Kansas Bluestem MGF Inferno
ADGA #N2429242
February 28, 2025
AS1C B/N G6S Normal
Collection: planned for Fall 2026
Inferno is a retained son of Camelot Cattle Co Cinder. His littermate sister, Kansas Bluestem Parade Spark, was our only planned retainee in his litter, but there was just something about him that said, “keep me, too.” We’re very glad we did, as we lost his dam just five months after he was born to a hay accident. He’ll carry her genetics deeper into our herd than we would have been able to do with just daughters.
Cinder’s udder was high, wide and socked on all around. Her teats were a little wider set than what we consider ideal, but the size, shape and orifice size made her easy to milk. Cinder appraised with an Excellent in Mammary System, as a three year old. Cinder wasn’t a particularly tall doe, but she certainly had the width that we hope to make standard in our breeding program, even though we did not get the opportunity to see her frame fully mature. Cinder’s sire, Camelot Cattle Co Oliver Wood, is known for throwing high and wide rear udders, backed with solid milk production, and we hope his genetics shine through in Inferno.
Inferno’s sire is a buck that we owned and used for two short breeding seasons, Food4Thought MardiGras Flasher. Flasher is an incredibly tall and long buck, but he lacked the strength and body capacity that we want in our herd. Inferno seems to be taking after his sire in height, and stood well above the other Spring of 2025 junior bucklings, but appears to have body capacity and width from his dam, Cinder. Inferno’s sire’s dam, Blissberry Mardi Gras, had a beautiful rump- so wide and long, and flat like a platter. We hope that those rump genetics show up in Inferno’s offspring.
