Cow Buying Opportunity - SOLD

Our family has made the decision to sell some of our foundation cows.  These cows have been the framework to ZNT, but with so much of their genetics within our herd, we feel it is a good time to pass these genetics on while these cows have productive years remaining.  Most of these cows have been flushed by us. All cows are registered Maine, and all do, or can have Chi papers.  Cows can be purchased individually, or as a package deal.

Contact Zane Mai for any questions about cows or pricing.  817-233-9357

Maine Calving Ease Sires

The cattle industry is at a crossroads and the Maine Anjou breed specifically.  We (ZNT Cattle) have strived for years to produce Maine Anjou cattle with moderate birth weights, superior maternal characteristics, and free of genetic defects yet are still able to compete in the show ring and on the rail.  We feel Montego Bay and Triple X are the culmination of our herd direction.

Montego Bay's first calf crop has exceeded our expectations with his ability to produce low birth weights and calving ease without compromising muscle and style.  He has consistently stamped his calves with a look and hair that will catch your eye.  Calves have been averaging in the 60-70 pound range out of heifers and 70-80 pound range out of cows. Blood lines and the structural correctness in the calves tell us that his females should go on to make excellent replacement females and bull calves should be marketable as either bulls or show steers.  Our observations are that he is a perfect match for medium to large framed heifers and cows.  More information about Montego Bay {here} and click {here} for past blogs and pictures of calves.

Triple X's true value is now being realized as heifers out of him enter production themselves.  He has proven himself as a heifer-safe sire that provides that extra performance and style.  Offspring have been very competitive in the show ring and are now just as competitive in the pasture as cows.  Birth weights have been in the 60-80 pound range but he provides a smooth shoulder that makes him not just a low birth weight bull, but provides true calving ease.  He is a great match for small to medium framed cattle and cattle that need that extra look.  More information about Triple X can be found {here} and click {here} for past blogs related to Triple X.

January 3/4 Maine Bull - Latest Pics

Here are the latest pictures of our January 3/4 Maine son of GVC Suh and our JAZX Audrey 352N donor cow. With an 81# birth weight, a solid black color pattern, and a clean TH and PHA defect status, this makes him a great candidate for any commercial herd or operation looking to raise amazing replacement heifers.  Sells fertility guaranteed.

Price:  $3000 for full possession and full semen interest.

Contact Zane for any questions about him, or any other cattle we have for sale.

Rancher's Christmas Present

Don't look past this bull because he is younger than the rest of the bulls we have offered through the fall.  This January 2012 bull is loaded with the same great genetics, but just a couple of months younger.  He is a polled 3/4 Maine embryo calf out of GVC Suh, and our JAZX Audrey donor cow.  With an 81# birth weight, tons of muscle, and a pedigree loaded with maternal genetics, he will be a versatile bull in any operation.  And just like all the sires we offer, he is TH and PHA Free.  Price is $3,000.

GVC Suh ET Calves

Thank you Paul Fowler for sending us these pictures of the latest GVC Suh calves out of our Jenna and Audrey donor cows.

Thank You Dennis Garwood

I would like to thank Dennis Garwood or Green Valley Cattle for selling us a semen package of GVC Suh semen 2 years ago.  We used the Suh semen on a couple of flushes, and the calves have exceeded our expectations.  Both the bull and heifer calves are loaded with muscle, soundness, softness, and overall marketability.

Since our Suh bull calves will not be old enough to be used for breeding season this spring, make sure to check out Dennis' Big Picture Genetics bull sale in Atikinson, NE on March 3rd.  Our powerhouse Suh bulls will be ready for breeding this fall, and a select set of show heifer prospects out of our Jenna and Audrey donor cows will be available all through the spring.

Our Herd and Our Focus

After reading a post of "Chambero's" on www.steerplanet.com the other day, I was inspired to go out and get some candid pictures of our herd and discuss our goals and direction of our herd.

For the most part, our base cow herd is comprised of Maine and Chi influence cattle.  Even though a large portion of our calf sales each year are comprised of show prospects, the decisions we make on a daily basis is focused on traits that are good for the commercial producer and the beef industry as a whole.  We concentrate on muscle, structural soundness, fertility, maternal traits, and moderate birthweights, all in an eye appealing package.

Here are a few pictures of our two cow families, and really, they could be consided one since both JAZX Audrey 352N and CTR Sweet Success 2 are both sired by the Chiangus bull CTR Success, but it's the dam side that is the difference.
