JJ Detweiler Land & Cattle Co. select their “Pick of Rausch Herefords Female Herd”

Detweilers were the successful bidder of pick of the Rausch Hereford female herd in the 2007 Denver Stock Show Hereford Sale. In August, herdsman Aaron Glascock spent two days going through each breeding pasture. Equipped with the herds’ HerdMaster performance reports he was able to see each cow with her calf at side and the sire to which she was currently bred. At the conclusion of his tour, Aaron had approximately 70 candidates noted. He then reviewed his notes and quickly narrowed his selection to 6 or 7 head.

Aaron returned in September to make his final selection. Jerry Rausch, the main tour guide of the 1200 head plus Hereford females, said it was an honor to take such a knowledgeable gentleman as Aaron through the breeding pastures.

The final pick was HR MISS OZZIE 455 a daughter of HR OSWALD 137L. She is a three year old with her second calf and well on her way to becoming a Dam of Distinction cow in the Hereford breed. She is currently bred to R WRANGLER 2414. Her mother and grandmother are also Dams of Distinction.

"I was very impressed with the depth of quality in the Rausch program. It was an awesome experience to sort through that many good Hereford cows," said Glascock.
