Sunday drives through the young bulls 🐮🤍

Running cattle in thornveld under severe heartwater pressure and summer temperatures that can climb into the 40s requires animals that can look after themselves. Henning Naudé spoke to Priscilla Dent about her breeding philosophy, herd management, and the rebuilding of Double Bar Brahmans.

What does it take to breed cattle that can perform in some of KwaZulu-Natal’s toughest conditions?

A new Farmer's Weekly SA feature takes readers behind the scenes at Double Bar Brahman Stud, where Nick and Priscilla Dent are building on a three-generation family connection to the Brahman breed.

Based near Wartburg, Double Bar cattle are bred and selected in demanding thornveld conditions, where they contend with intense summer heat, long distances between grazing and water, and severe heartwater and tick-borne disease pressure.

It is an environment that has shaped a very clear breeding philosophy: 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗳-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

And the results were very evident at this year's 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱.

🐂 𝗥𝟯𝟬𝟬 𝟬𝟬𝟬 – 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲
🐂 𝗥𝟭𝟬𝟮 𝟬𝟬𝟬 – 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲

Rather than being pushed hard for sale day, Double Bar's young bulls spend much of their development out in the thornveld, walking, grazing and growing under the same conditions in which the breeding herd has to perform.

As Priscilla explains in the article, the aim behind the Double Bar motto “𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻” is very literal.

The Farmers Weekly feature is well worth a read for anyone interested in Brahman breeding, functional cattle and the thinking that goes into producing bulls for the commercial beef producer.
