At the Double
R Ranch we only have a limited amount of pasture, so the animals we select for our foundation stock must be of excellent quality
and proven genetics. Large framed does with good udders and teats, nice toplines and strong pasterns are characteristics we
always look for. Bad mothering tendancies or chronic veterinary care animals are cull factors for us. We also don't believe
in trying to "breed out" undesireable traits from does with different bucks and our experience with that has
been less than acceptable. Starting a breeding program with superior animals always enhances the chances of getting a
better result from your breeding selections.
In the fall of 2009 we bred daughters of T Rex, Magnum, Topbrass, POW, FSE Big
MO and others to outstanding bucks such as Gauge, Eggs Big John, Fix it, Vindicator, Red Racer and more. These breedings should
produce some outstanding progeny in the spring.
