Haped,
the most used bull in SA a few years ago and used heavily by
us for the 2003 calf crop. On October 2003
he fathered a $42,000 heifer selling to Buzzard Hollow Ranch & Bar
5 SA Hero 832M selling at $25,000 to JB Livestock, Wells Crossing & Ferme
Gagnon. His sire is Hadau, the well own H Horex line bull,
who has received a lot of international attention.
Haped’s
dam is Kykos Pedodi, our now deceased Donor who was a Dior
line sired cow. She was a beauty, not big but just
right. In fact, we think this is the real plus in Haped, she
moderates the Hadau power and frame.
Anyway,
you will hear a lot of Haped
as this next year or so. H Line – means pigment, calving ease and good muscle. Excellent
well balanced cattle, they will not blow you away but they will
more than satisfy you. Breed with Evan blood, K Kater 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 wil 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.
