It is likely the stout structure, big body, muscle, length, and levelness that attracted you to Miss KI 148. We agree that she is ultra-attractive but there is SO MUCH more to appreciate about this female. Miss KI 148 is sired by the 2020 National Champion Bull +Mr. V8 322/8 who in his first calf crop sired a $150,000 ½ interest heifer that was named as the 2022 Reserve National Champion as well as a $90,250 daughter that has been a many time winner. The dam to Miss KI 148 is JDH Lady ABBA Manso 405/7 who is our top donor due to her being a “no miss” with EVERY bull that she has been mated. 405/7 is by the former J.D. Hudgins show bull JDH Yetti Manso 872/6 and out of the International Sale feature and now proven donor JDH Lady Greta Manso 644/8. Note that Miss KI 148 is a maternal half-sister to lot 10 validating the producing ability of 405/7. For the progressive breeders looking for the female that combines it all you will have to appreciate the performance profile of 148 that ranks in the top ½ of the breed for ALL of the economically relevant traits to include: BW, WW, YW, Milk, Tenderness, REA, and Marbling!
It should also be known that V8 Ranch purchased a flushmate to Miss KI 148 in the Brahmans at the Camellia Sale which confirms the genetic superiority and influence of this mating.
Based on her outstanding build, breed leading performance, and pedigree that combines many of the top cows in the breed we think that Miss KI 148 is a BIG TIME breeding piece!
Note: Miss KI 148 is halter broke but can be temperamental and not ideal for a young showman.
