5ST180952 was purchased on his Dam's strength of fertility. Sired by Five Star 5ST130839 out of Five Star 110035. A well-fleshed young sire with thickness and capacity but shows the ability to get cover and finish to ensure maximum MSA grading.

5 Star Tarzan

5 Star Tarzan has been our mainstay bull for a number of years. He is a sire with incredible libido and has been a phenomenal calf-getter. One year he achieved 103 pregnancies from 106 cows he covered. His morphology was 94% at time of purchase.  Tarzan is a bull with incredible length and throws sleek-coated calves. He was sired by 5 Star Titan, Grand Champion Senepol bull at Brisbane RNA 2006, out of the 2007 RNA Champion cow Hazledean Benchmark Estelle.
Tarzan won Senior Champion bull at Cairns, Malanda, Atherton and Tully shows in 2011 and Grand Champion Bos Taurus bull at the Cairns show in 2010 and 2011. We have retained many of his daughters in herd.

Testimonial

"We bought Pinnacle Pocket Charlie as a young 1 year old bull. The idea was to put him with our Beefalo cows (a cross breed between American bison and cattle) to improve their tick resistance, increase the red component in the herd and get more polled progeny (because of the bison genetics, Beefalo carry the horned gene). Charlie didn't disappoint:
  • At three years of age he has many calves on the ground and they are all polled!
  • He is still growing, weighing close to 700 kg in the paddock (no feed) with 19 cows to look after.
  • Proserpine is a high rainfall, tropical area, but Charlie's skin is flawless with hardly any ticks at all.
  • He is quiet and very easy to handle. 
Charlie will improve our Beefalo herd and make them more suited for the humid tropical climate".
