The Thorne Ranch Donors and Cow Herd
It's all about the cow side of the family at this ranch! We breed for females that will continue their legacy in their progeny. We have kept cow families that have proven themselves. We have several in herd that we can show you three to four generations. We still have great and grand Dams still producing in the herd. My Dad always said produce females that are feminine and bulls that are masculine and you will consistently produce fertile cattle. That can go onto reproduce consistent performance genetics.
We don't intentionally breed for steers. Our philosophy is that we will get a few good steers to sell, but if you breed only for steers you will soon loose your maternal and bull power quickly! We want to retain as much cow and bull power as we can produce! Maternal, fertile and moderate framed cows and masculine fertile Bulls are our ultimate goal!
Our cow herd consists of 300 plus top females. A Spring calving herd and Fall calving herd. We register the progeny in the Maine Anjou Association, Angus Association, Simmental Association, Chianina Association and the Braunvieh Association. The cow herd is divided up in three groups, Donors, AI Cows and Recipients. The recipient cows are also producers of high quality calves when cleaned up with our various herd sires. We have added more Maine genetics over the years as they cross well with our other breeds plus they are a breed in demand! We have fed out Maine Cross steers with great success.
We have a rough estimate of 100 Maine & Maintainer Cows and 100 Fullblood/Purebred Braunvieh cows and 100 Angus, Simmental and Angus Cross cows. We retain all our own replacements and offer a few for sale each year.
Our intense Artificial Breeding and Embryo program contributes to the high quality animals that we and the industry requires. All cattle are raised in a natural setting. We don't use hot shots, four wheelers or cowboy our cattle. All our cattle are gentle and will follow you anywhere with a feed bucket! That's important to us and we know our customers appreciate the great dispositions of our cattle.
We raise cattle like we would like to buy for ourselves.. If they won't perform for us they aren't good enough for our customers either!
