Helping The Environment 

At South Valley Shorthorns we are actively trying to help the environment by doing our part of eliminating human waste.  Our cows enjoy various fruits and vegetables which would otherwise go to landfills.

Lot 12 South Valley Beauty Lily Dawn

The females from the Beauty family are highly productive and it is incredibly hard to part with one.  This particular heifer is a Royalla Rockstar who is out of a Diamond Exceptional 2E female, making her 3/4 Australian.  Lily is long and holds loads of eye appeal.  Carrying service to Diamond Lithium Energy 8L.

Lot 29 South Valley Beauty Molly Dawn

Molly is a powerful heifer sired by the Heritage bull Mapleton Grande Fillet M2G and out of the highly prolific Beauty family.  Molly was the second-highest indexing heifer calf at weaning.  Molly's dam is a near-faultless female who has stood out since birth.

South Valley Dorothy's Crocus 134R

Pictured at 18 in 2023.  The foundation female in the South Valley herd.  Influence seen in her daughters and grand daughters. Embryos sired by Saskvalley Pioneer 126P and Royalla Rockstar K274 are being implanted to continue her positive influence.

South Valley Crocus Nellie May 17E

Bill told me before he passed away to look after Nellie May as she is your best cow to date.  I strongly feel that her capacity and ease of fleshing are second to none.  She has had her calves all go on to be breeding stock or retained in my program.  Nellie May is being flushed spring 2024.

South Valley Thornham Crocus

The pride I feel in this female is hard to fathom.  She is a perfect uddered, feminine female that now is owned by Hatfield Shorthorns.  She will see continued influence in our program through embryo transfer.  I have also retained her dam, granddam and maternal sister.

South Valley King 39K

Out of a first calf heifer that is ideal in her phenotype and makeup.  This white bull also has Matlock Crusin' 2H as his sire who is one of the most stylish Shorthorn bulls.  I selected King to retain due to his outstanding maternal line, and his high quality.  His 365 day weight is 1243 lbs. Thank you to Greg and Corine Parker

South Valley Crocus Katie May

The first female to be shown by South Valley Shorthorns since we were in 4H.  Decades of waiting and we have Katie May and she had a very successful first year!  She is the going to be one of the most important building blocks in the South Valley program.
