Maine-Anjou Herd Sires

TLC/TLCC Turk S6103 ET 2006-2021

Turk the "Legend"

We used a clean Irish Whiskey son called Wild Turkey when we started using Maine's in our embryo program.  Turk lived to be 15 and half years at Thorne Ranch and his impact on our herd is evident in our pastures of progeny he produced.  He produced both herd sires and replacement females that have stood the test of time. 


TLCC Turk S6103 ET  Reg# MA361288 is sired by Wild Turkey and still the base of our Maine-Anjou herd today and he is still shelling them out.  Campaigned heavily by partners Diamonds in the Rough.  He was shown in Louisville, Denver, Houston, Ft Worth, Kansas City and Tulsa OK.  


Turk graced the show rings in 2007-2008 as Show Bull of the year 2008-2009 - Show Sire of Year 2010 and 2011.  Turks great disposition and predictable ability to produce beautiful udders on his daughters and very fertile son's will be carried on by his 135 progeny produced here at Thorne Ranch and several other herds including Diamonds In the Rough of Oologah, OK our partners.  He spent his entire life here except when he was being hauled and promoted by Mike Runner and the Diamonds family.  He was born in 2006 as an ET Calf.  We knew he was set to be something special the day he was born.  He was born  50 yards from where we laid him to rest in October of 2021.   

  • One of his key features was his movement that every judge that ever saw him in the show ring said, " He was the freest moving animal they had seen all day."  He was very sound, square and natural muscle expression.  Thick and pretty fronted. We kept several son's and we now we have grandson's doing a bang up job improving our herd every breeding.   Semen is very limited.  We have semen on son, TLC/TLCC MAX Brer Rabbit available for Sale. 


Turk Son's 

 

  • TCL Turks Rex a 25% Percentage Simmental and 25% Maine.  488715   (His dam was TLC/TCL Picassos Patty P4124 Sire: Picasso (SM) x TLC Black Verona M100 A Veronica x Black Icon.  A 2004 Model she was finally culled when she was 14 years of age.
  • TLCC Max B'rer Rabbit C5367 a 5/8 Maine 476554 and his Dam is a Veronica daughter named TLCC Molasses sired by CMCC Hardcore.
  • TLC/TCL Turks Bart U83dual registered Braunvieh and Simmental.  We have semen on him and he was also an added attraction sire in Genex.  Creates beautiful baldys.  Heterzygous Black and homozygous polled.  Semen Available.  He is sire to TLC/TCL Barts Bandit.  We use on all heifers with great calving ease.  
  • TLC/TLCC Turks Bricktown H0359 a 5/8 Braunvieh and 1/4 Maine bull that may be a big improvement for several programs, including ours.  His dam is an old show heifer TLC Starwars Britt X1272, who has shelled out three full sisters to him in our herd.  Beautiful udders and definitely keepers.  We hopefully have another one on the way in 2022. We shared this stick out from birth with our friends, Oxtoby Cattle Co.  We promoted him in Tulsa to Grand Champion Beefbuilder Bull and Reserve Grand Champion Bull at the Cattlemen Congress in 2022.  Watch for semen for sale very soon.  Commercial Packages available.  He will put a pretty on them and have calving ease like his sire.  Contact Us or John Oxtoby for semen for sale. 

Turk Grandson's

  • TLC/TCL Barts Bandit is sired by TCL/TLC Turks Bart U8393 and dam is TLCC Polly P4126 a BK Polled Plus x half Angus and Braunvieh Cow K2092.  He is currently producing some very functional and pretty cattle.   He also puts that white face on them.  Homzygous Black and homozygous polled. 
  • TCL/TLC Cutters Casper is sired by Flying B Cutter (Flying B Cut Above or Fatt But) and out of a TLC/TCL Bart daughter named  TLC Barts Anna B4260 , her dam is sired by Star Power x TLC Anna F6496 ET.  Casper calves continue to impress us with calving ease, growth and eye appeal.   He's our heifer bull and we are very happy with his great disposition like his Daddy. 
  • TLCC/TCL One Good Dude is sired by TLC/TLCC Max B'rer Rabbit C5367 and out of an awesome daughter of TCL Chops Emory Z2125 (His sire: ZKCC Chopper by Steel Force) x TLC/TRI  Heidi Wave U8112 ET a Heat Wave x Turks momma TLC/TRI Whoa Girl N3100.  He is line bred and wow did it work.  Top and bottom both go back to N3100 who we based a entire cow herd around.  He is with his first group of Glock 2nd calf heifers and he is one that really stands out in the bull pen.  He's the next super star!


Turk Daughters

His daughters are great and their longevity is evident when you learn that Turks dam TLC/TRI Whoa Girl was still in production at 17 years of age, with a beautiful udder and sound footed.  His granddam Purebred TLC Black Bev K2386 was also in our herd at 17 years of age.  She is the base of several in our herd.  Her daughter, TLCC Suh's Bev Y1300 is the dam of TLC/TCL Micks Gator J1231 that is owned by Lauren Bockel. He will be heavily promoted as Beefbuilder and dual registered Simmental  for her Simbra herd.


Our Maine-Anjou sires all have consistent calving ease.  We select for good udders, maternal, fertility and longevity in our cow herd of Maintainer females.  
We select our herd sires from Dams that have longevity in their genes. Maine's that milk! We keep them half to a quarter Maine to keep the show ring style and great performance.  Stop by and see our sires and the Maine cowherd.
