Grandview Brahman’s award-winning bull GBS 09 10 was sold to a buyer from Botswana for R250 000.
The Brahman is suited to extensive cattle farming in arid and semi-arid regions and does well on poor grazing in extensive conditions.

and was later sold for R250 000 to Rudi Lemcke from Botswana. Most of the Grandview Brahmans are naturally mated.
“I artifically inseminate the top 10% of the Brahman herd and the two other studs to introduce new genetics,” Heinrich explains. “I use the best genetics I can find, such as JD Hudgins from the US and Llewellyn Labuschagne from Letsitele’s R10 stud.
Most of the Grandview bulls achieved Phase C performance gold merit status in 2011 and the average Grandview Brahman ICP is 387 days.”
In 2009 Heinrich decided to breed Simbras, as the breed’s prepotency and hybrid vigour make it an excellent choice for commercial beef producers.
COMMERCIAL HERD
Heinrich chose Brafords for his commercial herd because of the longevity, fertility and high weaner weights of this breed.
“I bought Droughtmaster genetics at the Considerata Droughtmaster Stud’s recent sale. I believe they’ll add value to my business.
I don’t mix my stud and commercial herds but cull any animals that don’t meet my standards,” he says.
SHOW
Show ring competition is important to Heinrich, a qualified interbreed judge.
“There’s no better way of marketing animals,” he stresses. “The show ring allows stud breeders to compete with the rest of the breed’s stud animals and establish a good name in the industry. My advice to other young breeders is to attend as many shows as possible to learn the breed standards for functional efficiency. Established breeders already have buyers; new entrants must work to find them.”
Questioned on his business philosophy, Heinrich says he tries to stay humble and quotes Abraham Lincoln: “I’ve been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day.”
BRAHMAN STUD
Heinrich started the Grandview Brahman stud in 2005. “Brahmantype cattle are suited to extensive cattle ranching in arid and semi-arid regions. Brahman and Simbra are good choices for communal farmers because of their hardiness and ability to do well on poor grazing.”
He bought 10 heifers from the Hunt Brahman stud in Warrenton and mated them to Sugarland bulls, as he was impressed with the strong bone, fertility, milk production and maternal ability of the Sugarland animals. The current herd bull GBS 08 12 was bred from this line; he formed part of the Armoedsvlakte Agricultural Institute’s 2012 perfor-mance testing programme and attained gold merit status and best of breed ADG of 2,2kg per day with a growth index of 156.
Grandview cow GBS 07 07 was selected as the 2012 National Champion White Brahman Cow at the Vryburg show. Her first calf was the 2012 Intermediary Champion
The Grandview Simbra Stud was started in 2009.
Heinrich chose Brafords for his commercial herd because of their fertility,longevity and high weaner weights.
Heinrich bought the farm Lovedale about 60km north of Vryburg in partnership with his parents Bokkie and Amanda Bruwer
two years ago.

Improvement of thecowherd through female selectionis not effective. It is 90% more effective by continuously using good bulls. (LRF)

Choosing a bull from a stud breeder to improve a commercial cowherd is today much easier than before EBVs were discovered. Why EBVs? The largest portion of what you see in a bull is controlled by the environment (food, management, weather, etc.) and the smaller portion is due to genetics. Only the genetic component is transmitted to his progeny. However, we can’t see this genetic component separately from the environment’s influence and therefore breeders of all breeds all over the word use the BLUP technology to estimate the genetic component and express it as an EBV. As the name implies, Estimated Breeding Value is an estimate of an animal’s value as a parent for a particular production trait such as growth rate in other words an estimate of how he will breed. The most important advantage of EBVs is that animals are comparable within a breed, between herds and over years.
I mention above “choosing a bull from a stud breeder”. Why? Because pedigrees and performance testing are essential for EBVs and consequently stud or pedigree breeding.
The bull is the herd
A long term selection study in the USA has clearly proven the power of bull selection versus selection applied to females. Using yearling weight, bull selection accounted for almost 90% of the total genetic improvement. The result is presented in the figure. We suggest breeders enlighten their commercial clients about this.
In central Europe they realised the importance of the bull years ago when they introduced the male-licensing-law (Germany, where I experienced it, introduced in 1930) which stipulates that only licensed males (bulls, boars, stallions, etc.) may be used on any type of female – pure, commercial or crossbred. Licensing by an independent governmental appointed committee of experts is based on performance and structural correctness. For the last two decades the performance component stipulates positive EBV’s with a minimum accuracy. Bulls without EBVs or with negative EBVs must be slaughtered and everybody is happy with this because this system continually improves their herds and the countries livestock industry.
To ensure sound breeding all EU countries have compulsory licensing of bulls. The UK also recognized the value of the bull long ago by introducing the “Improvement of Livestock (Licensing of Bulls) Act, 1931”.

Improvement of theDie jaarlikse gebeurtenis het plaasgevind in Johannesburg op 15 -17 Augustus 2013.
Nasrec Uitstalsentrum
Verskeie rolspelers in die Landbou- en Nywerheidsektor het uitgestal. Die doel van die uitstalling was om die Opkomende boerdery mark te voorsien van praktiese bruikbare inligting. Heelwat klem word gelê op selfdoenaksies, praktiese demonstrasie soos die melk van ‘n koei of melkbok het baie aandag getrek.
Die Ekspo word bygewoon deur boere, studente, skoliere, sommige uit die hart van Johannesburg, vir party was dit die eerste kennismaking met ‘n Brahmanbees. Dit het gelei tot ‘n foto-neem aksie, wat natuurlik deur “facebook” oraloor gestuur word. Anton Loggenberg het sy beeste beskikbaar gestel vir die uitstalling. Die Brahmanras was deel van ses beesrasse wat aan die uitstalling deelgeneem het nl. Afrikaners, Tuli, Hereford, Nguni en Jersey as melkras. Verskeie kleinveerasse is ook uitgestal, dan was daar melkbokke, en ‘n volledige Varkeenheid vanaf Kanhym.
Volgens die Organiseerders was meer besoekers deur die hekke as in 2012. Ons het boere vanuit die Ooskaap, Limpopo, Mpumalanga en Vrystaat gehad wat ons besoek het.
Baie vrae is beantwoord oor:
1. Hoekom Brahmane? 2. Wat onderskei die Ras? 3. Waar kan met hom geboer word?
Van die eerste navrae is al in die kantoor oor opgradering hanteer.
Geleenthede soos hierdie plaas die Brahman op die voorstoep van mense wat andersins nooit met die Ras kontak sou hê nie.

Ons wil ons opregte dank uitspreek teenoor die borge wat die Pretoriaskou vir ons finansieël moontlik gemaak het. Die kostes vir telers soos, voeding om diere skougereed te maak, transport om diere by die skou te kry, inskrywingsfooi, touleierslone en rantsoene, akkommodasie tydens skou, alternatiewe reëlings op die plaas terwyl teler by die skou is, raak so hoog dat dit ‘n groot oorweging vir telers is om te skou. Indien daar nie skoue is nie sal ons nie ‘n geleentheid hê om ons diere te evalueer en aan mede
telers en die publiek bekend te stel nie. Ons borge help om die finansiële verpligting ligter te maak en daarom wil ons graag ons borge die nodig erkenning en blootstelling gee. Dit is vir my aangenaam om die volgende borge te bedank vir hulle bydra.
