Lot 6 - Miss Dubina Rose 232/8 - Bred Heifer

True Breeding Piece!  At Dubina Rose Ranch we are always striving to produce cattle that have a good look, a marketable pedigree, and good performance.  In 2012 we purchased a pack of 4 frozen embryos from Sam Duplantis at D Bar Ranch in Erath, LA.  The mating was the Maternal Performance Sire and multiple trait leader (=)JJ Cuatro Didor 919/1 and the dam was +SCD Lady Sarah 168.  We have long respected 919/1 due to his performance traits especially for growth, milk, and carcass as well as Sarah 168 who was a former show heifer and the dam to the ABBA Show Bull of the Year and Maternal Performance Sire (+)SCD Didor Esto 623/1.  Purchasing these embryos was a “No Brainer” and fortunately for us 3 of the 4 “took” and we had 2 heifers and a bull.  The calves were good and as a result were the first ones picked so we quickly turned our $2,000 investment into a $12,000 return but were smart enough to retain an aspiration on Miss Dubina Rose 126/3.  In 2017 we acted on this retained aspiration and produced Miss Dubina Rose 232/8 by using the 1992 International Champion +JDH Mr. Union Manso 455/3.  As a result of this cross that was “planned” based solely on performance data Miss Dubina Rose 232/8 ranks in the top 4% of the breed for Weaning Weight, 2% for Yearling Weight, 1% for Milk, 12% for Scrotal Circumference (early puberty), and 2% for Ribeye Area.  If you view this elite female you will realize that her performance matches her phenotype as she was the heaviest of her contemporary group at 555 lbs. 205 day wt., a 1.2 sq. in./cwt, and bred at 23 months.  In our opinion there are three bloodlines that combine the extreme growth, carcass, and maternal characteristics that we are looking for and they are +Union 455/3, (=)JJ 919/1 and (+)JDH Karu Manso 800.  To complete this “project” of creating a superior performance animal we aspirated 232/8 to Mr. Karu Manso 800-1 (due to not being able to obtain the original Karu) and got 19 embryos from 57 oocytes with calves being born this month.  In an effort to progress our program rapidly, offer proven genetics and honestly to slow down and generate some revenue we are selling 232/8 and many of our other elite animals in this sale.  If you are serious about producing superior cattle that will meet all sectors of the BEEF industry we highly recommend this one!  Sells bred 7 months to Mr. V8 740/7 who is a son of +JDH Sir Avery Manso and +Miss V8 58/6 (dam to Mr. V8 274/7 “George” and the granddam to Mr. V8 933/7 “Yeti”) who was the Highest WW, YW, and REA bull in the V8 Ranch Performance Bull Test and Sale.
