Who's Your Momma?

I've been doing "Who's Your Daddy" for the past couple of weeks and now here's a little bit from the dam side of the equation.

Talking about dams is harder than talking about sires because a lot of them don't have names, and even if they did, most people wouldn't recognize them.  So Page 590-228 has no reference point for us until we know that she is a Broke Back V daughter and the dam to Mossy Oak Mudslinger. Oh yeah.  That's who she is.   

So here's a little info on some of the cows and where they fit in the lineage.  The cow's name/number is in parentheses after the name of her son.

  • A Whitewater daughter is dam to Black Pearl. (SJR 49)
  • A Whitewater daughter is dam to Bones. (TBB AS 13)
  • A Whitewater daughter is dam to Bad Blake. (MO 135)  
  • A Broke Back V daughter is dam to Amy's Pet (Vickers W8) 
  • Broke Back V daughter is dam to Mossy Oak Mudslinger (Page 590-228)
  • An A6 daughter is dam to Crossfire Hurricane (Page 755-113)
  • An A6 daughter is dam to Chance.  (Page 718)
  • A Naccarato's Oscars Velvet daughter is dam to 211 Iron Horse (GRC W80) 
  • A Naccarato's Oscars Velvet daughter is dam to Reindeer.   (AN 11)
  • A Kish's Lock and Load daughter is dam to Priceless.  (TBB K327)
  • A Kish's Velvet Hour daughter is dam to Rusty Zipper.  (TBB K351)
  • A Kish's Wolfman daughter is dam to Braveheart. (Zena )
  • A Moody Blues daughter is dam to Grey Squirrel.  (JC 335)
    • A Houdini daughter is dam to I'm a Gangster.  (High X23 Boo Hoo)
    • A Roughwater daughter is dam to Silver Wings.  (Page 136-117)
    • A Bodacious daughter is dam to Say When. (Bow Tilly)
    • A Skat Kat daughter is dam to Charlie Bullware.   (Butlers Kat Ballou)
    • A Skat Kat daughter is dam to Hank.  (Diamond S SA 110)
    • Hargis 935 is dam to Blueberry Wine. 
    • A Gunslinger daughter is dam to El Presidente.  (Hargis 591)
    • A Mossy Oak Mudslinger daughter is dam to Train Wreck.  (Page 25-140)

    There are other ways to talk about dams, using information from the ABBI's Production Dams by Competition Stats.  It might also be useful to have a complete list of the bulls that have produced daughters that have produced successful sons.  But that's light years beyond my pay-grade.
