Here is Scout, who sells as Lot #8 on Saturday Nov. 29. She was shown by a first-time 4-Her Courtney Johnson this year and was part of our showstring. However, she didn't always lead the glamorous life.
Scout first stood out to us when she was just a calf. One of the youngest in our 2007 calf crop, she put up big gains on pasture without a bite of grain. I credit much of that to her mother, a 1997 MN Great Northern sale purchase consigned by the Clarence Caraway Family. Scout is a spitting image of her mother - dark cherry red, fancy, but still a deep bodied capacious brood cow. This bred heifer will follow in her mother's footsteps (who was still productive in our herd at age 11).
Lot #8 is AI-bred to Laramie and expected to calve on 2/11/2009. We hope she finds a good home to raise her calf in. Check out her extended pedigree and latest EPDs by clicking here. Here's a parting shot of Scout after I did the roughed-up clip job - you can see how fancy she is. By the way, she placed first in her class of April heifers at the MN State Fair this year.
