The 2022 calving season kicked off with a bang. This beautiful dark red heifer with a heart on her forehead arrived out of "Maui" Casey 5-153 and our Beefmaster herd Matriarch, PVF Sophie 411, who always raises an outstanding calf. She knew it was time, too. Her last several calves have come after her journey to the barn and this one was no different. Even more special; this marks year 170 in operation when Thompson Cattle Co began, where O Bar Beefmasters was derived from. This heifer kicked off one of the best (believed to come) calving seasons in all 170 years, with the performance blood that we have within the herd and the bull now. I'll take it as a sign of good faith by our ancestors that stuck it out prior to allow us to fuel our passion, via that heart she came bearing that they approve and smiling down. Let's pray that the rest arrive an smooth and effortlessly as this one. Great job, Sophie!
