First Bonsmara Bul
15 MAY 1957
Prof. JC Bonsma
Detailed
records
of
the
performance
of
the
bulls
and
that
of
their
proginy
were
kept,
and
the
resulted
herds
and
their
records
will
now
be
studied
in
detail
by
Professor
Bonsma
(after
whom
the
Bonsmara
was
named)
and
other
officials
of
the
department
who
have
been
associated with the development of the breed.
Dr.
DM
Joubert
"a
co-worker"
who
has
just
completed
a
short
history
of
the
breed,
told
Farmer's
Weekly
that
the
future
of
the
first
modern
South
African
breed
of
cattle
was
now
in
the
balance
and
that
the
results
achieved
with
the
Bonsmara
Bulls
loaned
to
the
farmers
would
largely
determine whether it merited acknowledgement or not.
In
the
event
it
did
just
that
and
numerically
the
Bonsmara
today
is
the
largest
beef
cattle
breed
in
South
Africa,
and
it
is
also
unique
in
that
it
is
only
beef
breed
developed
with the exclusive aid of performance tested records.
