PURPLE RAIN MATETSI SABLE ANTELOPE
In the spring of 2010 we acquired our first breeding stock of Matetsi Cows and Heifers from Piet Du Toit. These cows were all in calf to the well-known “Prince” and we were fortunate enough to keep him with the herd for a further year.
In early 2012 the herd was split and over the next few years we bred with “Morton”, a bull from Tembani, “Piet” (43.5”), who was recently sold on auction, and “Mauritz” (45”).
In our relentless quest to breed using genetically superior sable Sires from proven bloodlines we recently acquired one of the most sought after Matesti Sables Bulls from Tembani who is son of the famous “Rapella” (51”) -”Kariba”who at only 4 years of age measures incredibly well at 45”. After conducting Nuclear DNA tests, we can confirm that "Kariba" is 98% pure Matetsi Sable Antelope.
