Lizzy has a gentle temper with people, but she is displaying leadership skills in the calf pasture. Lizzy has astounding genetic background with BR Voodoo Magic (AI,D) as her sire and Muirneag 3rd of VH as her dam.
Jackalope's Nessa
Nessa is our “popular, spunky” girl. She is the first one to run up for attention and always the last one to walk away. Nessa can go from being a very mellow love bug to a hyper toddler that loves to run and jump and play! It is always a fun time when Nessa is around. She comes from a phenomenal pedigree and is already displaying the strong traits of great conformation, beautiful topline, docile temperament, and is deep bodied. Her sire is Elm Hollow’s Jager, son of BR Voodoo Magic and grandson of T2 Gorgeous George and Britta of Big Ridge. Her Dam is Lox Leodaig NicAodhan out of the outstanding Locustbrae fold.

Nola is such a docile, sweet girl. She is as mellow as they come. Nola likes to look after the younger calves, making sure they are safe and not wandering too far away. She gets so excited when she sees the brush come out and tries to always be the first in line for pampering. Nola’s remarkable personality is a strong trait of her outstanding lineage. Her sire is 10x Grand Champion, including 2017 and 2018 NWSS Grand Champion Bull, Finley Falls Duncan.

LHN Larkspur (Larki)
Larki has a very curious personality. She loves eating treats from your hand and enjoys following you. around to see what’s going on. She also likes to be the second in command. Her bloodlines are fantastic, as her sire is STR Double Shot, who is the first bull calf sired by the 2015 National Grand Champion Bull and reigning ROE Champion, CBS Yaz’s Yukon Jack. Her dam is NWH Abby Adair. It is a fun experience. Watching her grow and mature into a phenomenal herd cow.
ZR Maggie's Ivy
Ivy was never worked with since birth and is very timid and skittish of people. We have been working daily with her and she is coming around really well. Ivy now allows us to brush her, which is a big step for her. She no longer tries to run from us, but instead is trying to figure out what we are doing. I am looking forward to seeing how different her personality will become within the next couple months. She is showing good, strong Highland traits and has nice conformation. Ivy’s sire is Red Rock Earl, who is the son of Boggers WollyBully and Honey Creek Heidi. Her dam is Thist ‘Ole Maggie, daughter of Cheek’s Sunset Xerox and Maple Hill Ms. Dina-Mite.
TOR Ellie Mae (Ellie)
Ellie Mae is one of our first Highlands on the ranch. She came to us as a very nervous cow that didn’t like to be around people very much. After working with her and gaining her trust, she has become a favorite on our ranch. She loves hearing her named called and will come running up for attention and treats. Ellie is one of the best mama cows that we have had. She will not only take care of her calf, but she likes to mother other calves as well. She makes sure all of the babies are safe and cared for.
Ribeye
Ribeye is a beautiful brindle steer calf. His dam is TOR Ellie Mae and sired by Chance of AAA Quality. He is a very docile calf that is full of energy. We decided to steer him due to our breeding standards. He is a beautiful calf, but not the quality that we would like for our breeding standards.
