VL Elena 22/2 is a horned female that is a flushmate to lot 5. Much like her sister 22/2 is big bodied, heavy muscled, long, and well balanced. Of course, we like the build of this female but where we see extreme value is in her pedigree and performance profile. VL Elena 22/2 is out of VL Elena 6/13 who is a full sister to the 2018 National Champion VL Elena 6/20, a daughter of +VL Rojo Wiskey 1/48 who has sired many show ring winners and donor dams, and out of the proven Register of Renown Donor +VL Elena 115/5. The sire to 22/2 is VL Rojo Mocho 5/140 (P) who we have used 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. It should not be surprising that 22/2 is one of the most performance oriented females in this sale ranking in the top ¼ of the breed for Birth Weight, 40% for Growth (WW,YW), 25% for Milk, 20% for Marbling and charts positive for Ribeye Area EPD’s.
