MMJ08-114
Ons is baie opgewonde oor die bul MMJ08-114 wat
ons aangekoop het van Dr. Wynand Basson van
Standerton. 114 het goed gebalanseerde teelwaardes
en is geteel uit ‘n fantastiese koei. Sy moeder
MMJ97-214 het reeds 11 kalwers in 13 jaar gehad
met ‘n TKP van 364 en ‘n Reproduksie indeks van
112. Sy vaar
MMJ03-164 het
geen bekendstelling nodig nie.
Alhoewel MMJ08-114 net twee jaar oud was op die
veiling toon hy reeds baie potensiaal as teelbul.
Met goedgevormde testes, goeie toplyn, uitstaande
bespiering en breedte (om net ‘n paar kenmerke te
noem) glo ons dat die bul vir ons goed sal teel.
Hy is reeds ingespan tussen van die beste koeie in
die kudde.

AG98-338
This bull needs no introduction. AG98-338 was sold
to JAY-EL Bonsmaras, Dr. Joggie Briedenhann, Neil
Rissik and Dawid Visser for a record breaking R800
000 in 2006. He breeds fine offspring and we have
used him heavily in our breeding program. We have
come across few, if any, bulls in the past five
years that breed such well defined muscling such
as AG98-338.

AG04-310
We purchased this sire, half-brother to the
above-mentioned bull AG03-256 in 2007. His sire
AG02-251 is a son of AG98-338. He is a well
fleshed bull with tremendous depth and we are
using him heavily in our insemination program.
|

RCO98-037
RCO98-037 is a bull that breeds well fleshed broad
and hardy cattle. At the ripe age of 12 years this
grand old bull is still as impressive as ever with
the libido of a 2 year old bull. He is notorious
for that his sons are breeding sought after
animals in numerous herds across the country as
well as neighboring Namibia.

BHE03-083
A son of RCO98-037 out of an impressive cow we
purchased at the Fortress dispersal sale in 2006.
We are one of a few breeders currently in
possession of BHE03-083 semen. Quoting Burkhard
Hermann, breeder of BHE03-083, “Probably one of
the highest quality bulls that Fortress has ever
bred” (Fortress News, 2006) it is clear that he
will make an impact in years to come.
|

AG03-029
This bull is definitely one of the finest examples
of almost faultless conformation to be found in
the Bonsmara breed today. We will definitely
intensify our use of this fine bull in the
following breeding seasons. |

AG03-256
This bull was sold for the second highest price in
the Bonsmara breed namely R625 000 in 2009.
AG03-256 is a son of AG98-338 out of a highly
fertile feminine cow AG93-063. His dam, an ELITE
production award nominated cow was purchased by
JAY-EL four years ago. At the age of 17 she is
still producing great calves for us. We are
expecting his first calves in the 2010 season and
look forward to really expanding our application
of this great sire in our herd.
|

MMJ03-164
MMJ03-164 is probably one of the beefiest sons
ever bred by RCO98-037. We have used 164 in both
our A.I. as well as embryo programs and the calves
are getting better and better. He is bred out of a
great proven mother line of Dr. Wynand Basson. We
are fortunate to be one a select few breeders
holding a semen share in this tank of a bull.
Unfortunately MMJ03-164 died in 2010 but we are
privileged to be in possession of more than 2000
straws of semen. Look out for this bull’s
offspring in years to come.

MMJ03-204
MMJ03-204 is seker een van die bulle met die beste
bouvorm wat ons al in ons kudde gebruik het. Die
bul het diepte, lengte en baie breedte wat hy
oordra na sy nageslag. Ons sal sy eerste seuns in
2012 op ons produksieveiling aanbied. Hy het
uitstaande kalwers geteel in ons
embrio-spoelprogam. MMJ03-204 het vir een seisoen
by ons beste trop bulmoeders geloop, so ons kan
met rede opgewonde wees oor die toekomstige rol
wat sy nageslag in ons kudde sowel as die ras sal
speel.
|

AG05-263
AG05-263 is ‘n bul wat ons al vir ‘n paar jaar met
belangstelling dop gehou het. Ons was bevoorreg om
263 te kon koop in 2011 met Paul Mare’ en Cornay
Botma as mede-aandeelhouers. Die bul se moeder is
ook een van die bulmoeders in ons elite kudde.
Soos die foto duidelik toon is die bul so lank
soos ‘n trein. Sy vaar AG03-256 is ook een van die
bulle wat ons in ons KI program gebruik. AG05-263
het baie goeie bespiering wat hy oordra na sy
nageslag. |
|
MMJ04-105
MMJ04-105 is our specialist purpose heifer bull.
Whilst having favorable breeding values for birth
this bull is well fleshed and breeds early
maturing animals. This bull is unrelated to the
majority of our other bloodlines and forms an
exciting link in our breeding chain. |
