We thought for over an hour on how to describe ECC Polled Rio Queen 587/1 and the best word is SHOWSTOPPER! When Chris Shivers came down to select the offering, we reluctantly showed him the Spring 2021 babies and of course he picked the best one. We think this female is the REAL DEAL as she has the look to be a competitive show heifer and the pedigree and performance to be a donor. It is likely the heavy structure, rib shape, style and femininity that drew you to this heifer. We agree that she is fancy but offers oh so much more. She is the most performance-oriented female in the sale, ranking in the Top 20% for Growth and Milk, Top 10% for Ribeye Area and Top 1% for Marbling. This breed leading performance should come as no surprise as she is sired by LMC ECC Polled X Factor 84/4 who combines +LMC LF Ambassador 700/7; Mr. V8 301/5; the International Champion, +Miss V8 831/5; and a full sister to the many-time champion and proven herd sire, Mr. U4 Barrett Manso 221/1. The dam to 587/1 is one of our donors who has already produced the young and exciting donor, ECC Polled Beth 102/8. Miss U4 Melody 48/5 is the result of the most proven genetics from Heritage Cattle Co. to include #SS Principe De Siguacan; +Lady Heritage Manso 86; Mr. H Morton Manso; and +SNS Miss Karu Didor 95, the dam to the 2010 International Champion. We realize that she is just a baby who is still on her dam but we have her started on a halter and ready to embark on her best days ahead. We look forward to watching the success of this one!
ECC reserves the right to one (1) flush or the split of two (2) flushes, minimum of six (6) embryos. Heifer to remain in ECC’s possession until weaned in mid-October. Started on halter, 45 days.
