Dawn - Bruce Kuehl
At 15 years of age, Dawn seems to keep going. In July 2011, she was raised to EX-91 and made 4E. She has produced over 11,782 pounds of fat and over 252,565 pounds of milk and keeps producing. Dawn has 10 records over 1,000 pounds of fatt. After 1,412 days in milk on the same lactation, we flushed her in December 2010 to Regancrest Braxton and she produced 3 embryos. On October 4, 2011, a Braxton heifer was born! Dawn has seen the show string starting her career as Junior Champion at the District Show. She has also been a Dry Cow class winner and Res. All-Missouri. From this family we have produced Excellent and Very Good animals and also consigned several to various sales. Dawn is truly a Missouri cow. We purchased S-of-O Matt Peter Dark from the Missouri Spring Sale as a bred heifer. Dark has proved to be a tremendous brood cow. A flush to To-Mar Blackstar produced 5 Blackstar daughters. They all went on to be either Very Good or Excellent, one of which was Best-Sunrise Blackstar Dahia-ET. Another full sister to Dahia was Best-Sunrise Blackstar Dark 4E-92 who went on to produce over 268,000 pounds of milk. Dawn’s history is backed to Missouri dairy farmers!
We are proud to nominate Dawn as our 2011 Cow of the Year!
At the Texas County Farm Expo this year, Dawn helped around 240 4th grade children learn about dairy cattle. They were able to touch and feel a real cow and heard about how milk goes from the farm to the store.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Congratulations to Tucker Peterson on all his showmanship winnings and Caleb Peterson on his success with Kulp-Gen Sam Carrie. Thanks to everyone who has worked on the “Ram-Elle crew” at all the shows. Thanks and best of luck to all who purchased Ram-Elle animals this year.

She Wasn’t Even Entered!
TOECKY MAURICE SYRIANNA VG-88
Syrianna wasn’t even entered at the Missouri State Fair this year. She took the place of the 2-yr old that was scratched at the last minute. So.... she was pulled from the milking herd, clipped and the next day went to the State Fair where she won the 5-Yr old Class. The true beauty of this is she last calved June 10, 2010, went dry Sept. 25, 2011 and is due the first of December. She, her daughter Toecky Derek Shannon and Toecky Anna-Neis Sanchez went on to be Res. All-Missouri Best Three Females.
Not bad for a cow that wasn’t even supposed to go! We have 3 Red bulls for sale:
