Zobuhle takes a dark undertone under her mahogany from her dam, Black Beauty, and her horns stood out well before she was a year old. Dyambo Junior is behind her on the sire's side. Put to a mottled bull she would be expected to produce the black mottled colouring, which is rare and much sought after. She is also the first heifer in her group to come up for a scratch.
From the sale catalogue
*You can really see the care that Annemie puts into these animals by just how quickly Zobuhle runs up for a scratch every time! Thanks to her dam Black Beauty, Princess Zobuhle’s coat has a gorgeous dark undertone accenting her mahogany colour. Her horns already stand out at just over a year old! The remarkable pedigree of her sire Dyambo Junior is already showing. If you match her with a mottled bull, you will breed the exceedingly rare and highly sought after black mottled colouration.
