2024 Bull Sale

Lot 1 HTM22T98 PV b. 16/8/22

Sire: Texas Iceman R725

Sire of dam: Carabar Docklands D62

An outstanding individual here. An Iceman son who is more and more impressive every day. He is extremely well balanced and has beautiful extension through the front end with undoubted sire appeal. T98 has wonderful carcass traits and carries himself like a sire. His mid-parent IMF EBV was 1.8 prior to genomic and raw data input and, although he was the highest IMF scanning bull in the entire draft, his IMF dropped to 0.5 - I don't get it - you make your own decision!! By Docklands, his dam, N48, is a favourite and has recently weaned a lovely Bonus heifer. She is from a high producing female line - her maternal sister is the dam of the outstanding Thedford calf at Lot 6.

Lot 2 HTM22T53 PV b. 20/8/22

Sire: The Rock Momentum Q8

Sire of dam: Ayvale Bartel E7

T53 has a very wide range of applications for any herd. He was joined to stud heifers in the spring of 2023 and has really accelerated with his performance since. He is beautifully put together - plenty of carcass with great fat distribution, he's correct in his structure and was the equal second highest IMF scan in both drafts of bulls. His dam, L97 was flushed last year and we have some really nice ET calves hitting the ground now and she has recently calved to Booragul Prime Minister S171.

Lot 3 HTM22T80 PV b. 25/6/22

Sire: Campaspe Rocks Quinton Q17

Sire of dam: Millah Murrah Kingdom K35

A Beast Mode grandson, T80 is as thick as they come with a moderate growth pattern, he will produce the type that can finish easily and produce some real longevity into his daughters. Very high EMA data and it's on display phenotypically.

Lot 4 HTM22T51 PV b. 18/8/22

Watch the video of Lot 4

Sire: Campaspe Rocks Duty R60

Sire of dam: AAR Ten X 7008

T51 is a very long bodied bull in the mould of his dam M145, who will produce her seventh calf this year and still looking like a young cow having just weaned a very nice young Bonus bull calf. T51 is a really docile bull with very correct feet and legs. He's impressive. He’s a big barrelled bull and I think one of the highlights of the draft.

Lot 5 HTM22T96 PV b. 16/8/22

Watch the video of Lot 5

Sire: Texas Iceman R725

Sire of dam: Deer Valley All In

By the record breaking Texas Iceman and from a big, stretchy All In female who will produce her eighth calf this spring, having just weaned a nice young Ashland bull calf. T96 is a free moving bull, correct and with extra length of body, will be a kg producer.

Lot 6 MNT23U5 PV b. 24/3/23

Sire: Hoffman Thedford

Sire of dam: Deer Valley All In

By the bull that's sold the house down in the USA this year, this Thedford calf has all the room in the world to grow into a formidable sire. He's long bodied with such a soft, supple skin. He moves with such freedom indicating that he's structurally right and his feet and leg angles are spot on, plenty of heel depth and good hock shape. He also has a beautifully laid in shoulder with a nice even suite of data. His dam is a full sister to the dam of Lot 1 and is a highly valued contributor here.

Sire: Ascot Phoenix P422

Sire of dam: Quaker Hill Mile High

One of the favourites of the Angus draft, T3 is a Capitalist 316 grandson and is built similarly. He has a beautiful muscle pattern with good coverage and finishes off through the hindquarter just how we like them. A free moving, active bull who was the 5th highest IMF scanning bull of both drafts. We've flushed his dam successfully and weaned a number of impressive ET calves recently. She has another bull calf at foot currently.

Watch video of Lot 9

Sire: Ascot Phoenix P422

Sire of dam: Texas Louis Vuitton L618

We really like this Phoenix son. He is earlier maturing in his pattern, born unassisted out of a 2 year old Tex Louis Vuitton daughter. She will be a very strong producer for us going forward. T4 has a very desirable temperament with a data set indicating ease of calving with high carcass merit.

Lot 10 HTM22T90 PV b. 10/8/22

Watch the video of Lot 10

Sire: The Rock Momentum Q8

Sire of dam: Campaspe Rocks Docklands M11

A real mover in the draft here, T90 has added length of body and a really well laid shoulder. The Momentums are structurally really good and they have the bonus of being heifer suitable while bending the carcass curve. This bull is top 11% for IMF and was the 4th highest scan for IMF in the draft.

Real maternal merit in T59. His dam, M131 is a daughter of one of John Knight's most productive females Dream F99. He is a high yielding type bull with the extra length of body that his dam exhibits. Very correct in structure as are all the Onyx R61 progeny. He is a low birthweight bull with top 10% muscling.

He has the depth of body that we really strive for and the quiet disposition that Herefords are famous for. His dam, Q168, is a consistent producer of high performers. T131's maternal brother sold to Roseberry Park in 2023 for $9,000. Stud potential.

He has a great skin, the right aesthetics and carcass to burn. His full brother sold to the great herd of the late Chris Lisle at Tummel in 2023.

Homozygous polled. This is a 2 year old heifer's first calf arriving unassisted. His sire, R254, sold for $13,000 to Tom Bell at Coonabarabran and is doing a great job. He was a tremendous performance bull being well over 1000kg at 2 years of age. T125's dam, R257, is a rising star in our female herd. This is a sure bet bull with a heifer joining option.
