At the 1998 National Convention Sale, Jeannie purchased Meadow Hill Coll Altra as an off-age winter calf. Altra was a fancy Collection heifer that grew into an incredible yearling and outstanding cow. Today, her daughters and sons promise a bright future for the family.

America calved in February and has been milking well. In her first flush this lactation, she made 1 #1, 1 #2, and 1 #3 by Red Brae Prelude Zeus.

America has embryos by Denver and Diablo. Contact us if you are interested! We now have three Denver heifers (two born in September 2007, one born February 2008) and one Diablo heifer born in October 2007. These are some of the nicest heifers on the farm!
