Thorne Ranch Steer breaks a 25 year old Record on Rate of Gain in New Mexico. Jaden Jones from Sorcorro New Mexico purchased TLC Major Moneyman Steer from us last year. He was TLCC Tina's first calf. ( DJ Titan x TLC Whoa Girl) His average rate of gain was 4.127 pounds per day on a 189 day feedout. He weighed in on Feb 20, 2010 and weighed 1470 on September 2, 2010. That says something about the feeding ability on our Maine cross calves. Congratulation Jaden and Family! We are happy you won the Buckle and Plaque.
