All
the Big 5 right in the first 5 places of her pedigree - she
is a rare jem of genetic structure, of which I do not know
of one that exists in South Africa. The Big 5 walks the
pastures in Markdale. Now, we will mate her to the Next
Ten sire lines we have to use, oh, what fun!
A
direct daughter of Haped, the power bull of South Africa .
So, "H" sire lines on Kalger on Evan (Eve) on Ibbie (K Kerl)
on on the "E" cows, then add the "P" cows behind Haped, you
just know there is maternal power here - for these embryos,
we then mated her back to the Bar 5 SA Benz 415L bull, who
is mothered by Fiona. She sold as Lot 31 last April, but purchased
by Paulo Marques of Brazil, May 20 kind of delayed shipment,
so we cancelled the female sales, Paulo kept Mr. Powerful.
So, we realized what we had and decided to keep her. You may
now share in the potential of this female.
"Yes,
for us in South Africa Eve was the starting point of some
great cattle but I purchased Eve in 1975 in Germany for the
first world congress in 1976 because she was a type of heifer
that could represent Germany at a congress but also because
she had a great dam in Ernte (and I am sure damline) behind
her - I don't know what happened to Ernte's other calves. Interesting
is that Eve is out of the then top MILK bull Perutz, a son
of Prafekt. Perutz was a frame score 3 (in Fleckvieh
language a wither height of only 142cm) but we did not
import a lot of semen because he had "too much milk".(Shows
you milk Fleckvieh (only Fleckvieh) bulls can also breed
beef - Eve's fathers daughters in app 1972 averaged
5700kg/4% ). His sire, a frame
score 5, was a great bull who bred top hair quality animals
and we imported a lot of his progeny. Although many
of them were too spotted for our liking. Prafekt, bred
something, what most breeders today don't understand or cannot
see and that is ADEL (German) or nobility in English. Many
German breeders couldn't understand that some of our South
African buyers walked in their barn and pointed out all the
Prafekt progeny by looking at the animal's face and not on
the paper. Here I refer to head slightly dished between
the eyes, prominent thick wrinkled skin around the eyes, with
large placid expression eyes and especially the wide, oval
and strong mussle which only the Simmentaler (and to a certain
extend Brown Swiss) is known for. What's that got to
do with beef production? Animal's with a quality head
have quality written all over them - a pliable loose skin
with short glossy hair which is so important in our part
of the world and normally goes together with a fine to medium
bone structure instead of these heavy bound frame 7+ elephants
which is a down fall for any breed in Southern Africa."
