For the third sale in a row, our leadoff female is a stunner from the incredibly successful mating of +Lady H Emma Manso 288/2 with +M2 BRC Captain 518/1. Not only that, but the 2 sisters from that mating in this sale will be the LAST of that genetic combination offered for at least the next few years, as we have other exciting matings to use before we implant more of this one. Gucci’s dam, +Lady H Emma Manso 288/2 is our #1 producer who hits the mark every time. +Emma 288/2 was a champion in her own right, winning the 2013 All-American out of the calf division, along with multiple other titles in her storied show career. The true mark of a great one though is their ability to outproduce themselves, which +Emma 288/2 has done, by raising a National Champion female, International Champion female, Reserve National Champion female, and 2-time ABBA Premier Gray show cow of the year propelling her to #17 grey female in the history of the ABBA Register of Renown. Gucci is sired by a bull that we’ve used heavily, +M2 BRC Captain 518/1, who quickly achieved the Register of Renown status through his progeny’s success, highlighted by siring the 2023 International Grand Champion Female. As expected from her superior pedigree, Gucci is also elite in her phenotype. Her dark pigment draws your attention and gives you the option to breed her red or grey after you finish hanging banners with her. She is one of the largest statured Captain calves we’ve had, and also excels in terms of her femininity and style. It’s not often you can find one that has this much power and stoutness, while offering an elite silhouette from the profile. Watching her get out and move only excites you more, because she’s so soft and flexible in her lower joints. She’s ultra green, because heck she’s still just a baby, but when you project this one out she may just have the highest ceiling of anything we’ve ever offered. She’s the leadoff for a reason and her last 2 sisters to hold that distinction sold half interest for over $10k each. Don’t miss out on a big time show prospect.
