Whisper Crossing Ranch Joy Ann

Joy Ann by Gunman x Joyful
DOB 9-2-1997
Shown here at 6 years old with her 2004 Tin Horn heifer at side.

History was made this past weekend at the Legacy II Sale

where a Texas Longhorn cow sold for the

record breaking bid of $100,000. Only minutes later a cow sold for $150,000!

There were 100 excellent cows consigned to the sale. Ours was positioned at Lot #96.

We were a little nervous with that placement but were reassured by other breeders

that a good cow sells well no matter what. And so she did.

Joy Ann was among the highest selling lots, bringing $50,000 at the

Legacy II Longhorn Sale 18 March, Fort Worth, Texas.

Joy Ann was born September 2, 1997. sire: Gunman x dam: J.R. Joyful.A great example of Ron Jones breeding, we've owned Joy Ann since she was 5 months old. She has raised 5 excellent calves for us. We are retaining the heifer at side, above. Victoria Joy, sired by Tin Horn, is 19 months old. Joy Ann's heifers have always been in demand. Ron Jones and Kent Bladen have one each. Her first bull calf is a herd sire for Larry Barker of Johnstown, Colorado. We have retained her second son. Butch & Kelly Guerin have successfully done our embryo work at their Mountain Creek Ranch in Saint Jo, Texas.
