4 Llewellyn Angus Thoughts on the Excelsus Simbra s The Excelsus Simbra herd was established in 1990 when Hennie De Lange used registered Simmentalers and registered Brahman s as base animals. In year 2000 Graeme and Margi Currin joined forces with Hennie and his stud. They established a herd of high quality true to type animals. The American and specifically Pine Ridge Ranch influence moved the herd into a higher sphere. The blend of SA and American genetics infused high quality red polled animals into Excelsus. Through selected mating they managed to stick to the right type medium framed feminine females and breed well muscled masculine bulls Excelsus bulls have had a profound influence in our own and other stud herds. I regard their herd easily in the top five in the country! A drive through the females with Graeme always leaves me awe-struck as he knows their animals through and through. The total dispersal sale after twenty years of breeding is the opportunity to buy some of the best genetics around. These cattle are superior visually and on their performance figures! Shulie Shulenburg on the Excelsus Dispersal Sale Bulls. Hi Graham Thank you for the exceptional contribution to the Simbra breed! Aangeheg die verslaggie oor die bulle Llewellyn Angus Op 28 Julie het ek die bulle by Excelsus gekeur. Ek moet Hennie en Graham geluk wens met n groep uitstaande bulle. Die volgende bulle het 7 of beter gepunt uit 9: EXL1345C, EXL1384, EXL1441A, EXL14121C, EXL14129, EXL156C, EXL1516, EXL1520C, EXL1532C, EXL1534C. Hoewel van die bulle nog baie jonk is, wys hulle reeds baie potensiaal en behoort die meeste van die bg. bulle te ontwikkel in baie goeie stoet bulle. Flip Snyman on WhatsApp More Oom Hennie! Ek stop elke oggend en elke aand by die jong bulletjies by die mielie land langs die pad! Genade maar hulle is mooi! Flip Snyman has Excelsus Galaxy as his current stud sire!

6 Llewellyn Angus scores the bulls! Llewellyn kindly scored the bulls and this figure is out of nine! The first score is visually and the final score is a combination of the bulls ebv s and his visual score! My own score is reflected as A, A plus or minus and B plus or minus and will definitely show some bias toward some of my favourite bulls.

8 HDL1253B Excelsus Biscay HDL1253B Excelsus Biscay. June 2016 South African EBVS Birth Mat Milk Excelsus Biscay s Calves HDL1253B Excelsus Biscay. Biscay is a product of exhaustive genetic research and planning; building Simbra s from the ground up and into animals that can really lay foundations and make an impact in the Simbra breed. Biscay s journey started in our F1 or New Genetics program utilising top Manso bred females and crossing them with the best Simmentaler bulls that we could find. Hence Biscay boasts Sanjika Shark (Sim) and Bos Blanco553 (Brah) as his grand sires. We have always maintained that an F1 bred from a top Brahman stud animal and out of top Simmentaler stud genetics that both have mile long pedigrees is not the same as any old F1 or F1 cum animal. This union brought us Excelsus Sandra who then was bred to Excelsus Pacific. Pacific brought the colour, length & polled factor and Sandra brought the ear, breadth and hardiness. This proved to be a match worth its salt in combining Sanjika Shark, Bos Blanco 553, Metsibra UDM9453B and PRR Prevail and producing one of our best Excelsus bulls: Biscay. Biscay is possibly the broadest bull that has the most balance that we have seen in a bull since Excelsus Chris and it will always be a pity that he never made it into the show rings. We have used Biscay and he has produced the most precocious F3 calves that look like F1 or first cross animals.

Biandi Devian JVD1087C June 2016 South African EBVS Birth 200 400 600 Mat Milk +0.

Sired by Allerbest Bob from an R2k Jaco daughter, Devian has also a lot of Kamab bloodlines in his pedigree. This is a complete and typical Simbra.

9 Biandi Devian JVD1087C June 2016 South African EBVS Birth Mat Milk JVD1087C Biandi Devian Devian was the closest bull that we could find the fitted our Excelsus template and we used this bull extensively prior to our female dispersal sale. Sired by Allerbest Bob from an R2k Jaco daughter, Devian has also a lot of Kamab bloodlines in his pedigree. This is a complete and typical Simbra. GK1237C Groenkol Zelsor June 2016 South African EBVS Birth Mat Milk GK1237C Groenkol Zelsor Zelsor we found at the National sale at the Kroonstad Boma and had long admired him on his facebook pictures. This is a very hard muscled bull that we used to great effect in breeding our heifers. His pedigree is mostly Groenkol homebred with a smattering of Casjolene genetics.

The Excelsus Simbra Dispersal Sale 18 August 2016 Special Notes and mentions: We at the Excelsus team think that this is perhaps our finest collection of sale bulls fielded on one sale.

10 The Excelsus Simbra Dispersal Sale 18 August 2016 Special Notes and mentions: We at the Excelsus team think that this is perhaps our finest collection of sale bulls fielded on one sale. It is a combination of our current stud bulls, the 2013, 2014 and winter 2015 bull crops and these have been carefully screened. The current stud bulls we would definitely use again and will watch their progress closely at their new homes. Excelsus Biscay will rate as one of the top ten bulls used at Excelsus and joins the illustrious company of Metsibra UDM9453B, Metsibra Tingeling, Maratana Langman, Wisp Will Enos, Excelsus Galen, PRR Prevail, Excelsus Pioneer, Excelsus Pacific, Excelsus Prodigy and Excelsus Penzance. Purchasing a young bull can be a gamble but can also be a huge investment, as said young bull can be used for up to three years and then resold as a very marketable proven stud sire. I remember Dries Viljoen buying Excelsus Terah, using him for three odd years and then re-selling him for a handsome profit. Here you have the choice of proven stud bulls, current stud bulls, potential stud bulls, polled bulls, Namibian imported bulls, Texas imported bulls, top hard commercial bulls, brand new genetic bulls and investment opportunity bulls. The Excelsus way has always been to try to breed a bull that is attractive to the commercial market i.e a bull that is broad, has a good head and hind quarter. These bulls are then reared on the veld, then rounded off for five months before the sale. These bulls run in huge herds and are used to the rough and tumble of the social pecking order. They also are used as a vacuum cleaner polishing off camps after the cows have been through them. These bulls are then rounded off, tested to within an inch of their lives and then offered for sale. We cordially invite you to our Dispersal Sale 18 August 2016!
