Georgia’s Dam, Prairie Grass Hills Sunsong is an impact dam sired by the past Canadian National Champion bull Du Boise Lecoq. Georgia has passed on to King a very correct and proportional frame to go with his strong hooves and legs. King is the first bull brought into HRE as a prospect bull and future Herd Sire. He is showing an excellent temperament and a very calm and docile demeanor. We have our first confirmed WL King calf on the way with Mellisa Dubh-Dundonald. The expected due date is March 2nd. King was just 13 months old at conception. Update King's first calf was born February 27th, Molly came in weighing 63lbs and is a dun heifer calf who is our most gentle calf yet. Molly will be for sale at weaning age in September 2023. We have had our other three cows exposed to King for fall calves scheduled for Sept/Oct 2023.

Mellisa is the leader of our fold and enjoys interacting and engaging with her people. Mellisa carries her head high and moves about the pasture with a purpose.

Mellisa had her 6th calf for us on February 27th 2023. She had a dun heifer calf that we named Molly. Molly is the first calf sired by our bull WL King. So far this calf is showing the demeanor of her sire in being the most gentle calf we have had to date. Molly will be for sale at weaning age in September 2023. The long line of Mellisa`s raised at Dundonald is definite evidence of the maternal component of the Highlands.
