Check out Jimmie's Cattle

Spring 2009 at the South Texas State Fair in Beaumont, Texas.
This was a first for all of us --Taylor, and the heifer, Mazey, and me.
We had quite a good time, and I thought both Taylor and Mazey had a blue
ribbon day. Taylor thought it was a major plus to be the only
person in her breed. She showed Mazey all by herself in her own
group, and Mazey and Taylor took home the Blue Ribbon. I just love
the expressions on both Taylor and Mazey in these photos, click the
thumbnail to get a good luck at those two pretty girls.

Summer 2008 this group of mostly heifers were not in the least spooked
by their new visitors on the fourth of July.
Oftentimes, small children will spook a herd of cattle, even British
Whites, and have them scattering to the four winds, but not this herd of
British Whites. They are just as curious as this little toddler. |

My sister helping me out this summer 2007 with taking some great photos of
my Gabbie and Buddy Boy's charming litter of pups. Wow, Gabbie had 9
of these cute little pups, and only one boy in the bunch! Amazingly, all
of them found good homes after much time and lots of sweat in the Walmart
parking lot. |
 
Morris Halliburton visiting me and my herd in August 2006, his advice is
always good, always welcome, and his friendship a treasure. That
black cow is Bella, she's a Brangus/Holstein geriatric cow and I really
have to let her go, but it's tough, she's been a good mother and had
nothing but heifers for me, and all of them sell as soon as they're
weaned, they always have her build and a striking motley mix of British
White color. |

approachable.
 My sweet niece, Taylor, getting to know the cows
in the fall of 2001. Sure do
miss her when she's gone.
Update 12/03 - Taylor is now an
excellent hand on the ranch. She spent all of the past summer with
me and her favorite thing to do was cut out a few cows. She has a
gift for working with them.

Biilly Tolar, owner of
Tolar's
Feed in Woodville, taking a break after feeding. Couldn't have made it
through the winter of 2001 without all his gracious help. And he's been there to lend a helping hand many times since.

Bob Stanley delivering my first herd
bull, Doc, in the summer of 2001. Doc was my first British White and he
was awfully lonesome for Bob and some cow company for a few weeks.
He's looking pretty lean here from coming off of a late spring breeding season.
Bob Stanley passed away in the
fall of 2003, and he is missed. He was excited and passionate about
British White cattle and was intent on raising them through his retirement
years. He has left some fine animals for us all to work with.

Morris Halliburton delivering my first group of cows
in the summer of 2001. Doc
was sure happy to see them! I'm happy to know that the ranch is
now cleaned up - it looks like they're embarking into a jungle! |

British
White Cattle - Born Gentle, Stay Gentle, and you can't ask for more in
fertility, milkiness, calving ease, low birth weights, and
hardiness..........
