One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

So we had the instance where Fortunate Son got in the doe pen and I saw him breed Zamia
We are going to Lute her
We had already decided we were not going to show her Memorial Day but breed her later for the National Show so we have some time (not much)
I think we are going to breed her with Vivaldi
Its a complete out cross and I have mixed feelings about it
We are going to breed Clarabelle to Big Brown.
That's kind of a no brainer

We are debating having another litter of pups from Angel and Marvel

It seemed like the ND winners at the NC State Fair had kidded closer to the fair date, not Memorial Day. June, July- if I remember correctly.

Exciting you guys will be going to Nationals again!
Looking like alot of people will be wanting to go since it is so close!

Is this a repeat breeding between Clarabelle & Big Brown?
They should be lovely!

 

[OneFineAcre]

I don't think Clarabelle has been bred to BB before
Her 2 does this time were from Valiant
Last time she had 3 bucks and they were from her half brother Zeus. I know one of those is in NY and I know one was weathered I think 2 were wethered
Her first time she had twin bucks. I think they were Rocky not 100 per cent sure on my memory without checking ADGA
@Pearce Pastures got one of those and the other went to Ohio
