Crown Prince 920 1/2 National Beefmaster Bull Championship 2006 Grand Champion 2007 SR. Reserve Champion
Needless to say, the friends that thought we were crazy last year to haul a SR bull to Tunica, thought we had lost our minds when we told them we were going to enter Crown Prince again, this time almost eight! We decided the worst that could happen is he would be beaten by a younger bull, and sure enough, Thunder Valley had some tremendous young bulls that took Grand Champion, and Reserve Grand Champion. We can live with that. We did however, win our class, and Crown Prince, moving a littler slower down the aisle this year, was SR. Reserve Champion! Several people told us they were glad we brought him because he actually looked better in person! the rest of this heart warming story . . . 2009 Wild Oaks is now proud to introduce
ADvantage 1/2 (Soul Man x HF SHady Lady) National Beefmaster Bull Championship 2009 Reserve SR. Champion Several people have told us they think ADvantage is one of the top three young bulls in the breed today! He has excellent bone, testicular development, great spring of rib and natural expression of muscle. I think you'll appreciate the strength of his top line and his overall balance. We expect ADvantage to become one of the premier polled bulls of our breed. His dam, Homestead's Shady Lady (293 cow family) has been a tremendous donor for us, and we've retained three full sisters in the herd. We named him ADvantage, because we think he'll AD whatever you need to your herd! There are a number of clean polled Black Beefmaster Bulls, but we've all been waiting for a RED POLLED bull of this quality. We pulled him out of the bull pasture three months before the futurity. He's never been halter broke, but after a week he was gentle enough in a pen to be brushed by hand. Wild Oaks is flushing our top donors to this young bull, and look forward to his first calf soon out of a Sex Appeal granddaughter.$100/straw, no minimums. JBBA members $50.00/straw. As with all Wild Oaks Bulls, Wild Oaks will donate 100 straws to the JBBA Semen Pool.
Sophia Loren (8/5 Soul Man x Lady Tiger)
After having a tremendous Ace in the Hole bull calf, we thought this young cow deserved a try as a donor. A flushmate to my favorite donor, 13/5 Kathryn Hepburn, Sophie was Jim William's second favorite heifer in the Cream of the Crop Heifer futurity. She was just flushed to Cottage Farm's Sugar Britchs (Captain Sugar x Oasis). A light dose of FSH yielded 42 embryos, 32 transferable.

I just can't express what an impact this we think Vanity Fair is going to make to the Wild Oaks Farms program and the Beefmaster breed, but here's her natural Soul Man calf, at four months to give you an idea. We think Vanity Fair is the epitome of what a Beefmaster cow should be, and I think you'll agree she is one of the most beautiful donors in the Beefmaster breed.
Cottage Farms sold three
Vanity Fair
heifers for a total of $26,000 at their
Production Sale in July. Paul Hill purchased a black bred heifer, Ted
Cain an open red heifer, and Davin Vaughn & Paul Castleman a black
open heifer. We wish them all tremendous luck with females that we think
will be trend setters for the Beef Toby and I especially want to thank Cottage Farms for using such a tremendous cow for their lead sale offering. We realize what a sacrifice it is to lose a female of this quality from the herd. Vanity Fair was flushed to Jackpot about a week before the sale. We asked Rick and Scott if we could purchase those embryos, and with a smile Rick said, "We've got them all in". Can't blame them for that! We'll have to make our own this fall.
MY SOUL VANITY at 4 months
News Worthy . . . . This article that appeared in the June 18th issue of Ozarks Farm & Neighbor - Arkansas. We really enjoyed the interview, and of course, we enjoyed talking "Beefmaster Cattle"!
Building Success on Success
By Amber
Parham
Cattlemen in the Southeast like black cattle, and the Fortes are
developing a black Beefmaster herd without sacrificing quality or
breed traits. "This process has been slow because we do not want to
sacrifice any quality for color," Cherryl said.
“Our farm
is Johne’s free”, Cherryl said. They recently participated in
the state-funded Johne’s testing program. She also said that the key
to good, healthy cattle are mineral supplements. They practice
regular de-worming, vaccinations and use a combination of minerals,
permethrin and ear tags to control flies. "We are also very
fortunate to have two outstanding local veterinarians who work with
us," Cherryl said.
One of
the most effective feeding practices the Fortes use is keeping cows
with similar needs together. “A first calf heifer won’t get in
there and fight at the feed trough with the other cows,” Cherryl
explained. Wild Oaks Farm also groups the cows according to
lactation cycle, and feed range cubes and creep when needed. While
building their seedstock operation, they have started contracting
the hay and grazing their hay land.
Their embryologist is Dale Whitaker, of Geiger AL, whom Cheryl said
is “the best in the business”. Their success rate supports their
claim with an 83 percent pregnancy rate on their best flush and an
overall average of 65 percent to 68 percent. This month Wild Oaks Farm will start carcass ultrasound testing in their breeding stock. The data will be a breeding development tool since it provides an actual IMF (intramuscular fat) and rib eye score, unlike EPDs based on predictability. Toby and Cherryl travel across the nation to buy the best donor females they can find. “We are developing one of the strongest Beefmaster herds in the nation. Our main focus is to increase farm profitability by developing those traits in our commercial and purebred cattle," Cherryl said. They also have access to one of the best bulls in the US. Their herd bull, Crown Prince 920, was the 2006 National Beefmaster Bull Grand Champion.
Please note that these are not the cow photos originally published in the article. Wild Oaks Farm's commitment to quality Black Beefmaster Cattle At Wild Oaks, we've built our program on cattle with structural correctness, fertility, productivity and beautiful bags! Once we were comfortable with Prince's impact on the herd, we turned our focus on finding the best Black Beefmaster Genetics available. We have used Soul Man and Jackpot extensively in our herd and we're having incredible calves. A large number of the CJ Soul Man x CJ Second to None 208 calves are show on this web site. Watch for the future impact of these calves on the breed.
Soul Man, a bull of destiny Clark Jones' 2003 World Cup Winner, Soul Man, is a bull of destiny. Soul Man's extensive use to the top cows in the breed over the last three years, is living proof that Fate has a sense of humor. Few Beefmaster bulls have had the opportunity to make their mark of the breed in such a definitive way. For those breeders attempting to meet the cattle industry's demand for clean, complete, black Beefmaster cattle, his offspring have set the bar. We believe his daughters are an investment in the future. Look for his calves on our future pages, we're building our herd on the productivity of his offspring. We currently have over 50 Soul Man calves on the ground, giving us around 65 head of Soul Man cattle. We have selectively bought his best daughters over the last two years. We believe his progeny, crossed with Crown Prince 920 and Jackpot, will answer the contemporary cattleman's needs. For more great cattle from clark jones , check out jonesbeefmasters.com
