Rarely is there an opportunity to purchase the genetics of an International Champion Bull especially when he wears a J.D. Hudgins brand. Headlining this premier sale is an unbranded & unnamed heifer calf that was born on February 5, 2023 and is selling with her recipient. This heifer calf was in the first calf crop by the 2022 International Champion Grey Bull JDH Rafiki Manso 893/7. We are extremely excited about the first calves by Rafiki and think he has a bright future due to his practical phenotype, proven pedigree, and 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 before her 3rd birthday and each year afterwards, produced 15 offspring to include a J.D. Hudgins herd sire (full brother to Rafiki), and results from two performance-oriented parents. It’s easy to get excited about the top side of this heifer’s pedigree but don’t overlook the dam that is a $65,500 show heifer, wears a V8 brand, and is backed by some of the most proven and performance-oriented genetics in the breed! Miss V8 280/9 is sired by +Mr. V8 458/7 “Noble” who sired more show winners over the past five years than any other sire. The dam to 280/9 is a young V8 Ranch donor that is the result of two Register of Renown parents to include the Reserve International Champion +Mr. V8 191/7 and +Miss V8 696/6 who among many other influential offspring produced the 2019 National Champion Cow. Don’t miss this rare opportunity! |
