Lot 5: Show Prospect - MISS KI 194

Miss KI 194 is a beautiful female that is very complete in her make up.  There is a lot to appreciate about this female that is long, level, deep ribbed, feminine, and adequate in her bone and thickness.  Not only is 194 built right but she is backed by a pedigree that combines the fresh with the proven.  The sire of 194 is the 2022 International Champion Grey Bull JDH Rafiki Manso 893/7.  We along with many other breeders around the world love the moderate frame size, huge body, muscle, bone, and balanced genetic profile of Rafiki.  You have to also appreciate the proven pedigree of Rafiki as he is sired by JDH Jene Manso an outcross sire with 292 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 naturally before her 3rd birthday and each year afterwards even while being aspirated, produced 15 offspring to include JDH London Manso who is a J.D. Hudgins herd sire (full brother to Rafiki), and results from two performance-oriented parents to include JDH Mr. Manso 323/2 and a Maternal Merit Cow.
The dam to 194 is Miss V8 163/8 who was a proven donor that we aspirated twice averaging 42 oocytes validating her fertility.  This red tinged, moderate framed, and deep ribbed cow is backed by proven genetics and a progressive performance profile. 163/8 is by the many time champion, outcross sire, and one of the “gentle giants” in the breed Mr. V8 85/7 “Ocho Cinco” and out of a donor for V8 Ranch who produced 38 offspring until she was 15 years of age to include a $108,500 daughter, an International Show Division Winner, and three replacement heifers.    
To complete this impressive package 194 ranks in the top of the bred for Growth (WW,YW), Milk, and Ribeye Area EPD’s.
