This cow has a wonderful pedigree and is an excellent cross with Purple Sage. She has been one of our top foundation cows and is an excellent producer.
She has an Easy Street KK daughter, owned by Terry Brown, Brown Brother's Cattle Company, Ripley, OH and a son of The Shadow, Shadow Jet, owned by Albert Imel, Princeton, KS.
Her 2002 bull by Purple Sage, Purple Jet, owned by Langham Ranch, Houston, TX, placed 2nd in the 2003 Horn Showcase and missed 1st place by a mere 5/8".
She has a fabulous 2005 Purple Sage bull named Sage's Reflection, that is owned by the partnership of Dakota Longhorns, Worthing, SD and Poppen Longhorns, Rochester, MN that placed 2nd at the 2006 Horn Showcase.
We are retaining her Purple Sage 2006 heifer, Mirror Image, as a replacement heifer. Whelma Jet is very gentle, loves range cubes and has a perfect udder. She measures mid 60's tip to tip and 70's for total horn.
She had a 2007 bull by Roundup's Purple Sage that is a full brother to Purple Jet, Sage's Reflection and Mirror Image. Once again, he's bigger than any other calf in the pasture, is beginning to roan and is putting on early horn. Another trip to Ft. Worth next fall?? We wouldn't be surprised. He is definitely a herd sire prospect!
Whelma Jet is once again being bred to Purple Sage for spring 2008.
