The
Great Bull with the bad photo !! Photo here when he was
just a calf at Salerika, and never photographed again?
Any way, top side he has the Pfalzer P line of muscle power
bulls. On the Maternal side, his grandmother is Eve herself,
the most prolific cow in South Africa. She is in more pedigrees
in SA than any other animal; rivaled only by the old German
Imported Benz and then Evan, her son.
Evan
is still the sire of Power in SA, the 2003 Grand Champion
at Pretoria was an Evan. Some will say that the H Horex
is the show dominate bloodline, but it will be many years
until
H catches up to old Evan, if ever, in the show ring or
production side of things. Please note, Elsa is an Evan.
Most is Evan.
Evan
is a Trait Leader in 4 traits, Calving ease, Weaning, Yearling
and Carcass Traits; summed up as a moderate calver
with lots of muscle. Add in dark pigmentation and great
feet and legs as the transmittable traits of Evan. So,
here he
is a cornerstone in the Bar 5 SA program and the best
of South Africa.
P
Pfalzer Line – means pigment, calving ease and good
muscle. Excellent well balanced cattle, they have muscle
but may not please your eye completely, so be patient, they
will come around. Breed with K Kater blood, H blood, B Bison
blood, K Kerl/Ibbie blood and you have the BIG 5 of South
Africa. Hell, you all thought the Big 5 were animals, well,
no it is these 5 power bloodlines. We at Bar 5 SA are adding
in some E Eder, S Streik, some M Marbot and some G Gold to
the mix – but we will not forget the Big 5. Sure, we
will breed more and you will get it, but we will produce
cattle with only a shot or two of the Big 5 and let you do
the crossing. More on this in other footnotes.
