4 The Sierra s, Breathless s and Breathtaker s have influenced and dominated the breeding programs at Hill Haven for over a decade. We continue to find new s who can build on and improve the foundation female genetics of this family.

Breathtaker 35Y, pre-eminent daughter of our powerhouse foundation female, Breathless 13U, has risen to herd matron status in her own right at Hill Haven and she is offered here in the prime of her life. The proof of her value can be seen in her progeny in Lot 2. As well, two daughters sold south of the border: MQ Breathtaken 19B was high seller in our 2015 Selection Sale and she is at Respite Farms, KY and Breathtaker Ava 27D is at Knepp s, Indiana. And how many proven, dominant cow families can claim they produce first class bull power along side their female stars? Breathtaker can! Her 2015 natural calf, Fire Storm 28C, current herd at Hill Haven and with semen sales influencing genetics in the US and Australia, was Grand Champion Bull in 2016 at Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Toronto. Also, Breathtaker s natural bull calf this year by CSF Evolution is simply awesome and show ring bound. If her progeny record is not convincing enough, Breathtaker is also a show ring dazzler. She has two Grand Champion Female banners and a Reserve Grand Champion Female banner in 2012, 2013 & 2014 at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and that was following her calf championship win at Canadian Western Agribition in That is what you call an All-Star show career.
