CSF Rutherford (Rusty) is a broad, rugged, heavily muscled yearling bull sired by GOF Ralph, an outstanding Scottish type bull used for many years in the 1980’s by LEA-White Farms. His dam is a stout, heavy milking, cow from Gray Owl’s bull, GH Mr Chips, sire of the Grand Champion Bull, Gray Owl’s Bearach. Rusty has been pastured raised in Minnesota and has successfully covered several cows in his yearling year. In addition to his considerable physical attributes, Rusty is a well-mannered bull with an excellent disposition. For more information, click HERE.

Many thanks to Mat and Kerie Olson of Round Tuit Farm for their purchase of CSF Halvdan the Black at the NCHCA Production Sale on June 24, 2017. We expect he will be happy in his new home grazing that good SE Minnesota grass.

Halvdan is a correct, long bodied, well-mannered two year old bull sired by Flatheads Glen Moray, a top notch Montana bred bull noted for his exceptional performance on grass. Glen is the sire of the outstanding young bull, LEA Heremon and many fine LEA females.

Further back in his pedigree you will find the names of Glen Haven, Trafalgar, Drover Hill, Reiman, Glen Osprey, LEA White and Schon Boden.
