Our customers demand that cattle not only be built right, from marketable genetics, and polled, but come with carcass quality to improve the eating quality of the beef around the world. Based on the genetic predictors of VL Elena 135/2 she should meet this demand! The sire to 135/2 and the rest of the live animals in the sale is VL Rojo Mocho 5/140 (P). We have used 5/140 successfully in both our natural and IVF programs with a majority of polled calves on horned cows. The sire of 5/140 is VL Rojo El Rey 1/11 who is a son of the imported +JADL Rey TE who has produced a number of winners around the world and as a result of his success in the USA has reached the Register of Renown. The polled genetics found in 5/140 come from his dam VL Elena 9/16 who is a regular calver and backed by some of the most proven Santa Elena genetics to include: +6/125, +4/115, +80/3. The dam to VL Elena 135/2 is by JF Conquistador 100 who was a show bull for Conquistador Ranch that we purchased and used. We hope that you see the value in this female and take advantage of this exclusive opportunity!
