Ifofuji was made between Dai 7 Itozakura and Hirota 1 (she has Dai 6 Fujiyoshi blood line on her sire side).Dai 30 Noboru was a descendant of Okayama’s original bull called “Takenotani Tsuru” and goes back 300 years and later this same bull was called “Noboru”. Noboru had been used in the Okayama strain generation after generation. Dai 30 Noboru’s dam was sired by Itofuji and dam by Dai 10 Noboru. Noboru is one of the typical large frame cattle in the Okayama strain.
