A Champion in the Ring
Known as “Chambord,” DB Southern Style 2/023 quickly made his mark on the breed. In 2023, he was named Dallas Reserve Grand Champion Red Brahman Bull, a title that reflects his elite combination of muscle, structure, and breed character. His ring presence, balance, and red-hided appeal captured the attention of judges and breeders alike.
EPD Highlights & Pros
Chambord’s EPD profile supports what is seen in the pasture and the show ring:
Birth Weight (BW 2.68, Top 3%) – Low birthweight genetics give him calving ease versatility.
Yearling Weight (YW 26, Top 75%) – Solid yearling growth potential, complementing his phenotype.
Milk (MK 5, Top 75%) – Balanced maternal input, ideal for producing productive replacement females.
Carcass Strength (REA 0.30, Top 1%) – Exceptional ribeye area, a key indicator of muscle and carcass merit.
Fat Thickness (FT 0.01, Top 60%) – Balanced carcass composition for efficient beef production.
These values highlight Chambord’s ability to sire calves that are structurally sound, show-ready, and commercially valuable.
