Some of the first heifers that we purchased when we entered the business were daughters of JDH Miss Soto Manso. These heifers bred early and have raised some of our best calves. When the opportunity came to purchase this proven donor we jumped on it. 452/8 was originally sold by J.D. Hudgins – Hudgins Division for $40,000 in the 2015 ABBA International Brahman Sale. This deep bodied, heavy muscled, big boned, and super eye appealing cow is a daughter of the legendary Vanguard Sire (+)JDH Sir Lawford Manso 616/6. Many know the influence that Lawford has played in the breed siring over 500 registered progeny in ABBA and he can be found in the pedigrees of over 25 of the leading herd sires on the J.D. Hudgins Ranch. The dam to 452/8 earned the coveted status of Maternal Merit Cow due to her superior fertility and performance, which should come as no surprise being sired by the Vanguard Sire and National & International Champion (+)JDH Mr. Woodman Manso. If you are progressive and require that a donor female not only have a great pedigree and functional build but breed leading genetic predictors then check out the performance profile of 452/8 that charts positive for 11 of the 16 measured traits. JDH Miss Soto Manso 452/8 has been an outstanding producer averaging 40 oocytes on four procedures over the past year. Soto’s first natural calf is a herd bull for Magic Ranch, V8 Ranch kept a heifer from her, we kept a bull, and Bonchasse Land & Cattle purchased an aspiration that resulted in five calves all validating her superior production. JDH Miss Soto Manso sells open and as a donor. Selling is 100% possession with KI Cattle Company retaining an interest to register embryos already produced and stored.
