However, after numerous phone calls, from Simmental and Red Angus breeders, we decided that we had to offer such an incredible opportunity with this amazing female. She is the 5th generation out of the Class cow family and the perfect example of the type of Red Simmental cattle that we strive to breed with near perfect structural correctness. This is a powerhouse red female with both her 17 year old grandmother and 11 year old mother still producing in the herd.

She had another great Red Density calf this season that we sold earlier this summer. Red Rose is a tremendous young female that combines performance, volume and appearance.

We have every bit of confidence that she will mature to be every bit as good as her full sister Red Rose (Lot #1). The added bonus with this lot is that she was implanted 9/15/13 with a Hester s Classy Lady x Mr. Ishee Red Density embryo. We hadn t intended to implant her with an embryo but when the time came we had one fresh embryo and Red Ruby in heat so it was our best option at the time. Our high selling red bull last year is a full sibling to this combination with; a low birth weight, massive carcass and great disposition with 13 API and 71 TI. Lot #14 selling is another full sibling to this combination. She is due 6/24/14 with pregnancy confirmed by the vet prior to sale day. 5
