You should see the Raider now. She is BIG and framey and is impressing
recent visitors. She is due to calve to a herd bull in Feburary, I am
pretty excited. If she matures like I hope I don't beleive 92-93 points is
out of the question. David Wolf told me the skyfames had smoothed up the
last time he saw them. Was curious how they are now? His 2 year old
daughters are not impressive, yet suddenly as 2 and 3rd calvers they turn
into really nice cows. Regards,
David Day
The Raider cow looks fantastic!, I worked at Larry Jeromes for a year and
whilst there he purchased Lee Elly 3/4 siter i think to the Raider. She was
a fantastic calf and calved out nicely and I believe nshe went 86 point 2
yr old.
