Recipient Included / Heifer sells WITH Recipient 1. What’s in a name? Spica – the shining jewel in the sky! We also believe it to be an appropriate name to describe the exceptional mottled skin of this young heifer. 2. Where’s she from? Every single heifer born on Fire Sky is the result of a specific decision with regards to the genetic potential of the parents. Spica’s dam Kamali (A11-526) is a classic Ankole cow out of the first-generation animals A07-006 and A07-018. Kamali is also the dam of our stud breeding bull Zeus. Spica’s sire Ruhugo (A21-003) is our second stud breeding bull, also out of the proven first-generation animals A06-001 and A06-009. 3. What could she be? This absolutely picture-perfect mottled heifer comes directly from grandparents that are all proven foundational (first generation) animals. We have deliberately sourced the best and widest range of genetic material to be able to produce unique and special heifers like Spica! *Fire Sky Satisfaction Warranty included
