Phenotype, Pedigree, Performance! SRS Miss Stella 562/0 is a consignment of our daughter Mae. You might remember the 482/8 and 153/9 heifers that we previously sold in some of our sales. These were full sisters to Stella validating the continued quality of this cross. As you evaluate the pedigree of Stella you quickly realize that she is backed by three of the most popular sires in the breed to include:
+Mr. V8 458/7 – sired 3 of the 4 International Champions in 2020, was #1 sire for points earned by progeny for the entire 2019 show season and the 2020 International Brahman Show, sired the ONLY three-time International Champion Bull, and multiple trait leader.
+Mr. V8 380/6 – sired more show winners from 2011-2017, ranks #2 Lifetime in the ABBA Register of Renown, sire of 2020 International Champion Get of Sire, and multiple performance trait leader.
(+)JDH Sir Liberty Manso – International Champion, proven sire of show winners and productive cattle as verified by him reaching Vanguard status, one of the all-time influential sires in the breed.
The dam to Stella was purchased from V8 Ranch to create the “Golden Cross” combining the genetics of +Mr. V8 458/7 “Noble” on +Mr. V8 380/6 “The Machine”. It should also be noted that Miss V8 892/7 is fertile calving before her 3rd birthday.
As you have seen throughout the sale we like cattle that not only look good and have a great pedigree but come with some performance and Stella packs as much of a performance punch as any animal in this sale charting in the top 6% of the breed for 7 traits.
