Rawhide

Last week we had the honor of designing a new ad for Levi Bond and his Hereford bull Rawhide. As you can see, this is a very impressive bull, especially when you consider this photo was taken at 10 years of age. Rawhide is one of the most dominating Hereford club calf sires in the business. The amazing fact about Rawhide is that his success has come from breeding less than 30 fall calving cows in the last 7 breeding seasons! During this time he has sired Houston Hereford Champions & Reserves, San Antonio Hereford Champions, Belt Buckle Reserve Overall Steer, 2 Ft. Worth Reserve Hereford Steers, and 19 Major Sale Steers.

For semen information or purchases contact Levi Bond at (580) 554-0370 or visit www.bondbrotherselite.com. For breeding or calf information contact Nicky Kroll at (580) 541-8666 or Mark Copus at (940) 704-1853.

Riverbend Labradoodles

If you are an animal lover like all of us at RHD, you’ll enjoy viewing our latest web site, Riverbend Labradoodles. As we were building this site, I wanted to take each of these dogs home with me!

Chad and Kristi Coopshaw have over 20 years of experience in dog breeding and raising and have shared their puppies with families across the country and around the world. Their focus is to protect the health and future of this breed and maintain a breeding program dedicated to quality, not quantity.

Located in the countryside of Northwest Ohio, the Coopshaw’s designed and built their homestead around their love for animals. The puppies live with them, in order for them to provide a loving, healthy environment to help them grow to their full potential. The puppies are continually handled and exposed to every day life and noises in an effort to create a positive social experience.
