RECENT REFERENCE SIRES
Sire: L T BANDWAGON 3105
Maternal Grandsire: L T 598 BANDO 9074
Driven is a new outcross sire. We have retained quite a few daughters and at this stage 2016 will be the only year to purchase direct Driven sons from us. In fact, there would be no other Angus breeders in northern Australia with bulls for sale by Driven.
Driven progeny are moderate framed, easy doing and very appealing to the eye. At weaning the Driven calves were the most even and eye appealing progeny of all the calves.
Driven is bred by the highly regarded fertile herd Lindskov-Theil Ranch in South Dakota, and is out of an LT Bando 9074 daughter. We have used a fair bit of 9074, and his daughters are some of our most fertile cows, while some of our best bulls go back to him – Hinman H221, Galaxy G55 and Galleon G57.
Sire: TUWHARETOA REGENT D145
Maternal Grandsire: HA PROGRAM 5652
We used Hinman as a yearling, sold him in 2014 to the Campbell Family, Condamine and we collected semen from him to use the last two joining seasons.
Hinman progeny grow quickly – his progeny group in the weaners this year were the heaviest, and he has gone out to the real world and proven himself under commercial conditions.
Hinman is one of the slickest coated Angus bulls we have ever bred and he has passed this trait onto many of his progeny.
Hinman has very good feet and structure, he is quiet, not excessively large framed and is easily the best Regent son we have bred. He passes on more thickness and eye appeal than Regent does.
Hinman’s mother (D80) is one of our best cows (ACI 367 days, 7 calves) as she continues to produce top progeny every year, so check out her Driven son (lot 6) in this year’s sale.
★ ONLY SONS AVAILABLE IN NORTHERN AUSTRALIA ★
Sire: TE MANIA AMBASSADOR A134
Maternal Grandsire: YTHANBRAE HENRY VIII U8
D143 (PCAS) was bought by ourselves, Karoo Angus (NSW) and Cluden Newry Angus (TAS) in 2010, and he is a full brother to Regent D145.
PCAS is breeding more consistent progeny of moderate frame, easy doing and very eye appealing cattle. Some of you may remember sons we sold by D143 in 2013, and the type of progeny he breeds is the reason we feel he is very suited to the PCAS market (hence the name).
They are moderate, easy doing with plenty of eye muscle and marbling to achieve higher MSA indexes. Ours is the only sale in northern Australia where you will find sons of PCAS.
Unfortunately we do not have a mature photo of PCAS and he has since passed away, but with over 100 progeny recorded across three different states he is proving to be one of the better Angus bulls we have used.
Pictured: Lot 19 in the 2016 sale, a D143 son.
Sire: TE MANIA AMBASSADOR A134
Maternal Grandsire: YTHANBRAE HENRY VIII U8
Regent has had over 6500 progeny analysed in Australia and is widely regarded as one of the most influential marbling sires in the Angus breed.
Regent also tends to breed larger framed progeny ideally suited to grain fed beef and for those who like larger framed cattle. We will have less and less Regent sons for sale going forward as we have many daughters coming through, so this will be one of last chances to buy a direct son from us.
Sire: ARDROSSAN EQUATOR A241
Maternal Grandsire: BOOROOMOOKA THEO T030
Harlin is a larger framed bull we sold in 2014 to Bullamon Plains, Thallon.
Through the dry years Harlin learned to eat Mulga around Charleville, and today is still a very sound and functional bull.
Harlin’s mother (A104) is now an 11-year-old with nine natural calves for an average calving interval of 370 days. She is by the legendary Booroomooka Theo, who is out of a Glenoch Megaforce cow.
Harlin has passed a well-balanced spread of EBVs onto his progeny to suit many requirements.
Sire: PAPA EQUATOR 2928
Maternal Grandsire: B/R NEW DIMENSION 7127
A241 is one of the most proven Angus bulls in Australia with over 7000 progeny recorded.
At the very beginning A241 proved himself in a commercial Angus herd at Goondiwindi and was then repurchased by his breeder.
A241 passes on exceptional thickness, soundness, big nuts and moderate to above average frame. Typically his daughters mature into ‘big volume’ type cows.
