Okuharu was produced from the ideal mating of FB1614 – “Haruki 2 (IMP JAP)” to FB1616 – “Okutani (IMP JAP)”.
Her sire, “Haruki 2” was born on April 24, 1992 in Yamanashi Prefecture and has always remained in the shadows of his paternal brother “Michifuku (IMP JAP)” over the years. Since Breedplan was established in Australia, “Haruki 2” has become a breed leading sire for gestation length, 200 day weights, 400 day weights, 600 day weights with a superb IMF (intramuscular fat) score of +0.8.
Her dam, “Okutani (IMP JAP)”, is one of the “original three” WKS girls who died shortly after her arrival to the USA – after just two flushes.
Okutani was considered to have the most potential of the three due to her tremendous sire stack of “Okushige” x “Kikutani” x “Dai 7 Itozakura”. “Okushige” was Number 1 for BMS in Japan in 1990 (one of three full siblings to hold this honor) – “Kikutani (JAP)” and “Dai 7 Itozakura (JAP)” are still considered two of the top 10 sires ever in Japan!!
“Okuharu” would be a full brother to FB2289 – Beijiro (USA) (who is currently commanding $200 per straw) / FB5200 Genjiro (CAN) and a 3/4 brother to Overflow Mihashi / Overflow Oskar in Australia.
The cloning rights to a full sister of Okuharu sold for a record price of $26,000.00 at auction in Texas in 2012.
