We knew when we planned this sale that we had to “anchor” it with a good one! The female that is likely the most popular in the breed from our program is LMC +S Polled Madonna 274/1 that we purchased in the 2013 International Brahman Sale. At 28 months of age Madonna had 6 heifer calves as a result of an IVF procedure. In this group was +LMC Polled Passion 55/4 who went on to be an International Reserve Grand Champion and was recently inducted into the ABBA Register of Renown. It should also be noted that in this first calf crop and those to follow that Madonna produced a number of other show winners, donors, and herd sires. Based on Madonna’s production It should come as no surprise that she is backed by an unbelievable pedigree and performance profile. Madonna is sired by one of the breed’s foundation polled herd sires LMC WFF Pistolero and her dam is a proven donor that is sired by the Vanguard Sire (+)JDH Datapack Manso and out of the 2000 National Champion and proven donor for V8 Ranch with an International Champion daughter to her credit, +JDH Marri Holly Manso. To further validate the predictability of this genetic mating a flushmate brother to Madonna is LMC Polled Datapack who is a herd sire for ELC Cattle Co. It should also be noted that Madonna ranks in the top 20% of the breed for the economic traits of WW, YW, Marbling, and Ribeye Area making her more valuable as a breeding piece. If you are looking for a female to build a program around don’t miss out on this investment opportunity!
