Beautiful bull with an almost perfect breed value exhibiting excellent masculinity
The perfect Boran frame for carrying maximum beef is a heritable trait that this bull will pass-on to ALL the calves that it will *sire* over the next 5 years.
How many calves should Mr Tafireyi of MashEast expect this elite Boran bull to sire?
*Direct controlled breeding* will result in the bull servicing a maximum of 50 cows and calving 40 calves or 200 over five years.
Out of the 100 young bulls carrying 50% elite genetics of Cyclone pedigree bull valued at R8million, Mr Tafireyi will be able to sale at least half of the young bulls @ 10,000 and recover us$500,000.
The other 100 calves wean into breeding heifers. Whether retained or sold as pure bred commercial breeding heifers , these will generate more value for the farmer.
Most owners of TOP elite bulls like this one will engage a certified Veterinarian to harvest bull semen and prepare straws for Artificial Insermination! When demand is high, this farmer could harvest for sale 25,000 -30,000 straws per year or 125-150k straws for Artificial insemination (A.I)
The commercial beef cattle farmers from the 25,000 newly resettled A2 farms and small scale commercial farms can therefore potentially benefit from this superior Boran bull by buying the straws @$30 -$50 a straw. Another 40-50k additional calves can be sired virtually by this bull further spreading it’s superior genetics into the national herd . The sale of semen can potentially generate us$750-900k for Mr Tafireyi just from selling the straws from this Boran bull to shrewd cattle farmers shifting to Artificial Insemination to infuse the best bull genetics into their commercial beef cattle herd at least cost.
Hopefully we can admire the impressive bull and appreciate the *shrewd business acumen* of Mr Tafireyi of MashEast in offering a competitive R8million (USD 440k) to buy this stud bull!
