TCL Habernos Huck 3071002 Half Blood Simmental Sire: Haberno Y81 by BMR Explorer son by Westfall Voyager. Dam: TLC 8005 W9104 ET Quarter Angus (New Day 8005) Quarter FB Braunvieh TLC Buds Betsy P4154 Donor OB51080
Huck with his dam TLC 8005 W9104 ET
He was one of those calves that just stood out of the pack! His granddam TLC Buds Betsy P4154 was full sister to National Show Heifer of the Year TLC Buds Star R5150. So adding him to the herd meant keeping good looks and udder quality. He was an experiment in our breeding program to keep them half Simmental, quarter Angus and quarter Braunvieh. It has worked and daughters are keepers. Early maturing and easy keepers with those beautiful udders we hoped to get.
Huck summer 2021
We have used in herd on several of our Simmental/Maine/Angus cows. He has calving ease and his calves gain well also. Keeping several daughters as replacement base herd. His daughters were bred to Flying B Cutter and WCS Glock daughters. He grew up to be a massive bull!

Huck is kind of stuck on himself and thinks he is the king of the pasture.

TCL Mick Son sent to Repeat Buyer Tyson Rogers
TCL Sam I Am K2355 Reg Number 4282523 was selected out of the Spring calves last year by Tyson when he purchased 10 heifers for replacements. He would need a young bull to put on them and he asked for our opinion on the best calf we had! It wasn't hard to pick out Sam above the rest! So we kept him and halter broke him and he picked him up in February 2024. We want to keep track of this guy for sure!
