Happy New Year!

This is the time of year to reflect on the past and anticipate the future.  Many make resolutions for the new year and we admit that we have fallen prey to this tradition in the past.  It seems we always fail, so we have given up making resolutions but instead commit to living each day so that in all we do, we try our best.  Do we fail sometimes?  YES! Of course!  But rather than dwelling on a failure, we aim to learn and grow and do better.  In that, we reflect on the past as well as anticipate the future. 
With this new year, we are anticipating the future with our first solo bull sale.  Years ago, Churchill Cattle Co. had a joint production sale with Venhuizen Herefords.  Times and circumstances led us to sell private treaty for many years and now time and circumstances are leading us to once again sell our bulls in a bull sale. 
We are committed to you the bull buyers, to provide you with the same high quality bulls you  have purchased from us in the past..  Our bulls will sell in the sale much as they have in our private treaty sales….there will be quality bulls for commercial ranchers selling in the same sale as some herd bull prospects. 
Check out the catalog on our website or contact us for a hard copy.  Stay tuned to the website for videos.  They should be up and ready to view by next week.

Thanksgiving Blessing!

Thanksgiving 2014 is one we will always remember!  Our third granddaughter, Nadia Wren was born to our daughter and son-in-law, Anne and Robin.  We are overjoyed and filled with immeasurable gratitude at her safe and healthy arrival! 

Awaiting new calves is exciting and the anticipation a true pleasure but they pale in comparison to the arrival of a precious grandchild!

This little one seems to carry our Dutch heritage as she surprised us with her very blond hair and intensely blue eyes! 

We welcome Nadia to this world and look forward to the days she spends "on the farm" with Grandma and Grandpa.  Perhaps she will join her cousins in the show ring with her very own heifer!

Names….

We in the registered Hereford business or any seed stock business, encounter the challenge of naming your animals, particularly the top end animals.  Picking names is no easy task as many or you know. 

Years ago when Churchill Cattle had our first calf crop, we made the decision to name all of the females Churchill Lady with their tattoo number.   Dale’s parents used the method of naming cow families with fun names like Pearl, Effie, Susie and many more.  This of course allows you to identify a female with a certain cow family and follow that cow family through many generations.  And so, like many children, we wanted to establish our own identity, right or wrong, consequently we chose to forgo the fun cow family names and all our females carry the Churchill Lady name.

Bulls, on the other hand often carry their own name preceded with the Churchill name.  How do you pick a name?  At Churchill, it is much like picking names for our children.  Nancy throws out a name, and Dale gives the Yay or Nay.
  
As many of you know, we are avid New York Yankee fans, and so naming Churchill Yankee was a no-brainer.   The Churchill Sensation bull was actually named by Roger Stuber at our kitchen table right after he bought an interest in the bull.  We had quite a lively discussion over this but in the end, everyone was pleased with the name. 

Churchill Cattle will sell our bulls in a bull sale this year, rather than private treaty as we have done in the past.  So look for these bulls, with special names, in our Jan. 27, 2014 World Class Bull Sale.
