Shaner Bob After
passing up buying Shane
at the Lowline sale at the National Western, in
January 2009, Charleen Mellott approached us and
asked if we would be interested in purchasing
Izzie, who was bred to Shane. We took her up on
the offer and have been happy with our purchase.
Rick Mellott said Izzie was "Black Lab
gentle" and he was right! She is a pleasure
to be around and is a good mom to boot.

Sherry Gerry 55P Barn
name: Sherry Sex:
Cow Birthdate:
7/17/04 Birthweight:
45 Color: Black Offspring: We
purchased Sherry from the BBQ ranch, by Fort
Collins, Colorado, after seeing a flyer
advertising Lowlines for sale at the National
Western Lowline auction (literally the flyer had
been casually set down on a table outside of the
auction office where we had just finished paying
for Perfection). What caught my eye was the BBQ,
since Red was off the BBQ ranch and we were so
happy with her. She is a nice cow and easy to
handle.

MLAR Power's Pretty Penny Perfection
was our only purchase at the National Western
Lowline auction in January 2009. After pouring over
the sale catalog for literally hours and hours,
going and looking at all the cattle at the stock
yards, revamping our picks, attending the
"Peoples Choice" selection show before
the auction, and revamping our picks again,
Perfection was still on the list. She was the #5
Peoples Choice, and therefore was the 5th bred
heifer sold, and I wanted her badly. I was
ecstatic when we were high bidder! She didn't do
so well at the show (don't get me started on the
funky judging), but we still thought she was a
good heifer and she has proven us correct. She
throws an awesome calf and is a great mom. Jake
Reed, you did a good job with this one!

Indy Bunny
wasn't put on the open market, but circumstances put her available to us
(thanks Neil Effertz). She is a nice cow and a good mom. She is easy to work
with and sometimes is so calm in the chute that I wonder if she is halter
broke or deep down really wants to be a pet <grin>. Her calf,
Indy, was born on the semi, when we were moving from Colorado to New
York (he was born around Chicago, but we didn't get to pull over and check
until right over the Indiana border).

Purple Rain Barn name: Rainy Sex:
Cow Birthdate: 3/29/09 Birthweight:

was the first fullblood born on the ranch and
were we ever happy to see her! She has developed
into a nice heifer and we look forward to seeing
her mature and produce.

MLAR Power's Renee Red
was bred on the BBQ ranch, which is where we got
Sherry from (see Sherry's
story). She is very beefy, which we love, and
has a good disposition. Her first calf with
Power, Renee, is awesome, and we look forward to
more from this pairing!
Registered Name: BV29T Barn name:
Harvick Sex:
Cow Birthdate: 3/27/07 Birthweight:
54 Color: Black Offspring:
MLAR Power's Delana Harvick
is a purebred female that is compact and easy to
handle. Her tag number is 29T and I have really
tried to start having names for the cows,
instead of numbers--names are more
personable--and since 29 is Kevin Harvick's car
number in NASCAR, I named her Harvick. Delana,
Harvick's first calf, was named after Kevin
Harvick's wife.

Power's Renee Barn name:
Renee Sex:
Cow Birthdate: 3/9/09 Birthweight:
43 Color: Black Renee
was the first calf of the season and I was sooo
excited! She was the highest percentage of
Lowline we had ever had born on the ranch and
also the highest percentage we'd had out of
Power. We weren't disappointed! As of September
2009, she has grown quickly and holds a great
deal of promise. We are looking forward to
seeing what she produces!

is the first calf out of Harvick. She has
developed into a nice female and we are
anticipating more good calves from her line.

Power's Chunk Barn name: Chunk Sex:
Cow Birthdate: 3/2/07 Birthweight:
not on file Color: Black Chunk
is an awesome cow out of #916 and Power. Her
forehead is very wide and gives her a beefier
look. She is the ideal body type we look for,
and has the typical "Power head" that
we like.

Chunk 916
has consistently produced top quality calves and
solidifies the fact that the bulls do not make
babies by themselves; it takes a great cow,
along with a great bull, to make excellent
babies. Her calf from 2008 averaged 3+ lb. gain
per day, on alfalfa/grass hay only! We always
look forward to seeing her calves. The calf she
is pictured with above was Chunk when she was a
few weeks old. By her registration number, you
can tell that she was one of the first
percentage cattle registered with the ALR--we
like going back to the base bloodlines! I need
to ask Neil Effertz if he has anymore females
out of that Angus cow!

(don't be confused by the #3 in her ear), is the
other halfblood cow we still have from the
original halfbloods that Jeramie purchased (916
is the other). This year was the second year
that she was bred to Power and her heifer calf,
Sue, has turned out to be quite nice.

Power's Dream Barn name:
Dream Sex:
Cow Birthdate: 5/3/09 Birthweight:
49 Color: Tan Dream
is just that, my dream. She is a full sister to
Peanut, and since keeping Peanut wasn't an
option, I dreamed of a heifer like him. I got
it. In the picture above she is 4 1/2 months
old. We expect great things out of her! Black
may be the "in" color, but I really
like the tan (we call it "mouse"). We
expect great things from this one!
