Our Breeding Program

Our goal is to replicate the characteristics and type of the best cow we have ever owned - Lochend Luing 223U through a long-term program of line breeding. 223U was an exceptional cow by any standards, the type that is profitable in any herd - a cow that turned in a calf year after year with no assistance, no fuss and no problems until we reluctantly shipped her at the age of 23½.



The Next Generation

We now have sons and daughters off 223U by three different bulls and by breeding sons off one bull to daughters off the others and vice versa the matings will all be of the half brother/half sister variety. All offspring will effectively carry 50% of 223Us blood. We believe that line-breeding in this manner will give us the best chance of replicating the type of this exceptional cow and carrying it forward for generations to come.



















Current Herd Sires

Medicine River Solomon
Solomon, a son of Medicine River Bear, is our senior herd sire. This very masculine bull covered 65 females as a small two year old. We are very pleased with the form and phenotype of his daughters calving for the first time in 2011.









Medicine River Ulyssis and Warrior
These two full brothers, born as a result of embryo transfer have joined Solomon as foundational sires in our line-breeding program. Their A.I. sire was Lochend Snowlander 185Y who shares 27/32 ancestors in the fourth generation of his extended pedigree with 223U. It was the closest mating we could create and we hope this will help to fix the longevity and type we are seeking
