(page 3 of 4)

    Before the technology of A.I was brought to the ranch, the herd bull was of great importance. Over the years, herd sires were purchased from across the nation. In 1933, Revolution B3, a grandson of the great international Grand Champion, Black Revolution and a double great-grandson of the immortal Earl Marshall, was introduced into our herd. other important sire introductions were Woodlawn Duke 3 from Ray Ballhorn of Wetaskawin, Alberta; Great Oaks Bluemar purchased at the Denver Stock Show in 1950, and Blackbird Bell of Whiteway, purchased in Missouri in 1951. "Whitey" was once called the "best quartered bull in the West."

    Heifer purchases included two 30 head carloads from the Sam Henderson herd in Alberta, Canada, 1949 and 1951, large framed females which have proven to be some of the best foundation dams.
