How can you go wrong purchasing a pregnant recipient that should have a heifer calf sired by the reigning International Champion Grey Bull and is guaranteed to be polled?? This is as complete of a package as you can purchase!
The sire to the resulting calf is the 2022 International Champion Grey Bull JDH Rafiki Manso 893/7. Not only is Rafiki built right being moderate framed, huge bodied, heavy muscled, and powerfully structured but is backed by a balanced genetic profile. Rafiki is sired by JDH Jene Manso a proven sire with 281 registered progeny to include JDH Massai Manso, JDH Turkana Manso, and JDH Sir Zadig Manso 918/6 just to name a few. The dam to Rafiki is a proven donor who calved naturally before her 3rd birthday and each year afterwards even while being aspirated, produced 15 offspring to include JDH London Manso who is a J.D. Hudgins herd sire (full brother to Rafiki), and results from two performance-oriented parents to include JDH Mr. Manso 323/2 and a Maternal Merit Cow.
The dam to the resulting calf is Miss HMC Polled 103/1 (PP) a HOMOZYGOUS POLLED female meaning that 100% of her calves even when bred to a horned bull will be POLLED. We purchased 103/1 as the high selling lot in the 2021 National Brahman Sale for $30,000. 103/1 is sired by LMC LN Polled Pappo 136/6 (PP) one of the top polled sires globally due to the success of his offspring in the show ring and in the pasture. The dam to 103/1, Miss SRS Polled Katie (P), is an influential donor who produced Miss HMC Polled 42/1 (P) a “cash cow” for David Lawrence, Mr. HMC 111/1 (P) a herd sire that headlined the HM Cattle Co. Online Sale fetching $20,000 and two other full sisters to 103/1 that have brought $21,500-$37,000 over the past year.
We created this mating just for this sale as we wanted to offer something special to our many customers and friends. We think this is as good as it gets!
The resulting calf will be born in late September 2023.
