Updraft @ 2

Great looking 2 year old Roger Grats. Man he put on a growth spurt. I'm sure you've had the same cool, crappy antler growing weather we've had we just get it a day later I know you have a small herd and that makes your success all the more impressive. Keep up the good work !

Yes Kent, the weather here has been strange. At least we now have enough rain to keep the crops going for the year. It was really dry here for a long time.

I want to stress the strength of the pedigree since I have been getting emails and phone calls asking me about his mothers side.





*Updraft was Dolly's first set of fawns.

*Y0289 is a big doe fawn producer. She does have a buck fawn this year now.

*Red #32 was a super strong producer for the Flees family. As of last year she had several sons from 230" to 306"

*O-105 Is a twin to Poncho and the dam to B-37 who sold for $190,000 last Jan. B-37 is the dam to Hardcore, Solidcore, Encore, Mastbo, Maximus DT, Maximus CR.

*Pebbles is one of the most famous does in the industry. She is found in MANY big buck pedigrees. Pebbles is found in Updraft's pedigree 5 TIMES



I hope this helps everyone understand the back ground of Updraft better. If anyone has any questions please let me know.

Semen is priced at $2500 per straw and this years semen is about half spoken for at this point.

We have one 2009 Updraft doe fawn consigned to the Indy Mid America auction.

And we have one doe bred to Updraft consigned to the same auction.

Contact us for more details.



I thank Gene Flees and the Flees family for all they have done to help me here at Independence Ranch. Their many years of breeding has paved the way for us all to grow big bucks.

I thank everyone greatly for looking!

Veryyyyyyyyy nice!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats! Love that look!!!!!!!! Wow!

He is getting really big Rog. We might be going past your place sunday if that works to score that buck for you. after that my schedule gets real nuts.

Here are what should be the last of the pics for the season from our place. The bucks still have some black tips but they are getting close enough to being done this should be the end of the pics for 2009.



This is Max Thrust at 3 years of age.







Max Thrust is est at 230" @ 3 this year.



Max Thrust is for sale. Call for details. 715-212-5640



This is a pic of the group of yearlings we have this year. We only have the 3 of them. We are a small herd.





And here are the last pics of Updraft for the season. I appreciate everyone's patients with my posting pics of him this season. I just am really proud of how he has turned out for us.











Make note of Hardcore's grandma being in the pedigree of Updraft.



There are some auctions coming up that will have 2009 doe fawns from Updraft, and there will be does bred to Updraft, as well as a few straws of semen from Updraft will be in the Top 30 sale for next falls breeding season. Semen for this fall breeding season is $2500 and there are a handful of straws left yet.

Again thanks for looking at our bucks this season.

See you all at the auctions!

Hey Roger,

If I had a buck that looked like Updraft I'd be posting also. Love seeing your pictures of him. He is a very nice buck and you should be proud of him. I can hardly wait to use the two straws of him I got from you on the Flees girls I have here in Montana. Only ten months or so till I have some of his offspring on the ground in Montana. Thanks for all the pictures.

Hey Jack,

I sure hope you get some big boys from your straws, and some girls that will produce down the road for you.

Roger- We still need to work something out on a straw of Updraft..... don't forget about us!

Holly, There is no way I will forget that you and Dave want to use Updraft this year. Fact is I was going to call you guys tonight to talk about it. I am proud that he will be in the program this year for you. I only wish I could put Hardcore in Updraft's little sister this year instead of waiting until next year

Nice Roger !!!!!

Roger, Great buck and thanks for posting a score sheet.

Roger and Laurie,



Congrats to you guys. He is awesome. We are glad to have one of the first bucks out of Updraft. Can't wait to see the pass down.

Mitch, Paul, Michael, thanks much.

We are really happy with how Updraft has turned out for us. Michael, I hope he is a monster for you guys, and I hope everyone who has invested in Updraft gets big monster bucks.

The last couple of straws of Updraft for this season are still left. If you want to add Pebbles, Poncho, Bucky, Hardcore's grandma, Buster, Mandy and many others to your breeding program by using a single buck here is your chance for this season.

Other than the straws in the Top 30 sale there will be no more Updraft semen sold until he grows out next summer.

Call now to get the last straws for this year.

Thank you to all the investors.

2010 semen will again be limited, and a list has been started for those interested in using Updraft in the fall of 2010.



As always we thank you for looking
