We also have CABR Puma, a new addition which we strongly believe in.
Standout female lines: we imported more than 1,500 frozen embryos from the Hudgins to comprise our female lines. In addition to this, we purchased IPC 800 Gloria 154, a cloned donor which made history in our herd and produced Dhifalla, Mussambe’s mother.

Genetics currently being used: Casa Branca invests a lot in our breeding programs, searching for top genetics at the best farms in the US and importing semen from herds such as JDH and V8. We also breed with our own standout sires.
