Females
At the heart of our herd are our foundation females—cows that define the quality, consistency, and longevity of our program. Each female is selected for her structural soundness, fertility, and maternal ability, ensuring that every calf carries forward the traits that matter most: growth, disposition, and performance.
Our females excel in real-world conditions, thriving through seasonal changes and contributing to both the pasture and the sale pen. Through careful breeding, their influence is amplified across generations, producing bulls and replacements that carry their strength, consistency, and functionality.
From cornerstone cows like H4, whose progeny include herd sires and productive daughters, to emerging stars like H288, each female plays a critical role in shaping the next generation. Together, they form the backbone of our herd—reliable, productive, and poised to impact the cattle industry for years to come.
Lady Justified H4 Helping Lead the Herd
H4 is a cornerstone female in our herd, consistently proving her value through generations. Pictured here with her calf, with grand dam F27 and her calf in the background on the right, H4 represents the kind of maternal strength and longevity we strive to build. She’s shown in the middle with her winter coat on. On the left in a calving pasture alongside N132, a bull out of H4, demonstrating the consistency, fertility, and functionality that define this cow family. The influence of H4 runs deep, as Sire L82 is also out of H4, further solidifying her impact on our program through both her sons and daughters.

Lady Hand J46
Austin says it best “J46 always knows how to look pretty in the springtime.” She is another one of our top performing females in the herd.
Lady Hand F27
Above is F27 enjoying the springtime weather. She is one of our most productive cows within the Handel Farms.
