The cornerstone of our Angus cow herd has been created by Nichols Queen Mother X149, a cow that was bred by Nichols Farms in Bridgewater, Iowa. She is a daughter of P S Sasquatsh 904. Most of the Angus pedigrees at Circle Ranch contain X149.
Her sons have topped bull sales across the state, and her daughters are by far our most productive females.
We still own her at age 19. Although she is not producing now, she has been replaced by her daughter Circle Queen Mother L28, sired by B/R New Design 036. She is our top donor cow for our embryo transfer program.
