British White Cow - Bountiful

HRH Bountiful in the Summer of 2006 about 7 months bred. She's a strikingly beautiful cow and seems somehow  to glow with motherhood more than my other girls . . .

This is J.West's Big Mac, born July 2006, an outstanding HRH Bountiful son sired by J.West's Elvis, pictured in May 2008.
British White Calf in a Field of Clover

Fall '06 heifer calf from Wanda Mae and J.West's Elvis, pictured in March of 07above, and  named JWest's Vincenzia.....she's an excellent young heifer.  Vinnie suffered a severe leg injury in August of 2007 and it was a solid year before she was healed.  She's pictured below in October 2008.  Were it not for her excellent disposition, we likely would not have seen her fully healed, she let you treat her in an open pen for a very long time.

      British White Cow - Wanda Mae   Little cow I call Wanda Mae (Halliburton Boopsie)  in the Summer of 2006, about 5 months bred and a hefty bull calf recently weaned.  The most placid cow in my herd - a Popeye daughter.  Cow Calving Slideshow
Pictured below is Wanda Mae's fall born El Presidente sired bull calf in Nov.'08, J.West's Sandy Andy, and he is a working herd sire in West Texas.
Pictured below is J.West's Tom Sawyer, grandson of HRH Bountiful and the English bull Woodbastwick Randolph Turpin, and sired by De Beauvoir's Huckleberry Finn.....and perhaps one of the best Huck Finn sons in the breed. 

British White Bull - J.West's Tom Sawyer

J.West's Bountiful Brigit, dam HRH Bountiful, Sire is Turpin.  She is what I'd like my whole herd to look like and act like.  An excellent girl and she's become an outstanding mother, including dam to Tom Sawyer above.

 J.West's Wanda Mae, Dam Halliburton Boopsie, sire Halliburton High Noon, pictured  in Oct. 2008, a month away from calving, a very easy-keeping girl, that makes a Feed Efficiency statement all her own!

Below is Halliburton Boopsie with her newly born bull calf, sired by J.West's Tom Sawyer.  This little guy was named J.West's Zeus and is a working herd sire here in Texas.


 

This is J.West's Blossum raising her own Carter sired bull calf in November 2011, along with having adopted a young heifer calf out of GR Edna who was orphaned a few months prior.  GR Edna was my oldest cow and sadly she died.  Blossum is doing a remarkable job raising both calves.  Particularly when you consider the drought of 2011.
J.West's Blossum, Spring 07, a really pretty El Presidente sired heifer calf out of a Woodbastwick Randolph Turpin sired dam.
 

Below is J.West's Blossum in the Summer of 2010.

 British White Cow - Elsie

GR Edna (AKA Elsie) in November 2004, Spring bred.  Below is Edna's Spring 07 Heifer Calf, J.West's Elsie Eve, sired by J.West's El Presidente, and next is her Spring 04 heifer,  J.West's Elsie Edna, sired by Huck Finn.


 

 

A group shot of some bred cows and heifers on December 1st, 2012.  Shortly after I took this I spotted several young calves on the wrong side of that fence line behind them.  Fortunately, they are British White calves and they frolicked their way back through the fence with a fair amount of ease!

British White Calves

A particularly beautiful photo from the summer of 2011.  See the faint rainbow in the sky?
British White Bull Calf - King Cole
J.West's King Cole as a youngster.  Dam HRH Arlene, sire Halliburton Colonel. Pictured below in the spring of 2006.

 
Fall born '08 heifer calf,  nicely made girl, with a very curious nature, her name is Winnifred, and she's a double Elvis daughter.
Halliburton Adios in May 2005, just two weeks following weaning of a 593 lb bull calf, J .West's El Presidente, now a primary herd sire here at the ranch.  Quite an amazing little Popeye sired cow. 

 
British White Cow - JWest's Madonna

JWest's Madonna about 7 months bred in the Summer of 06. Her dam, Halliburton Kaywood 61K, Sire DFTX "Doc" Watson, an excellent female.  Two of her daughters are retained in the herd:  J.West's Hot Pepper and J.West's Bluebell. About 7 months bred in the Summer of '06.

Do you have this problem?  Some of my heifers just can't help themselves, they just have to get IN the hay ring to eat!  This pic was taken November 2011.

J.West's Lillie Bell, daughter of Bluebell, and grandaughter of Madonna -- with her first calf at foot, a J.West's S.S. Carter sired heifer who was entirely too fond of peering through the fence on the highway of the front pasture.  Picture taken November 2011.
