Our Bred Heifers & Heifer Calves...
(once these bred heifers calve, they will be moved to OUR COWS page, but are techinically called "first calf heifers" until the birth of their second calf, then they are considered "cows" )
Our newest WSF calf....
~ WHITE STAR FARM BETTE DAVIS~
WSF Bette Davis at 5 days old ^
Well...guess where she gets her name from???
It's been a very long time since we've produced a pink nosed calf on our farm...lol...and her pink nose has now turned gray, but will not be "black". And the previous pink nose was a bull calf from Ellie. But to have Ellie's bloodlines and gentle nature in our breeding program, it's sure ok with us!
This little lady, we call her "Bette Davis" for her big googly eyes!...is a stocky little thing with a big head like her daddy, MPRR Hans. Barynard Mini Ellie Mae was just laying chewing her cud one minute, and 5 minutes later, this little ball of fun was on the ground! When she first stood up, she immediately began licking for the udder...and was eating with the first 30 minutes!
We are excited as all get out to have gotten a heifer from Ellie and Hans...our first Hans calf!....she'll be retained to see what she brings to the table later on when mature. THANK YOU, LORD!

~ SR TAMMI SUE ~
TOP 2 PHOTOS TAKEN 08/12/18 ^
Oh my...just when I think I'm done buying cows, the phone rings or an email comes in! So, here we go again! This little beauty was born in New Mexico with our dear friend, Micki. She has decided to sell us back her three gorgeous girls...and we are more than pleased to bring them back here to the mountains of Georgia!
They arrived here early this morning in early August. Along with SR Tammi Sue, her dam, G J Tisha and our WSF Stormy have arrived safe and sound! We will do the usual disease testing before placing them with a bull for breeding. Since we do not like horns at our farm, we'll take Miss Tammi for a "cosmetic de-horning" at UGA in late Sept early Oct, when flies are gone. This little heifer is stunning! We are planning a surprise for her first breeding choice....
Tammi Sue got her mama's beautiful head and sire's deep red coloring. :-) And honestly I love her little Jersey horns!
THANK YOU, MICKI!
Miss Tammi Sue will be pasture exposed to WSF Boomerang for a fall calf in 2019

~ WHITE STAR FARM STELLA ROSA ~
NEW! TOP PHOTO 10/07/18, 4 months of age ^
We are over the moon to find out that Miss Stella FINALLY gave us a heifer! She's had 4 bulls in a row, and it was about time to get a girl! THANK YOU, LORD! We are naming her WSF Stella Rosa, after her mama...:-) Her sire is WSF Little White Cloud. She will be a1a1 beta casein and hetero polled by genetics, but DNA will confirm. She is lightly painted on both sides on her flanks and tail tip.
We debated selling Stella and her calf, even if it was a heifer...we may change our mind now, though since it IS her first ever heifer. Stella has a long pedigree, probably one of the longest in our breed. It may beneift our genetics down the road to keep her and Rosa...we'll see. Right now, we'll just give her time to grow.

~ GLORIOUS GRACE OF FINGER LAKES~
NEW PHOTOS 08/13/18 ^
We were offered this gorgeous heifer to add her fabulous self and lineage to our farm. She is a grand daughter of the beautiful bull, Hester's Ruda. She will make a splendid addition to our line up of breeding heifers for 2019. We are more than thankful to have been offered the opportunity to bring her here.
THANK YOU, AL & ALICE!
Gracie will be pasture exposed to WSF Boomerang for a fall 2019 calf!
Gracie is line bred (inbred to her full brother by accident), concentrating those genes from Hester's Ruda, which is fine with us. She will not be registered in our Herd Book for this reason, but will be bred selectively here so that her offspring can be registered in the future. Gracie will more than likely end up in the mid-sized range when mature, and we're fine with that, too, to have her with us. :-)
We love our painted Jerseys! It will be fun finding just the right sires for her offspring for next year calving! We've never seen a mini Jersey heifer as painted as she!

~ WHITE STAR FARM SERAPHINA ~
NEW PHOTO 10/08/18 ^
Oh my goodness! We have waited for this calf for almost 5 years now! We have bred Antoinette and Doc Smurf each time HOPING for a lightly painted heifer from the two! She has finally arrived!
I was certain "she" was a "he" when I arrived at the barn on the morning of the 12th of March, so I greeted "him" and Annie, then went to feed the chickens and turn them out for the day.
Upon returning, I went inside to check Annie out, saw the little "dangley" under "him" and put some hay in her rack. All of a sudden she bowed up to "pee" and that is when I realized "he" was a "SHE"! I fell to my knees in gratitude to the LORD for this beautiful gift! If we get all bulls this year, it's ok...I have my precious Doc/Annie heifer!
"Seraphina" comes from the Hebrew word, "Seraphim", which are "holy fiery ones"...angels. The seraphim guard and protect the Ark of the Covenant of God.

