First Time Offering! ECC Polled Harvard 793/2 (S) is coming off a win on Brahman cattle’s biggest stage — the International Brahmans Show in Houston, Texas. Out of more than 250 bulls exhibited at the show, Harvard was named the Reserve Senior Yearling Champion, and was the highest placing Polled bull of the entire 2024 Show, grey or red. An incredible honor for a truly remarkable bull! This powerful bull is sired by the National Champion and Register of Renown Sire, “The Graduate,” +JDH Mr. Manso 840. The dam to Polled Harvard is ECC SB Polled Brooke 355/9 (PP), a former show heifer that we own with Simpson Brahmans. Brooke is Homozygous Polled which allowed us to select our pick of any Brahman bull in the breed to achieve a Polled calf, and the resulting offspring certainly did not disappoint! Brooke is the result of crossing ECC El Caporal 301 (S) who is one of our most influential sires over the 2017 International Reserve Intermediate Champion Female, ECC Polled Corinne 595 (P). There is no question that Harvard will be our next influential herd sire. To put things into perspective, the last time we were this excited about a bull was when we introduced you to Polled Maverick. We value this bull for his phenotypic excellence, outcross pedigree, and performance values that chart positive for 13 of the 16 measured traits. Better yet, he passed a breeding soundness exam with flying colors at just 15 months old! Join us in being the first to breed this young sire. Selling 5 straws of semen with 5 A.I. certificates. Additional certificates may be purchased for $100/certificate. The semen can only be used by the buyer and is non-transferable.

BREEDER’S GUARANTEE
We are confident in our females and their ability to be longtime breeders. Open or exposed females are guaranteed to be a breeder. This, however, is not a lifetime insurance policy.

Breeding guarantee is voided if any of the following occur: injury, death, disease, natural disaster, gross negligence or misconduct, heifers not in suitable body condition to breed, or virgin heifers flushed or IVF’d prior to having a natural calf. Should a breeding concern arise, buyer is responsible to report the concern to England Cattle Co. as soon as possible. If an animal fails to breed, it may be returned to ECC in good condition. ECC reserves the right to try said animal for six months, and if it proves to be a breeder, return it at the buyer’s expense. If the animal proves to be a non-breeder, an animal of comparable rank or credit toward the purchase of another animal will be offered. No cash refunds will be given.
