We are on a tight allocation for supply on Ashland so order early to avoid missing out for Spring Programs. BALDRIDGE BEAST MODE was another stand out from the USA tour and his first Australian sons are starting to top the sales in Australia with him topping the recent KO and Ben Nevis bull sales. MUSGRAVE 316 STUNNER’s early Australian progeny are also starting to impress. He is producing calves with muscle shape, depth of body and excellent foot quality. In the USA he is going from strength to strength and at Musgrave’s 2019 Bull Sale Stunner’s sons topped at $81,000 and averaged $13,380. GAR Ashland
One of the most impressive bulls to emerge from AgriGene’s recent USA tour has been GAR ASHLAND. He has been one of the best phenotype bulls to come out of the GAR program and also has the numbers to back him up - Top 1% of the breed for all $indexes and growth with breed leading carcase data. Ashland offers an outcross alternative to some of Australia’s high indexing pedigrees such as Regent, E7 and Berkley and is an excellent heifer option with a unique combination of Calving Ease, Growth, Marbling and Muscle. Musgrave 316 Stunner
Other bulls to impress from the USA were BRUIN TORQUE 5261 and SAV ABUNDANCE 6117 who are both elite phenotype bulls that will put some shape back into our herds - both bulls have potential to become elite maternal sires. EF COMMANDO 1366 recently sired the Australian record selling $160K son at Millah Murrah Angus, he has sons at every major AI stud and is an excellent heifer option for spring. He offers short gestation and outstanding Calving Ease, has excellent foot quality and is one of our best for semen fertility and conception rates. Bruin Torque 5261
