Tari Graves FM 49
Tari Graves FM 49 was declared by many breeders, even before her death, as one of the most influential Longhorns of all time. Tari was bred by the well known breeder, FM "Blackie" Graves. She was born in 1992 out of a straight butler bull, Mr. Graves and a cow named Texas Tari FM 610.
In late November, Tari died on El Coyote Ranch as one of their top producing female embryo donors. At age 17 she measured 79 7/8" TTT and 87 5/8" TH. Her legacy lives on through such outstanding progeny as Tari's Transition (El Coyote), Eternally Tari (El Coyote)
