NWSS &
Hospitality Room at Hotel VQ - The NWSS was a blast! If you weren't there you missed out
on a good time. The new headquarters hotel made for party central. Our Galloway family was able to dine together, drink together
and laugh the night away in the hospitality room. The fellowship was badly needed and thoroghly enjoyed by all. The Canadians
know how to party - It was great to seem our old friends Clay & Kathy Salter and laugh our selves silly with Clay's humor.
Thanks to all whom participated in the Ultrasound testing - results are posted on AGBA web site. This keeps substantiating
our breed claims of highly marbled - with little or no backfat carcasses. Thanks go out to the Dykstra's for their support
of hospitality efforts following the show and set up of the AGBA display in the building. We had a TEAM at the show and we
all worked together to promote Galloways.
When we discuss the show; I have shown cattle
for a few years now and I have NEVER seen the quality of cattle we had there this year. Extreamly powerful cattle - females
and bulls a like. My congrat's to all. This will rachet up the competition for next year. Thanks to Harley Blegen for exhibiting
in the Herd Sire Display and handing out AGBA Materials and American Cattlemen Magazines with our Full Page Ad in them. We
made a splash in Denver!
If you have ever thought of attending the NWSS please join the
party, support your breed there is always lots to do to bring a show together. Make plans for next year!
The Ranch has had an amazing calving season!
We've
had 18 heifers and four bull calves. We have a very nice selection of females for you to add to your herd or start a new one!
Give us a call - we'd love to build you a package (package prices when you buy more than one!) We also have 2 White bulls
available. One is DD Ranch's Warehouse - he is 2.5 years old and DD Ranch's Xponent - he is now 1.5 years old. Ready to work!
When time is permitting, we can help with hauling depending how far away you are. Open to the idea of "meeting in the
middle!"
The DD
Ranch
We are very proud to breed the finest Galloway Cattle we can provide todays cattle industry. With
the new diversification into Percentage Lowline Cattle we believe
that we can offer something for everyone.
Both Galloway and Lowline function very well
on grass and are a very efficient fed beef product. With today's feed costs spiraling out of control, the budget needs to
"pencil."
We utilize
"Bovigen Technology" to identify Feed Efficiency. Our herd bulls
have All 8 Stars for Feed Efficiency. We also test for Marbling/Quality & Tenderness. These are tools to
help you know more precisely what you are adding to your herd besides Strong Conformation.
Galloway
cattle are "Back to Basics" in Moderate Mature Cattle size. Our percentage Lowline cattle are the avenue many
breeders will want and need to make a dramatic change in the over all frame size of a commercial herd in one breeding season.
