Lot 1 - ECC LMC POLLED RIO QUEEN 180/8 (P)

In 2015 The Brahman Foundation became a reality when Carlos Guerra took the concept that had been used in other organizations and put “the wheels in motion”.  Although Guerra had the idea and the “can do” attitude it was many of his friends that joined in to help make The Brahman Foundation what it is today.  One of the first believers to commit to the cause was Mike England of England Cattle Company.  Since the beginning La Muneca Cattle Co. and England Cattle Co. have partnered on a heifer that is donated to this prestigious sale.  We couldn’t think of a better place to kick off this 2019 The Brahman Foundation “Funding the Future” Sale than with ECC LMC Polled Rio Queen 180/8 (P). This 11-month-old polled halter broke heifer was the pick of her group and rightfully so based on her moderate framed, deep ribbed, heavy structured, long and level build with ideal breed character.  Although 180/8 offers an eye appealing phenotype it is only enhanced with her breed leading pedigree.  She is sired by the former show bull who is now a proven herd sire with over 100 offspring in the United States in addition to progeny around the world, ECC El Caporal 301.  Caporal is one of the few bulls in the breed to produce sexed semen and the ONLY polled Brahman bull with Ultra-Sexed semen validating his fertility and semen quality.  The dam to 180/8 is a young cow that is jointly owned by La Muneca Cattle Company & England Cattle Company who offers a proven pedigree combining LMC Polled Future 17/1 with a regular calving J.D. Hudgins cow sired by the Maternal Performance Sire (=)JDH Winchester Manso.  This phenomenal polled female should not only be a competitive show heifer due to her phenotype but offers a proven pedigree that should help propel her to the Donor Pen.  Study ECC LMC Polled Rio Queen 180/8 hard and don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to not only buy a great female but to help support the future of the Brahman breed!
