DESCRIPTION
Santa Elena Herd Bull Catalog 2014TRANSCRIPT
Santa Elena was established in 1959 with the purchase of 987 acres in Houston County, Texas and 250 registered Red Brahman cattle from the Fondren Estate herd. During the first ten years of operation, all cattle, with the
exception of herd replacements, were sent to Venezuela. Many of these individuals were used to establish Lecuna's renowned Red Brahman herd in Venezuela.
Santa Elena expanded during this time as 2,700 acres were added and the number of mother cows jumped to over 450, all produced from ranch production. Until 1987 the only outside females brought into the herd were six heifers purchased in 1961 from the C.E. Yoakum herd. The Santa Elena foundation herd, purchased from the Fondrens, was developed through the use of primarily Estrele and later Arauto bloodlines. Later, Manso-influenced bulls were added to the herd and the resulting conformation is still evident, as well as the uniform dark red color.
From the beginning, beef conformation and a dark red color were of prime importance in our program. Many years of selective breeding were implemented to develop the herd of good, productive, beef type Red Brahmans that now call Santa Elena home.
In 1970, Santa Elena Ranch made the VL branded cattle available to Brahman breeders and commercial cattlemen in the United States. Since that time, the ranch has enjoyed a reputation of producing honest breeding cattle of high quality and beefy conformation that are a powerful influence to a registered herd or commercial cattle operation. Much of the herd's progress and breeding-up is attributed to Steve Allen, who served as ranch manager for 27 years.
In May 1991, Alfredo and Josephine Muskus became the sole owners of Santa Elena Ranch. The ranch is a progressive operation in every area. Performance records are of utmost importance and are kept on every Santa Elena animal. Recently an embryo transplant facility for on-the-farm use was added. Santa Elena has been a leading exporter of Brahman cattle, selling animals to more than 18 countries during its operation.
In addition, Santa Elena runs commercial cattle and feeds Red Brahman sired cattle in the Texas Panhandle. Cattlemen are continually impressed with the gains these cattle achieve and the carcasses they hang. Alfredo and Josefina recognize their cattle must work for all segments of the industry and that is why they emphasize quality and beefiness as selection criteria.
As you can see, the Santa Elena Ranch has stood the test of time and looks forward to a bright future through careful, reputable and select production. We plan to be part of the beef business for a long time to come.

Where the focus is on a
genetic planSanta Elena Ranch began in 1959 and since that time our focus
has been to produce a genetic package that is profitable for each segment of the industry. We have established the ranch as a source of the highest quality Red Brahman cattle—Red Brahman cattle with beef conformation and dark red color. Our females are fertile, feminine, correct, regular calvers, who calve easily and keep easy. Our sire lineup is unquestionably the best, and we emphasize EPDs, soundness, conformation, fleshing ability, muscle and disposition.
The genetic base of each individual is important to us and we have a plan and work to implement this plan with each mating. This means you can consistently look to Santa Elena Ranch for profit-oriented, planned genetics.
At Santa Elena Ranch we are there for you every step of the way, whether you need assistance with your embryo transfer program or are looking to improve your current conception rate of frozen embryos with our technical support team. Santa Elena Ranch can help you on your way to a genetically improved Brahman herd.
We invite you to click on our web site, www.santaelenaranch.com and learn more about Santa Elena Ranch and our genetics. Visitors are always welcome, as we are conveniently located in Madisonville, Texas, approximately a one hour drive from Houston. The Ranch is at exit 136 on Interstate 45.

2/28 offers a very stylish and muscular package. His pedigree carries some of the most popular, proven genetics in several generations. His calves are thick, deep in their quarters, stylish and loaded with eye appeal. VL 2/28 has everything that will make the outcross sire for the Red Brahman World.We think 2/28 works best on large frame cows with clean underlines.

He is an extremely well made, balanced bull with impressive muscle, color, and eye appeal.This bull, in our opinion, should be used on small and large frame cows, as he will incorporate bone structure, desirables top lines, plenty of muscle, good color, and eye appeal.

