2. Zimbabwean cattle rancher Collins Tafireyi shattered auction records in South Africa by buying a remarkable Boran Stud bull – Lot 10 Cyclone – for an unprecedented R8 million (US$444 000).
The auction happened at 11am at Hurwitz Farming Production Auction at Bull Ring Auction House in Davel, Mpumalanga.
Tafireyi, a Boran breeder from Sinyo Boran Stud in Hwedza in Mashonaland East province in Zimbabwe, beat his friend and neighbour Rogers Sithole of Black Ox Farming to the coveted bull in an intense battle of neighbours fought in a neighbouring country.
The herd was originally established in 1993 with embryos from the scarce Mafundzalo herd in Zambia and has grown into one of the largest registered Boran herds in the world.
After the groundbreaking auction, the record-breaking Boran bull is now on its way to Zimbabwe.
