Bottle calf available

***Stewart has found a new zip code***

We try our best to avoid having a bottle calf, dam raised is always best, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Stewart was a twin born May 21st, and unfortunately his mom only wanted the other twin. He got colostrum right away and has been living in the pasture next to our house with our yearling heifers so that we can keep a close eye on him and make feeding easier. He's been banded and had cdt shots. He does great on a bottle but would take well to a nurse cow. Stewart is looking for a new zip code. AHCA registered dam and sire on site. 

Herd Sire Available

Journey (ET,PV,D) AHCA #62209

**sold**

Journey has left an impressive stamp as our herd sire for the last few years, but we've retained several of his daughters and it's time to let him leave his mark on your herd.

You will likely recognize his well know parentage. Journey's dam is Yarnelle Farms Betula and sire is Rioghail of Balmoral. His full bother STR Armageddon was the 2020 NWSS Reserve Grand Champion Bull.

Functional, well balanced, and a standout in the pasture. We have seen good gains in our grass-fed/grass-finished beef program with his progeny. This gentle giant weighs in at 2100lbs and has great feet to support this weight. His docile demeanor makes him easy to handle and he loves being brushed. Nt821 tested negative

Noreen of Asman, AHCA #70,282, dob 4/17/2024

Looking for a great addition for your herd... look no further. This yearling heifer is the epitome of the Highland breed. It's hard not to fall in love with her calm personality and true Scottish style. You'll recognize many great animals and farms in her pedigree; including her infamous grandparents Yarnelle Farms Betula, Rioghail of Balmoral, HA Lady Natalie, and URick of Balmule. Her dam is one of our favorites from the well-known PNW herd of Cape St Mary's located on Washington's Lopez Island. While she is quite the looker, we expect her to be a very productive member of any herd, and is a great blending of genetics. Her registration with AHCA is currently pending.

Dam: Cape St Mary's Ymelda #57,063

Sire: STR Journey (ET,PV,D) #62,209

JAA Mootilda (AI,PV,D), #68,505, 4/29/2023

This two year old dun heifer is feminine and correct, with wide sprung ribs, and a calm and friendly demeanor. She is not only a looker, but she will be a productive addition to any herd. Her pedigree boasts impact dams and sires on both sides; her dam is on tract to become an impact dam herself and has a great udder. While it's hard for us to part with this amazing heifer, she is ready to breed this year, and will bring amazing results to your herd.

Dam: Little Girl of VOR (AI,D) #60,844

Sire: LEA Lars (PV,D) #56,945

Spring heifer update

Looking forward to warmer and dryer weather around the farm.  The wet doesn't stop the chores, and the few nice days we do have are filled to the brim.

Our almost yearling heifers have been going through their socialization classes, lol!  Aka, get them in a smaller paddock, work with them, and decide who makes the next cut for potential breeding stock.  A few will join the beef crew, a few will be retained, and we are faced with the decision of who will be offered for sale.

Make sure to follow our farm's FB page for the most up to date information on potential animals for sale.  We will be making an announcement in the next few weeks.

2024 NWHCA Spring Production Sale

Margaret of Asman has been consigned to the NWHCA Spring Production Sale, being held online at cowbuyer.com.  Lots will be available for bidding soon, with the auction closing on April 27th at 5pm PDT.

Margaret is a yearling heifer showing great potential along with a noteworthy pedigree. Her dam, Cape St. Mary's Vera, hails from the iconic Cape St. Mary's herd on Lopez Island, Washington with decades of breeding experience, great maternal instincts and amazing udders. Her sire, STR Journey, is the progeny of Rioghail of Balmoral and Yarnelle Farms Betula. He is a full sibling to STR Armageddon, the 2020 National Western Stock Show reserve grand champion. Our farm focuses on grass-fed beef, but Margaret would also hold her own in a show ring. She has a very calm demeanor, enjoys brushing, and has been started on the halter. With a 482# adjusted weaning weight, we are excited to see how Margaret will contribute to a successful breeding program.

The girls' get a new home

This year's heifers left for their new home today.  They looked great and I'm sure they will adjust quickly to their new surroundings.

It was a learning experience getting their paperwork ready to cross state lines, but it all came together smoothly. A farm call from the vet earlier this month for their Bangs vaccine and ear tags, their first trailer ride earlier this week to get a health certificate from the vet, and a visit with the brand inspector for their final paperwork.

  FYI... health certificates are good for 30 days, import permit for California (called in at the same time by the vet) is good for 15 days, and a brand inspection is good for 8 days (at least in Oregon). We could have saved a trip to the vet if we had planned the timing a little better, but it was good loading practice for the girls which made this mornings loading easy.

Heifers for sale

Our Spring heifers are ready for a new home. Asking $1200 each.

Clockwise from top left: Fiona born 4/12; Dam of Fiona; Sire of Fiona & Fuschia; Fuschia born 6/3; Dam of Fuschia.

Bull for sale - SOLD

We have decided it's time to switch the genetics in our herd, so we are selling our bull.  We would like to see him go to a nice farm.  He is an unregistered purebred Highland bull, born December 2010.  He has beautiful red coloring with slight brindling, great temperament, and loves being scratched.  He has sired lots of nice calves for us.  We are asking $1300.  Contact us if you would like more details on his pedigree.
