Farms
"Cows"
Our cow herd consist of proven blood lines coming out of established seedstock herds from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. Numerous Trait Leader Bulls are found in our cow's backgrounds, as well as Donor Dams and Dams of Distinction. We are concentrating on females who keep easy, calve easy, breed back on time, have sound functional udders, carry pigmentation, raise quality calves, and have good dispositions.
It would be easy just to show you a few choice pictures and tell you the definition of
the perfect female, then you could assume every cow in our herd fits that description.
The truth is however, that "every" cow in our herd, or any other herd, does not fit the
perfect cow description, but may very well meet many of the desirable characteristics.
In fact, some cows may meet very few, but consistenty produce quality offspring with
the phenotype desired by many seedstock breeders and commercial buyers. It is our
goal to eventually breed, produce and maintain a herd where all our females are close
to exhibiting the ideal phenotype, and be practical, functional cattle. We know we are
on the right track because even though our herd is small, we have been able to produce several Dams of Distinction. Careful purchases, selection, and breeding, are moving Double H Farms in the right direction with every generation.

Herd Calving Seasons: We have two seasons, Spring and Fall.
We currently run about 30 head of moma cows, plus their offspring, a select group of
heifers, and several upcoming bull prospects. Details on our management practices for
our cow herd can be seen by clicking on the purple oval above. Additional links to care
and records pages can be found on "The Herd" page. Many of the cows in our herd have proven trait leader bulls as their sires and grandsires, such as: Stockmaster 512, Feltons Endurance 745, , Basic, Keynote 20X, Network, F243, Feltons 517, Braxton Giant, and Fast Foward to name a few. Some of the outstanding females in our herd can be seen by clicking on their name below. Note: We sold back considerably in 2005/2006
Take a look at some of these outstanding females!
Herd Selection:
Our herd is based upon performance, productivity, and phenotype. The genetics and EPD's will naturally fall in place when we concentrate on the three "P's". We won't choose an animal soley on their EPD merits, as these are not only estimations, but they are sometimes unreliable. If we choose an animal based solely on it's genetics...well we all know about reccessive genes! Then of course, if we choose just the best looking animal in the pasture, it may not breed or milk!
