Blade

Blade was the first really big 2 yr old we raised. At 2 years old he had 16 points and gross scored 191 inches. We passed on several handsome offers to sell Blade that year and choose to breed him to 10 doe instead. We collected him twice that year, which I still give thanks for in my prayers, and got 127 straws of super quality semen. As he was growing his 3 yr old rack during the Summer of 2003, the unthinkable happened- dogs got in my buck pens and were chasing them. Of the 40 something bucks in the pen only one was hurt.... Blade. He spent 5 ½ weeks at TAMU Veterinarian school for a spinal cord injury. On 8-7-03 I had to put Blade down. The saying goes, why does it always happen to the good ones. This time it happened to a great one. Blade was not only great for his big antlers, but great for his amazing breeding value. All of Blade’s sons are big. Through Artificial Insemination we are carrying on Blades legacy.