He is a tremendously heavy-muscled bull with a strong top line. 4/95 is extremely correct in term of structure. He has ideal breed character and is well suited to meeting the needs of the Brahman Breed in the tropics. His daughters are very feminine, fertile and are all strong milkers. We have retained many of his daughters in our herd because of their excellence and superior qualities.We recommend 4/95 for use on medium frame females with muscle and clean line. He will incorporate frame, color, and structure into you herd, in addition to adding the high economic trait of fertility and milking ability.

VL Rojo Bueno 4/115 is quite possibly the best producing son of 3 X Maxi- millionaires 56/3. His dam, VL Elena 23/4 is one of our favorite and most consistent producing donors ever. She has clean lines and is a maternal award winning cow with an excellent udder and very desirable teats. 23/4 boasts an MPPA number of 109.9 % and VL 4/115 will impress you with his tremendously long flat hip, heavy hind quarter, and desirable feet and legs; a trait strongly identified with the entire Santa Elena herd. His calves rise to the top weaning weight and exhibit the same outstanding muscle structure as 4/115. We feel 4/115 should be used on solid red cows with medium to large frame size. He will add muscle, bone, and breed characteristics, while improving udder and teats on the females. 4/115 will also clean up the underlines and add power in the hindquarter area.

4/128 is sired by VL Designer 92/1, a bloodline that produces muscle and clean lines. It is also one of the most proven and long lasting lines of cattle at Santa Elena. Descendants of this line are noted for their good udders and desired teat size. His dam, 98/7 is recognized for her milking ability, fertility and strong maternal traits.We suggest you use 4/128 for muscle, outcross genetics, and color as he is one of the darkest pigmented bulls in the Red Brahman world. We are confident he will be an excellent cross to produce 100 % American Red Brahman.

Although still young, 6/125 already has accomplishments to his credit. He has a powerful genetic makeup with a number of proven Register of Renown individuals in his lineage. In addition the individuals in his pedigree are recognized for their strong EPDs and desirable phenotype. 6/125 displays tremendous muscle, a clean sheath and excellent top line. He is a beef bull and has been a favorite of many prominent cattlemen. In addition to his other accomplishments, he has also claimed the National and International Champion bull titles.We feel 6/125 is best suited to be used on large frame cows that need muscle. He will change size and improve top lines, while adding muscle and breed character.

4/128 is sired by VL Designer 92/1, a bloodline that produces muscle and clean lines. It is also one of the most proven and long lasting lines of cattle at Santa Elena. Descendants of this line are noted for their good udders and desired teat size. His dam, 98/7 is recognized for her milking ability, fertility and strong maternal traits.We suggest you use 4/128 for muscle, outcross genetics, and color as he is one of the darkest pigmented bulls in the Red Brahman world. We are confident he will be an excellent cross to produce 100 % American Red Brahman.

10/9 is a medium frame bull loaded with color, muscle, and breed characteristics. He offers the Red Brahman industry an outcross option on Millionaire bred females. Additionally, his daughters have superior milking and mothering ability, while his steers have posted outstanding average daily gain in the feedlot. His calves are low in birth weight making him highly desired by commercial cattlemen.We recommend this bull for large framed females that need additional muscle. We also recommend him to the commercial producer, who will have the management advantage of low birth weight and desired feedlot weight when they use 10/9 in their herd.

Santa Elena Ranch, Inc, is proud to present a new herd sire, VL ROJO GRANDE 15/2. He joins our already impressive lineup of sires. His pedigree is strong, as he is sired by the world famous Register of Renown bull, VL Rojo Grueso 4/95, who is the best son of the most popular bull in the Red Brahman Breed in the USA, 3X Sophisticated Millionaire 80/3. On his maternal side, his dam, VL Elena 5/20 represents one of the oldest and most proven Santa Elena bloodlines. This line has fertility, and the most important trait, maternal ability. She is one of the top donor cows we have had in our embryo transplant program. VL ROJO GRANDE 15/2 expresses natural muscle, tremendous bone, an excellent top line and a very nice clean underline. His first offspring were on the ground in the fall of 2005 and we were very impressed with the results. At Santa Elena Ranch, Inc we have high hopes and definite plans for VL ROJO GRANDE 15/2. We are breeding him to cows with medium frame, lots of muscle, and strong top lines. We believe he will add size, bone, and clean underlines to all his progeny.
