Arcturus comes of Google (A12-005) and Nandi (A15-006). A recorded sale of R200 000 in 2025 adds market proof to her record. Her sire, Google, changed hands for R250 000.

1. What’s in a name? Indeed, why call this beautiful daughter of the famous Google (A12-005) Arcturus? Well, she was not only named after one of the brightest stars, but her name signifies that she will be the guardian of her herd! 2. Where’s she from? We even liked and acquired Arcturus’ dam Nandi (A15-006), before we realized that her sire Google was a 48 3/8” giant. Nandi is a +40” beautiful daughter of our favorite and famous matriarch, the 52 4/8” Kyasha (A07-042). Combining these proven genetics is exactly the approach we pursue at Fire Sky. 3. What could she be? Arcturus is the ideal young heifer thanks to her strong genetic heritage, regardless of whether you are starting out as an Ankole farmer or whether you are looking to add a top animal to your herd. With her distinctive white marking, her offspring could be beautifully mottled if paired with the right bull. This is a once off chance not to be missed! *Fire Sky Satisfaction Warranty included
