The Claydesta 807U5 Cow Family
+MS CLAYDESTA 203-807U5 at V8 Ranch
Origins
During the 1980s, Brangus breeder and Texas oilman Clayton Williams had established an elite herd of Brahman cattle. All of his cattle were named with the “Claydesta” prefix, a combination of Clayton and his wife Modesta’s name. He hosted a special event sale at Houston in 1988, and it was there we purchased +Ms. Claydesta 203-807U5 for a cool $5,000.
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.
