This is Jameson Reed, he was my show calf two years ago. When I say he had the biggest personality, I am not exaggerating. Jameson had no idea of his size and strength. He was the classic show steer, a gentle giant with a kind soul. Though only at first glance because when he started walking, he was a showstopper. Immediately his huge head and bold shoulders caught your eye, soon they drift to his deep belly and dense muscles. To complete the picture you probably saw his tongue flying through the air trying to lick anyone he can reach. I am so thankful to my buyer that took him home. Because of them Jameson got to live an extended amount and help younger kids know what its like to raise beef!

Jameson grew so fast right before my eyes. Above is him in his first months with me verses his last month.
Stetson by far was one of my favorite memories. He taught me so much and he really showed me what it meant to be a cattle showman. Stetson made it to champion drive August 2022, not because of his size or hair, but because of the raw muscle and build that he had. He worked as hard as I did every single day to get us to fair. When purchased, he was both younger and smaller than what is optimal for a show steer. With the help of my mentors and family he and I were able to make it to fair well above the minimum weight.
My market steer Schmitt Happens or more commonly known as Schmitt was the most fun calf i've had the pleasure of raising. He has a relaxed, cool, collected feel to him. He was gentle, slobbery, and my partner in the show ring. Everything about my year with him was special, making it a year for the books. Not only this but his unique ear tag constantly brings up questions of why Its designed the way that it is and what the meaning is. I can honestly say that it doesn't have that special of a story. I was obsessed with a certain player on on my favorite baseball team and decided to base it off of him. This is a logo from one of his iconic plays of last year.
