When we went looking for our first Boer bucks we decided to go with what we believed were "tried and true" bloodlines. Well, as "tried and true" as we could find in an industry in its infant stages in the U.S. So we purchased bucks that had already been used at least 1 season by someone else whose program we respected. Over the years we made some great choices, and as is usually the case, there were a couple of our choices that could have been better.

We bought this 7 year old frozen embryo from Ewing Dowen in 2005. We wanted some more of the old bloodlines and Sport, who was a double-bred Ubora **ennobled** along with Lobola SA *ennobled* on his dam side, was perfectfor what we wanted. We believe that Sport was one of the finest Boer buck we have ever found. He was described as the "perfect Boer buck" by three different judges, including John Edwards. He was Grand Champion Overall Buck at the 2005 North American International Livestock Expo (NAILE). He was Grand Champion Junior Buck at the 2005 Illinois State Fair, and Grand Champion Overall Boer Buck at the 2005 Kentucky State Fair. Sport never placed less than division champion in every show he attended. We lost Sport before we could use him as heavily as we had wanted, but we have a group of Sport offspring in our breeding program, and are planning on using some of his semen in 2016.
