Update on Whine Not Efficiency 052














Whine Not Efficiency 052 is a quiet achiever and now 4 years old.  Having sired plenty of fine calves including the two heifers below, he doesn't have to prove a thing and certainly deserves to enjoy some rest in the late afternoon shade.

Criss Cross & Debutante in full bloom














Whine Not Criss Cross is now nearly 27 months old and she has been AI'd using the outstanding US trait leader, HBC 754A 21K.  I'm anticipating a sensational first calf from her on or about 21st June.  It seems she's a little bashful of the camera but her temperament remains extremely docile.
















Whine Not Debutante is now nearly 25 months old and she too has been AI'd using the outstanding US trait leader, HBC 754A 21K.  I hope she'll produce a wonderful calf around 20th October.

Some Calves of 2009 by Whine Not Efficiency 052

















The nursing cow above is Eaglehawk WC6061 A132, showing some rib from the heroic job she's been doing on her excellent heifer calf, Whine Not Elucidate ("Lucy") who is nearly six months old in this picture.



















This is Whine Not Erudite ("Rudi"), a grandson of AMI 635E Flor De Mayo. Very neat sheath with not much dewlap but quite slick coated. (Compare with Excalibur below).


















Whine Not Excalibur is a very different type from Rudi; deeper and even slicker coated. He also has a more pronounced dewlap and consequently a less tidy sheath.



 
The cow above is a highly respected Red Angus matron, Sandstone X804 who has produced a number of impressive Senegus calves, this most recent one being Whine Not Eureka.  Nearly six weeks old here, he is already well fleshed out with nice muscle expression; another good example of the vigorous Senegus composite.
