Ringo's Beef Traits
Ringo's DNA tests revealed a bull that scores very high for
both residual feed intake and average daily gain.  The highest of all three of our bulls.
He is average for carcass quality and marbling.  His tenderness scores also very high, the highest of all of our boys. 
His maternal calving ease and heifer pregnancy
rate is at the top as well and he is above average for docility. His first steers won't go for a couple of years but they should be good!
