We first saw JSF Unmarked 2D in late-2016, as a calf on his dam, Jencrest Yavonna 6Y (SSU 6Y). We imported embryos out of his dam, 6Y, and love the calves she has produced for us. We saw Unmarked again in Canada in 2017 and have watched him take both the showring by storm and produce ball-tearing calves that bear his stamp. We produced 12 progeny of Unmarked in 2019 and 2020, with 2019-drop bull, JAD Quistacat Q48 (JAD Q48), being retained as a sire at JAD.

We produced Eldorado progeny here in 2018, 2019, and 2020. His females are very well-made with stylish profiles, great softness and thickness, and they are very quiet.

Eldorado had an IMF of 6.5 and has been a hugely successful sire in the breed, both in his home country of New Zealand and here in Australia.
