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

Reserve Mainetainer at Texas Maine/Chi Preview Show

ZNT American Honey 002Y was named Reserve Champion Mainetainer at the Texas Maine/Chi Preview Show this weekend. Great job to Natalie Mai for showing this September born GVC Fortune & Glory x CTR Sweet Success 2 heifer. We are very excited about the new home this heifer will be going to.

Good Luck to Will Babler

Thank you to Will Babler for purchasing ZNT Rihanna 103Y.  She is a super fancy Montego Bay heifer our of our CTR Sweet Success 2 donor cow.  She can compete in both the Mainetainer and Chi divisions.

Montego Bay Steer Prospect

October Montego Bay x CTR Sweet Success steer prospect. Many more steer and heifer prospects arriving through the spring.

Latest Montego Bay Offspring Pics

Here are a few fall born heifers that were all sired by Montego Bay.  The first two were born unassisted out of first calf heifers, and the third is an embryo calf out of our CTR Sweet Success 2 (Success x Traveler 6807) donor cow.  Montego Bay is not only a tested and proven easy calving sire, but as you can see from the pictures, he is stamping them the tons of muscle and hair, and loaded with style and soundness.  Contact SEK, Cattle Vision, or Bull Barn Genetics to place your semen order for this spring.

Spring Offering Preview

Here is the first of our summer and fall born embryo calves that we will be getting ready to sell this spring.  This heifer is a July born, dual registered Mainetainer and Chimaine out of GVC Fortune and Glory and our CTR Sweet Success 2 donor cow.  You can catch this heifer in our show string at Ft. Worth.

2011 Embryo Calf Preview

Had a great trip to Gladewater, TX to see several of our embryo calves at Paul Fowler's.

ZNT American Hope

Natalie had a great time at the 2011 Ft Worth Stock Show with this daughter of CMAC Hardcore and our CTR Sweet Success donor cow. This 3/4 sib to Jenna is going to make a great addition to our herd, and she makes us very excited about the embryos we have due this fall out of "Sweetie."

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.

Picture Day at ZNT Cattle Co

Spring time is almost upon us, and the mud has mostly cleared up, so that made today a perfect day to get pictures of some of our cattle here at ZNT Cattle Co. First up was Montego Bay, our Tyson promotion sire out of our ZNT Jenna 707T heifer. He is 8 1/2 months old in this picture. New video can be found on Montego Bay's page.

Second up was ZNT American Hope. She is a Hardcore daughter out of our CTR Sweet Success 2 donor cow. She was born on September 11, 2009. This maintainer heifer is going to be very competitive this coming fall.

Lastly, we have a yearling bull we just put up on our For Sale page. He is an April 2009 5/8 Maine bull sired by ZNT Triple X. He is low birthweight bull raised by the Kaz Family.
