NEW SOUTH
AFRICAN SIMMENTALER RECORD PRICE
17-month-old Simmentaler bull sells for
R450k
On 9 June 2021 a
new record was set in the history of the
Simmentalers. The formidable young bull,
Rivervalley Rick AB206, who was bred by Peter
and Lucille Abrahamse of the Rivervalley
Simmentaler Stud, Three Rivers, was sold for a
record price of R450,000 (VAT excl).
Rivervalley Rick,
a 17-month-old bull (born on 24 January 2020)
was the BLUP Champion at the Lichtenburg Show of
2021. This was an out-of-hand sale, and
when asked how Warwick determined the value of
Rick, he says "He is the best bull I have ever
seen for his age. I made a mistake in not buying
his grandfather, Zaire."
Congratulations to
the proud buyers, Warwick Hughes of Hughes
Simmentaler stud, Bloemfontein and Werner
Stander of Stansim Simmentaler stud, George. We
hope to hear much more from this champion bull
in the near future.
