“The R5,5 million paid for a white saddle back blesbok ram underscores the fact that top genetics in the game industry are highly sought after,” he said.
“The record prices realised at this auction nevertheless surpassed all our expectations. A Kalahari springbok ram with 18-inch horns named Basjan, meanwhile, went for R1,2 million. “A ram of this calibre will obviously add tremendous value to a commercial springbok herd,” said Van Wyk.
