While sometimes pedigree dictates the selection, other times it s the animal s conformation and make up that gives it the title. This year s sale has been no different. When we sat down and started to compile the sale catalog I thought that this year s selection would be pretty simple, and I had my mind all but made up for months regarding which animal deserved the top honor. Then, in August we got a call from one of the breeds biggest supporters and oh, did he have a knock out for us You see it wasn't just the animals conformation, or that this calf stemmed from a program that has seen many young individuals find their way to the backdrop, it s what the consignors wanted to do with the calf that made it a no brainer for us. It s with great honor and appreciation that we introduce Lot 1 from J&M Farm, SUGAR RAY! Sugar Ray is sired by JAM s Little Devil, and out of a great cow that stems from some of the top genetics of the KAP herd.

Meredith, June and the Roberts family have decided to give all the money raised for this lot back to the Texas Breeders Foundation, to insure continued support of our activities for the miniature Hereford breeds young exhibitors.

This heifer s origins trace back to the Largent family s herds of West Tx. Many of the great producers in the Miniature Hereford breed today can trace their foundation animals back to this very herd. A very useful breeding piece in many herds. Whether you are looking to add rib shape and softness to those show cattle, or get back some of the easy keeping traits that Miniature Herefords are known for, this lot should be one that we all study.