~ WHITE STAR FARM ASIA ~
NEW! Photos: at 1 year of age 08/12/18^
We love our painted Jerseys and are so pleased to have been blessed with this little one out of WSF Gabe's Raisin Kane and Frazier's Rio! She is a bit over 11 months old here in these photos and learning her way around the field and how to be a herdmate. Miss Asia is such a sweet and gentle heifer...we hope she lives a very long, healthy and productive life here at our farm! She is staying small enough to be a true miniature when mature, but time will tell!
She is spunky and small at 22" at birth. We hope to incorporate her partial Guernsey genetics into future offspring for fabulous family milkers! Asia is a "Jernsey"....3/4 MJ and 1/4 Guernsey.
Miss Asia will be pasture exposed to WSF Boomerang for her first calf fall of 2019!

NEW TOP PHOTO, at 19 months of age, 08/12/18 ^
This little jewel is truly that...a real beauty! We are so pleased that Pam decided to select us for her permanent home. We have often admired the cattle bloodlines from Bit of Honey farm and are pleased as peaches with this heifer! She will become an intregal part of our breeding program early next year. Dollie has some really nice genetics behind her from the farm of Mary Ruth Conklin...the Meadow Beauty bloodlines.
THANK YOU, PAM!

~ GRAYSTONE'S JOLENE of WSF ~
NEW TOP PHOTO of our little sweetie pie, Jolene! 08/12/18^
Jolene is what we would call a "micro mini"....
We are very proud to have purchased this little heifer! Her dam, Ansley Martin's Minnie comes directly from Ralph Martin's son, Ansley Martin...and is a stunning small heifer! A bull from Hunting Creek Farm (Adam Pardue) is the sire of Jolene, Hunting Creek Graystone's Jethro...DNA testing will verify her sire, if we can locate him to test. She has some fabulous breeding behind her.
THANK YOU, STEPHANIE!
We are so excited to bring this little beauty to our farm! After seeing her dam in person, we bought her too! Jolene appears by her size and age, that she may end up a "micro mini"...but we're hoping she'll grow to be in the 40"+ range. We do not want to grow cows for being the tiniest...we want to raise family milk cows. The smaller they get, the more problems all the way around, so we hope not to replicate her size in her offspring. When she breeds, in the last trimester of her pregnancy, she will be taken to board at UGA, so that they can attend her delivery there in case problems arise during the birth because of her size.
Ralph Martin (and Nathan Harris) were the true grandfathers of this breed. Ralph Martin (Martin's), Annette Hester's (Hester's), Nathan Harris (Barnyard Mini), Tim O'Donnell (Dexter Corner), Mary Ruth Conklin (Meadow Beauty), Fonnie Thoman (Riverview) and Donna Hatcher (Bedrock Meadows) are some of the very first breeders to introduce this breed to the world! Ansley Martin, Ralph's son, still has a few cows on their family farm today from his father's stock. Jolene, as well as her dam, are negative for BLV, BVD, Johne's and TB.
Miss Jolene has been confirmed bred to Pancho for early 2019 calving!
We appreciate the opportunity to bring this gorgeous heifer and her dam to join our herd of ladies!

~ WHITE STAR FARM TIA MARIA ~
NEW TOP PHOTOS 07/21/18 at 23 months old ...looking good!^
Little Tia Maria will be along term keeper here at our farm. We have always admired the Nathan Harris bloodlines (Barnyard Mini) and want to keep as many in our lineages as we can, from our original two purchases from Mr. Harris. Ellie did not disappoint with this little jewel!
And we hope Tia has a repeat performance in greatness in the next month or so, bred to KN Paula's Pancho
Tia is a chubby litttle gal and an absolute delight to own! It's hard to get good photos of her...she wants to come see me everytime I want to get her pics!
UPDATE!! Tia calved today, 11/12 18 with her first bull calf! Congrats, Tia and Pancho!
We were also surprised that she has not one speck of white on her, that we can find. But a lovely red fawn color and most exquisite head (like her mama) is always welcome, too! Riverview Gene is her grand sire on her sire's side and she is a perfect example of his stamp of quality!

~ FRAZIER'S TRIXY ~
NEW PHOTOS! 07/21/18 at 28 months of age ^
Frazier's Trixy is one of our prettiest heifers! We are so pleased to add her genetics to our lineup of 2018 offspring! We have exposed Trixy to KN Paula's Pancho and now WSF Primo for her first calf.
Trixy is a superior heifer and is one of our lightest coated cows. Trixy is a fine little heifer that if she takes after her dam, Frazier's Emma, she will most certainly be a long term keeper! We are very pleased with our stock quality and breeding options.
THANK YOU, RACHEL!
This little heifer has one of our favorite bulls in her lineage....Ochwilla Hill Conan is her dam's sire and is her grand sire. Conan has a great lineage from Annette Hester's herd and farm (Bob Honey) and BH goes back to the famous Dwight Lewis' Rudabaga (sire of Bob Honey)! We have several Ochwilla Hill Conan semen units and plan to breed Trixy back to him in the future to tighten that lineage in her calves. Check back early spring 2019 to see what she delivers here!
Miss Trixy has been confirmed in calf to Pancho or WSF Primo for calving 2019!
