Despedida de una Leyenda: VL Rojo Designer 2/70

Con profundo pesar, anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestro reconocido semental de la raza Brahman Rojo, VL Rojo Designer 2/70. Un verdadero ícono que dejó una huella imborrable en la raza, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.

VL Rojo Designer 2/70 fue mucho más que un campeón en las pistas. Su mayor legado vive en los animales de alto rendimiento que produjo, reconocidos por sobresalir no solo en exposiciones, sino también en los pastizales —adaptándose a diferentes climas y condiciones extremas en todo el mundo.

Hoy se reúne con su estimado padre, VL Rojo Designer 78/5, y su querida madre, VL Elena 108/6. Juntos, seguirán guiando el rumbo de la genética Brahman desde las praderas eternas.

Gracias, 2/70, por las memorias, los logros y la gran marca que dejaste en nuestra raza. Te extrañaremos profundamente, pero tu legado vivirá por siempre.

Team Santa Elena Ranch

Farewell to a Legend: VL Rojo Designer 2/70

With profound sadness, we share the passing of our internationally recognized Red Brahman herd sire, VL Rojo Designer 2/70. A true icon, he made a lasting impact on the Red Brahman breed—both nationally and internationally.

VL Rojo Designer 2/70 was more than a champion in the show ring. His greatest legacy lies in the performance-driven cattle he sired, known for thriving not only in competition but also in the pastures—across a wide range of climates and conditions. His genetics brought consistency, adaptability, and excellence to breeders around the world.

He now joins his respected sire, VL Rojo Designer 78/5, and beloved dam, VL Elena 108/6. Their legacy lives on in every calf that carries their influence.

Thank you, 2/70, for the memories, the milestones, and the mark you’ve left on the breed. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Team Santa Elena
