Meet Spark (aka Sparkles) Born 18 September 2003 (above as 4yr)
Otapawa Spark 3060 ET is our keeper bull. He is a flush sibling to Lot 1, 2005 Sale, and the National Entry 2005. Spark is everything in one package. Sired By D'artagnion and out of Donor Dam Spot P30. Spot P30 Is now listed under Historical Dams.
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 2005. (grass only).
We have some very good calves on the ground now ....photos soon. Hi
Semen is for sale from Spark. We will also collect for Export. Enquiries to Stuart Robbie Otapawa@xtra.co.nz
