Fall 2010 Bethany Prairie Highland Sales





It was love at first sight for Matea Nelson and Bella, Linda's bottle calf






Dick Grotberg and Jadon Krivoruchka became the oldest and the youngest Scottish Highland breeders in the state. Jadon's dad Roy came along to drive.
Eleven year old Jadon started his herd with 2 cows, 3 heifer calves and 2 bull calves. Jadon picked out the animals himself and he knew exactly which ones he wanted!

Some of the 2010 calves are Scottish Highland/Red Angus crosses from cows that we purchased from  Cass Aarstad a year ago
Before winter set in for good, we sold 39 head to Chad Peterson, Newport, NE, and delivered them to Phil Jerde in South Dakota

The Jerde children entertained their parents and you know who else!


I couldn't resist adding a few pictures of the cows on the fall pastures. Taking pictures of the Highlands is like taking pictures of  the mountains, you never get tired of looking at them and there is always just one more photo!
