At
Wild Oaks Farms
we have developed a program over the last 10 years that is Predictable
and Profitable. We have a commercial herd of around 100 registered, commercial Beefmasters,
a handful of unique donors, and 30 - 40 high quality females. Many of these individuals are genetically strong enough to develop into donors as they
prove themselves. We have tremendous milking females, and our embryo recips
come from our commercial herd.
The
original herd was based on cows
with strong Phantom/Ranger Pride genetics, bred to a our polled Country Western
son, Bruno. A high percentage of their offspring have been red and polled.
Our Sr. Herd Sire, Crown Prince 920 1/2
is a Cavalier son whom many have said is one of the
most complete and correct bulls in the breed today. We have selectively added cows to
strengthen the polled aspect of our herd, while maintaining a strong sense
of femininity. We are especially excited about our Herd Sire Revelation
1/3, (Desperado x Lady Leanna) and the impact his
strong 6/2 genetics will have on our herd. Our purchase in May, 05,
of a Circle C Blizzard son, out of **Miss Dee , a Sex Appeal daughter, will
help concentrate these tremendous genetics. In September we purchased
another Blizzard son, out of the 1999 Miss Beefmaster America, Lady
Desperado, another future herd sire with an exceptionally strong bottom
bloodline.
To meet the demand in the Midwest for
black breeding bulls and feedlot calves, we are selectively developing a
line of Black Beefmasters. In 2003, by private treaty, we purchased all the
black cattle from the heart of the L Bar Lasater herd. These 5 cows are now known as
the Isa Blacks, and in 2004, Isa Basic Black was awarded
the prestigious Pacesetter designation by BBU. We felt it was important to
secure females that were not only black, but proven in the field, and
confirmed with generations of EPD material. The other cornerstone of our
black Beefmaster program is our donor cow, "The Black Heifer", who was Grand
Champion of the
Miss Beefmaster America Futurity in 2003.
In our AI program we are currently
using Black Jack 21, Bandito, Scarlet's Pride, Smooth
Connection, Polled Mandate and L Bar 5502, Soulman and Ace in the Hole . We appreciate your interest and
look forward to visiting with you soon.
WOF is proud to support
the development of the breed through membership in the Beefmaster Breeders
United (BBU), the Southeastern Beefmaster Breeders Association (SEEBA)
the Arkansas Beefmaster Breeders Association (ABBA) the Central States
Beefmaster Breeders Association (CSBBA) and the Arkansas Cattlemen's
Association, and the JBBA through donations.
