"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

~Hebrews 12: 1-2

Two May Calvers For Sale - SOLD!

Danny has decided to sell two of our May 2012 calvers. I do not have recent pictures of them (hopefully I can find some time here soon, but I do have some old pictures of the two cows for sale.)

They are both three-quartered cows. We don't have any issues with them, but they are due late in the window and they are milking out of three quarters, so we figured we will let them go. We are asking $1,000 a piece for them, because they are due in May (which is only a month away).

If you are interested in either cow, please contact us at amazinggracedairy@gmail.com or call
301-302-6133 and leave a message, because I do not answer numbers I do not recognize.


215 ~ $1,000 Due 5/13/2012
This picture was taken in April of last year right after she freshened.
Her best milk in a lactation to date was 15,633 lbs with an average butterfat of 3.3% and an average protien of 3.1% in 325 days. She is due on May 13, 2012 to an AI breeding to a lineback bull
Rocky-P Red.
(Please keep in mind that we are a seasonal grazing herd and our rolling herd average is 11,500 lbs)

703 ~ SOLD!!

This is an Angus/Jersey cross. She is very even tempered and easy to have around. We milked her as a dairy cow and she did
well for us, but she would make a fine addition to a beef herd as you can see, she keeps more flesh on her back than most dairy cows. This picture was taken in October of 2010.
On her last full lactation, 703 milked 10,659 lbs in 297 days with a 3.8% lactation average butterfat and 3.4% protien. Last year she freshened in May and milked 7,385 lbs in 252 days with an average lactation butterfat of 4.3% and protien averaging 3.2%. (we dried her off with the rest of the herd) (Please keep in mind that we are a grazing herd and our rolling herd average is 11,500 lbs)
She is due on May 23rd and bred to a Dutch Belt/Ayrshire Bull.
She is polled.

I ALSO CURRENTLY have some bull semen available. I am sorting through my semen inventory and realizing I have quite a few bulls, which are nice bulls, but not the direction that we need to go in for our particular farm. They are available at the cost we paid for them, which seems to be a couple dollars cheaper than what they are available for this year. I am not personally able to break up a bull into smaller units because I did not keep my empty canisters. So, unless you have the extra canisters that you are willing to use - I will have to sell all of the units I have for one bull together.

Here they are:

FINISH AYRSHIRES (once sold by Genex-but as of this year they are no longer available)

Record 263AY2724 - 1 straw $11
Piuha 263AY1713 - 10 straws $11/straw

Nigel 190AY9 - 10 straws $20/straw

Holund 252NR10285 - 4 straws $16/straw

AMERICAN LINEBACK from Taurus

Rocky-P Red 76LD551 - 3 straws $10/straw (POLLED)

If you want to have one of your sales guys come pick them up, I am fine with that, but I will need cash at pickup or a check mailed first to make sure it clears before they come.

I have dealt with
Josh Sanders from Taurus
Amos Horst from aAa (he has been here to pick up straws before)
Mark Fleck or Gary Fogel from Genex
and I can't remember the sales rep's name from ABS, but he is a very nice gentleman and has been here once or twice to drop off bull straws. Otherwise you will need to bring your tank to pick it up. We are not likely to be able to deliver unless you happen to be on our way somewhere.

Please email us if you have any questions and we will give you a phone number through e-mail once we verify you are a legitamate person who is serious about purchasing some straws and not some spam or scam.

Totally unrelated to cows, but not so unrelated to things being sold--
