Rare Offering! The dam of this sexed pregnancy is VL Elena 165/4, the best donor at Santa Elena ranch. She is a daughter of the Register of Renown + VL Elena 4/136, and the legendary International Champion -+ VL Rojo Tinto 3/180. She has an outstanding pedigree with more than 10 Register of Renown descendants. 165/4 is a donor who exemplifies length of body, maternal excellence, and thickness, style and breed character. This line of females exhibit great fertility and have 3 generations of high egg producing cows. We have flushed 165/4 and 155/4(her full sister) several times on the ranch with outstanding results. According to a study done by Texas A&M University, she has averaged 10 embryos per flush with her grand dam averaging 12 per flush and a high conception rate. Her full sister VL Elena 155/4 was the 2007 International Red Brahman Champion Female.
165/4 has produced the best show calves 5 years in a row. Her progeny includes VL Rojo Designer 2/75, VL Elena 4/65, and VL Elena 4/165. VL Rojo Designer 2/75 is a herd sire for the ranch who calves are selling this sale. He was also the 2014 Blue Bonnet Kick of Classic Reserve Grand Champion Bull. During September, VL Elena 4/65 was named Intermediate Champion at the Washington County Fair. Her other current ET daughter VL Elena 4/165 was named Calf Champion at the Blue Bonnet Kick of Classic and the Sugar Classic.
The sire of this sexed pregnancy is VL Rojo Grande 4/95, one of the all-time great red Brahman herd sires. His progeny includes an International and National champion female. This mating will be a full sister to VL Elena 4/65 who has won her class and been champion at various shows. These calves have a lot of potential. Half interest on a full sister to this pregnancy sold last year for $25,000. We do not sell embryos on 165/4 and this is a chance to own a female calf out of one of the greatest donors in our ranches history and a potential show winner. Expected Calving Date: 03/01/2015
