Meet Spark (aka Sparkles). Born 18 September 2003
(3.5yrs above right)
Otapawa Spark 3060 ET is our keeper bull. He is a flush sibling to Lot 1 2005,and the National Entry 2005. Spark is everything in one package. Sired By D'artagnion and out of Donor Dam Spot P30.
He has 100% pigment, a dark soft coat and skin, an awesome carcase with depth, spring of rib and length, a smooth shoulder and impeccable structure. Not to mention a beautiful temperament. He is a powerful young bull with a pedigree stacked with great genetics. We used him heavily as a yearling but he has cruised through mating and was only rested from the cows at the end of February. He currently weighs 962kgs, Oct 20. (grass only).
Semen is for sale in Spark. Export available. Enquiries to Stuart Robbie Otapawa@xtra.co.nz
