Santa Gertrudis

Ons het onlangs 54 Santas laat slag op Vryburg en het ‘n uitslag % van 58.60% behaal. Al die karkasse, behalwe 2,  het A2 gradeer. Ons het ‘n merkbare styging in uitlsagpersentasie bemerk vandat ons die Santas in ons kudde het en sien uit daarna om nog beter te doen. Santas is tops.

Positive Santa breeding points in the Cross breeding program.
Mothering ability is very good, weaners last year averaged in the mature herds 265 kg.
Santa carcasses at the abattoir are always of the heaviest.
Temperament is good in view of the fact that it has a zebu component.
Lots of people say the Santa is soft but infused with other breeds we do not find this. Our breeder of Hereford bulls in the program, says the Santa sired herds are of the finest commercial female herds he has seen.
The SANTA bulls have given us good service with no sheath problems and longevity.
In summary, if you wish to breed beef which can be finished as slaughter animals off your veld, the Santa in the program is a must. 16 000 commercial matings bear justice to that statement.

Ons kan getuig van wonderlike kruisteling!  Daar is ‘n veeboer in die Lichtenburg area wat al 8 bulle by ons geneem het. Hy is hoogs tevrede met die kallers wat gebore word, en ek glo die fotos getuig self van hoe goed mens kan kruisteel met Santa Gertrudis.
