Maternal Excellence: Generations of Sound, Productive Females
Our donor females represent multiple generations of carefully selected genetics, bred for longevity, fertility, and structural soundness. To earn a place in our donor program, a cow must consistently wean a high-quality calf, maintain excellent feet and udder structure, and demonstrate the fertility and maternal ability that drive profitability in commercial operations. These females are the backbone of our herd, built to thrive in real-world conditions and pass on their productivity to the next generation.

- Elite Pedigree: 2XL LGL Lilly 9232 (Reg. No 19383162) is one of the few offspring of 2XL Exploration 5230, Lilly 9232 combines two of our most influential cow families—the Lilly and Erica lines.

- Proven Female Progeny: Her first flush to GAR Reliant produced two outstanding daughters retained in the herd. One has the potential to earn Pathfinder® status and enter the donor pen, while a natural-born Tahama Patriarch daughter is already in our donor rotation, producing an impressive set of Basin Jameson bull calves.
- Powerful Bulls: Her first two natural-born sons have been exceptionally thick and wide, developing into powerful sires with tremendous muscle shape, standing on a solid foundation of stout feet and legs.
