Donors
Tiana (Ms T)
Reg Name: Dieckmann Princess 4784
Reg #: 21043023
Sire: BNWZ Dignity 8017
Dam: EXAR Princess 13888
A few years ago, we sat down and mapped out a goal with the genetic lines we wanted to incorporate into our herd two cows that were among the top of this list were EXAR Princess 5391 and CCC Sara’s Dream 5116. The pedigree of Ms T, Dieckmann Princess 4784, combines both of those powerhouse donors as grand-dams. Ms. T is out a flush sister to the Pebbles donor at Ward Brothers and the dam to Conley Lead the Way. Sired by the ever popular BNWZ Dignity, Ms T offers power, base width and volume in a balanced, feminine package.
Reign
Reg Name: LMAN BOY Proven Queen 338L
Reg #: 20825490
Sire: Silveiras Style 9303
Dam: BOY Proven Queen 947 ET
We rarely post on snap chat, but often look at the stories of many influential people in the beef industry. Jared Boyert posted a heifer in the fall of 2023 as FCFS. We rarely ask the price on heifers, but this one was a Style out of a Casino daughter of Proven Queen 419 – arguably the best Angus female that has ever walked the planet. When she was in our price range, we made it happen and had “Reign” in the South by the next weekend.
Reign’s mother, BOY Proven Queen 947, was the Supreme Champion of the 2020 World Beef Expo and has produced multiple champions already.
Harley
Reg Name: R-Hills Winnie W03K
Reg #: 20809927
Sire: STAG Good Times 201 ET
Dam: Rutherford CMR Winnie 817
Once 817 calved for the first time, we couldn’t wait to get her into our ET program, so we immediately did an IVF flush through Vytelle to the hot young stud, STAG Good Times. From the minute we first laid eyes on Harley, we knew she was something special. Even though Harley only made it to three shows, she certainly turned the heads of some of the industry’s most regarded judges as she won her class at the Mississippi Youth Expo and MS Farm Bureau Classic. Harley is currently safe in calf to PVF Marvel and will join our donor arsenal in the summer of 2025.
Winnie
Reg Name: Rutherford CMR Winnie 817
Reg #: 19424472
Sire: Penners-CC Double Black 2257
Dam: Rutherford Winnie 222
Without a doubt Winnie 817 has the most decorated resume of any cow from the Rutherford Angus program. A many time champion for Audra Graves, her show season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 817 is proving her worth in the pasture now as she has dammed several awesome progeny, including our 2nd generation donor, Harley. 817’s dam, 222, is a beautiful Style daughter out of the foundation EXAR Winnie 3394 – one of the three Northern Improvement daughters out of the Denver Champion WK Winnie 7305. Sired by Penners Double Black, 817 offers a pedigree free of First Class and Insight – a rarity in today’s Angus show rings.
8G
Reg Name: FAB Blackbird 8G
Reg #: 19537647
Sire: Silveiras Style 9303
Dam: SULL HOTZ Blackbird 7506E
During the fall of 2019, we jumped on the opportunity to purchase a heifer calf out of one of the most prominent Angus cow families, the PVF Blackbirds, through the Faber/Kober club calf sale.
8G is a own daughter of the immortal Silvieras Style 9303 out of a paternal sister to Dameron First Class, tracing back to one of the best heifers we had ever laid eyes on, PVF Blackbird 1167. PVF Blackbird 1167 is a previous high seller from a PVF Production Sale, and a direct daughter of our foundation Blackbird 645 cow. She proved herself in the donor pen by creating the Reserve Grand Female of the 2016 Atlantic National and the Supreme Champion of the 2016 Iowa Beef Expo. She is a maternal sister to PVF Blackbird 6044, who sold as a $19,500 highlight of the cow-calf division at the 2018 sale. She is also a maternal sister of the past NJAS Champion, Hoffman H/G Blackbird 620.
