The Fire Sky Ankole Bulls Catalogue
The Fire Sky Breeding Bulls
In the past 2 years we travelled the country, took part in the auctions and accumulated over 20 bulls, from which we selected only the top 4 for our future breeding program. We also have semen from famous bulls like Mr. President, Uganda, and others to choose from. We had all 4 our young bulls tested and evaluated (certificates are available) and we only use sexed semen produced from them through Ramsem in Bloemfontein.
NANK19-018 Dyambo Junior
Measurements 19/08/2024:
Length 43 3/8″, Base 22″, Weight 702KG
Dyambo Junior is a son of the iconic 49 4/8″ Dyambo who is well known for breeding exceptional offspring with thick and long horns. Dyambo has sired many exceptional heifers and bulls in the industry. Dyambo Junior carries superb genetics that are not easily surpassed. His famous sire is a BA1 and A4 combination, but he possesses an additional dose of all things great through his dam, a BA1 and A5 product. This young bull stands out amongst the Dyambo sons, because of the absolutely amazing genetics from the dam’s side. He will be an anchor stud bull for all our BA2 and BA3 cows. Dyambo Junior has quickly converted his potential into demonstrable growth and performance.
R19-04 Zeus
Measurements 19/08/2024:
Length 41 6/8″, Base 20 4/8″, Weight 754KG
Zeus is an exceptional bull for his age in mass and horn growth. At just under 4 years of age he weighed 750kg! With prominent male features, he is a perfect Ankole bull specimen. His sire is the phenomenal ANKGEN6-015, which has been the stud bull of Rydens for years! His BA1 and A13 sire combines well with the double BA2 bloodlines from his dam Kamali.
At the early age of 18 months old when we selected him, he already showed all the potential to grow into a phenomenal breeding bull. He is well adapted to our harsh bushveld with his hardened and tick resistant deep dark brown skin. Everything about his body and build spells masculinity. We may not have bred this monster but we picked him well and he is delivering! He is very fertile and we will soon have lots of his offspring. Combining Zeus and Kyasha was definitely a highlight for us in 2023!
R20-08 Titan
Measurements 19/08/2024:
Length 34 2/8″, Base 23″, Weight 664KG
This young giant was earmarked for the Moletši Community Project before Martin Joubert picked him as one of our best young bulls some time ago. Bred by Rydens, he combines BA1/A13 with BA1/A21 (the same sire as Zeus). He has very masculine features and a perfect Ankole body. He took longer to adjust to our harsh bushveld conditions, but he is now flourishing. The advantage of getting experienced Ankole farmers inputs can not be overemphasized. As new entrants, we would have missed Titan’s unique potential. He will now be an integral part of our scientific breeding program.
A21-003 Ruhugo
Measurements 19/08/2024:
Length 31 4/8″, Base 16 4/8″, Weight 584KG
This young giant is proof of what can be achieved with the BA2 bloodline. The sire was a BA2 and A17 combo, and his dam is the iconic Sheba, herself a BA2 and A10 combination. If Ruhugo continues to grow as he has done in his first 3 years, he will be unmatched for size! He currently weighs in at a phenomenal 550kg! He is a super fertile bull, with strong offspring. At 21kg average weight, his offspring makes for easy calving.
The name Ruhugo describes his beautiful deep red colour, combined with a loose and smooth skin which makes him well adapted to the harsh and warm bushveld. It is only his huge and perfectly balanced frame that makes his above average horn length not look more pronounced.
