This is a truly complete female, offering the power and dimension demanded today without sacrificing soundness and grace. She has the kind of outline that can turn your neighbor into a Brahman fan! Her muscle, shape, big top, and hip are beautifully complemented by refinement and femininity. She is deep-sided, soft-made, and impeccable in her structure. Level in her topline and strong behind the hump, she exemplifies traits our breed should prioritize. Her EPDs are top shelf, with 11 traits in the top 20%.

We believe +JDH Lady Ashtyn Manso 210/2 may become a future matriarch of her own cow family at V8, the first to join this elite group in decades. She is a moderate-framed, deep-bodied cow who has really hit her stride with multiple V8 sires, the latest being +Mr. V8 195/8 “Red Man.” This is her second Made for Magic heifer. Her daughters favor their mother greatly: all are deep-ribbed, easy-fleshing cattle with lots of muscle, and most importantly, are easy to look at! A daughter of 210/2, Miss V8 279/9, was the 2023 Show Cow of the Year and, in our opinion, our best daughter of Sloan. This heifer shares many of the qualities that made 279/9 so admired in our breed.

+Mr. V8 195/8 “Red Man” is making a significant impact. Unless you live in a cave, you know how these Red Man cattle excel in the pasture, sale ring, and show ring. We’ve had the distinct pleasure of having Red Man serve as a natural service sire (thank you, Clay Family) and now as a sire in our ET program. He was an outstanding show bull himself, but he’s outproducing himself in terms of phenotype. He’s a Register of Renown sire, excelling in both red and gray cattle, and comes from our +Rose cow family. His mother, +Miss V8 917/7, is still an ET donor here today with sons in our show barn.

We see our half-interest heifers as ones we cannot bear to part with fully due to their potential as future super cows. We’re inviting you to join us in crafting her story. Selling one-half interest.
