From the sale catalogues
She’s got more than just a name that turns heads—Pesa carries herself with poise, purpose, and pedigree. A daughter of NANK 07-054, a cow renowned for her fertility and consistency (with an impressive ICP of 347), and NANK 07-071 Dimbaza, known for depth and maternal strength, Pesa is built on a foundation of reliability and grace. 7 months in calf to a multisire pairing of Kovu and Tarzan. That’s not just a calf—it’s a future champion in the making, with the potential to inherit Tarzan’s horn structure and Kovu’s elegance.
