DESCRIPTION: COPA Farms is proud to offer CPF Ricochet. Ricki’s pedigree is packed with functional, maternal traits and longevity. She is built right from the ground up with great hoof, leg and hip structure, nice depth and spring of rib, exceptional udder and a feminine head and neck. To top it off, Ricki has an excellent disposition. She is confident without being pushy and enjoys human interaction. She has been hands down our easiest calf to work with whether it be halter training or in the chute for tattoos and vaccines. She is well started on halter and wouldn’t take much work to get her show ready. Ricki’s dam, SKM Lucy, is a fun cross of PNW genetics. She has several farms that we value in our pedigrees including Five Star, Flathead and Valhalla. Ricki is Lucy’s first calf and she had a textbook delivery and had Ricki up and nursing within 30 minutes. Lucy’s maternal traits were passed down from her dam, Rustler’s Bestla. Bestla had her last calf at 18 years old, still sporting an excellent udder and maintenance free hooves. We have another cow in our herd that is closely related to Bestla that will be 17 this year and is our herd matriarch. Longevity is in Ricki’s genes, but it doesn’t stop at her dams side. Ricki is sired by our up-and-coming bull, Gus of Flatland Farm. This is our first calf crop from Gus and we have been impressed so far. His calves are very vigorous and come out ready to take on the world. They are inheriting his correct hoof, leg and hip structure, his excellent depth of rib and a confidence that makes them fun to work with. Gus is sired by EZ Acres Kyle, who needs no introduction so we will focus on the females in his pedigree. Starting with his maternal granddam, Almosta Farm’s Britt. Britt is an impact dam and has calved each consecutive year for a total of 12 calves. Britt has been a driving force for Flatland Farm who has retained 5 of her heifer calves to build their program. One of those females is Gavina of Flatland Farm, Gus’s dam. Gavina is also an impact dam and has calved every year including her 10th calf earlier this year. Gavina is sired by Skye High Wayward Son who has had a significant impact on the breed with many productive progeny. With her lineage and conformation, Ricki should make an efficient and productive heifer that will fit into any program. We are a forage-based system so Ricki has been raised on grass, local haylage, minerals and good old PNW (liquid) sunshine. Fully vaccinated and boosted including bangs and nt821 negative through parent testing. Ricki is a moderate heifer and we expect she will mature around 900 pounds. As you can see from her current pictures and video, Ricki is ready for summer and has shed most of her winter coat. Not to worry, she grows a luscious, blond coat in the winter and is not prone to pests or skin irritations like some of her highland counterparts. While we expect Ricki will excel anywhere in the country we are offering free delivery if her final destination is within 500 miles of our farm as an incentive to PNW buyers.
