Naturally mated and IVF sire.

Elmo Picasso was selected at Beef 2018 and purchased privatelyfor $40,000. Our breeding objectives aligned with the breeders ofthis exciting sire. A homozygous POLLED bull with strong head,clean underline, abundance of length and width and a quiettemperament. His sire has produced very consistent progeny and hewas collected at 19 months of age. His dam, Elmo Lady Lucille855/5 (PP), conceived at 16.5 months and is very sound in theudder. She had two calves in a row with a days-to-calvinginterval of 358 and was pregnancy tested heavily back incalf.

Picasso had semen collected successfully straight after Beef2018, a great achievement at only 19 months of age and so soonafter a stressful event. For a bull of his age, he has a veryevident large scrotal circumference. His grandmother is stillproducing in the Elmo herd.

His Breedplan figures indicate so far that he is above average inDTC, SS and EMA.
