UP GEORGE BONSMARAS

A young bull showing an enormous amount of potential with milk, fertility and longevity in his background. A bull who should breed excellent replacement females. He is a son of JRP14-73 (JJ Park, Kingspark Bonsmaras) who was bred from GCD09-111 from the Craig Hanley herd, out of a LAR07-55 cow. Lot 36 has a very productive dam LAR09-315, 110/7 calves, SP Mat 137, a LAR06-224 daughter sold to Willie Anderson in 2018. She has a good record of retention producing 3 bulls for production sales in the past few years. Lot 36’s grandmother LAR04-256 is an Elite-Silver cow who produced consistently well with 105/11 calves with an average mass of 254kgs. She is now with Ruben Essakow of Essakov Bonsmaras. Looking at the extended pedigree of Lot 36, he has solid genes coming to the fore with DAJ05-055 (Justin Stirk) LAR07-055, LAR01-297 (see Lot 14) and LAR00-084 (7 co-ownerships) as well as the notable LAR06-224. Lot 36 has remarkable breeding values to back him, being very positive on wean 130 index, wean weight of 265kgs, exceptional on milk, +10.3 index 123 as well as growth 136 index and topping the D phase test at an index of 130.
