The Claydesta 807U5 Cow Family

+MS CLAYDESTA 203-807U5 at V8 Ranch

Origins

In the 1980s, Brangus breeder and Texas oilman Clayton Williams established an elite herd of Brahman cattle. All of his cattle were named with the prefix “Claydesta”, which was created by blending Clayton’s name with his wife’s name, Modesta. The Williams hosted a special event sale at Houston in 1988, and it was there that we purchased +Ms. Claydesta 203-807U5 for $5,000. We’d call that a smart investment, considering that we’ve seen over $2 million (and counting…) in cattle sales from this family.

Lineage

+Ms. Claydesta 203-807U5 is the daughter of two Houston Champions, (+)WR Mr. Suva 203 and the famous International Champion +Miss Diamond T 432 cow. 807U5 was bred to V8 herd bulls like +Mr. V8 700/3 and (+)JDH Charley Manso 590/6, and we’re not exaggerating when we say it made magic.

what makes her special?

When they are born, each of Sloan and Mollie Williams’ grandchildren and great-grandchildren receive one heifer to start their Brahman herd. It is presumed that the parents will select the ranch’s top heifer at that time. Six picks have been made, and three of them were from the Claydesta 807U5 cow family.
