You asked, and we have delivered! The Calls for an excellent-footed bull with added frame and additional capacity have been deafening.

GLACTIC delivers all this and more, upon a recent trip to the USA we couldn’t go past him for not only the reasons above, but his calm nature and slick skin just added to his market appeal for Australia.

GALACTIC is no fly-by-night new kid on the block with over 200 registered progeny on the ground in the USA parking him firmly in the top 20% for birth weight and 200Day weight; a feat only 20 other sires can match with the same accuracy or better.

Troy Vollmer (current owner) had the following to say about Galactic and his progeny: “Galactic’s progeny are long, deep, thick and have outstanding feet. They also have excellent disposition with structural soundness. His quality, phenotype, genotype and performance put him on an out-of-this-world trajectory!”

MOHNEN HOLLYWOOD

Hollywood by name - Hollywood by nature. This bull has a real wow factor about him, powerfully built, square hipped and clean fronted, he combines power and performance with correct structure on a great set of feet & legs.

Hollywood was the featured Lot 1 $125,000 highselling bull from Mohnen Bull Sale where he was a phenotypic standout. Backed by the Emblynette cow family his dam is one of the young standouts in the Mohnen herd, she has 2 other flush sisters whose Bandolier sons sold as Lots 1,2 & 3 in the 2023 sale, demonstrating the strength and consistency from this breeding.

Sitz Galactic 723G son

REEBOK would be the stoutest bull we have had in the Agri-Gene bull team in a long time and not just Angus; his sheer muscle compares more to a European phenotype.

Sound to the ground REEBOK has no peers when it comes to foot and skeletal structure with meat hanging off him everywhere. Recent inspections have resulted in seed stock producers placing orders; with his progeny also starting to impress as we continue to get phone calls from happy customers with thick sappy calves.

Fresh from dominating not only last year’s Edge Team but also outperforming some stalwarts of the Angus AI industry, selling over 5000 units last year all while covering cows on both sides of the Bass Straight.

PARINGA STATESMAN is built long and thick in a moderate package, for those looking to moderate mature cow weight and maintain the traditional Angus look, here’s your bull. Recent reports on semen fertility showed him consistently performing at the top of numerous programmes of any number from 10 heifers to 700 making STATESMAN an absolute NO BRAINER for all modern heifer projects.

If you haven’t used PACIFIC yet don’t rest on your laurels too long as your fellow Angus breeders have son’s topping sales. This is a once-in-a-generation bull, progeny are consistently deep and heavy with sound feet and immaculate disposition.

PACIFIC has sold a huge number of units at Agri-Gene, and it is easy to see why when you consider the phenotype he brings while he sits in the top 2% on all growth traits, top 25% or better for IMF and foot scores while being the 4th highest AI sire for docility.

RECHARGE was the topped-priced bull for the 2022 Dunoon Bull Sale who has now proven himself as a genuine calving ease sire with elite growth and carcass traits.

He has grown into an impressive individual who will add frame, volume, and muscling and moves well on a great set of feet & legs.

QUINELLA is stamping his progeny by consistently breeding great muscling and butt shape with added capacity, they are the kind that are getting selected in the paddock for phenotype and on paper for numbers. Excellent blend of EBVs with moderate birth and top 10% or better for growth, milk, docility, carcass weight, EMA, IMF, and all $Indexes.

Now with other 3400 registered progeny in Australia, Quarterback has been one of the breed’s most used sires over the past 3 years and is simply one of the breed’s best all-rounders.

His sons have topped sales across the county and breeders are now benefiting from the outstanding maternal qualities being shown in his daughters from his elite cow family.

SPECTACULAR is the epitome of performance and type. He will have very few rivals when it comes to performance, no AI sire can match him for moderate birth, top 5% growth top 15% docility and IMF, neutral fats with an average or better EMA and scrotal, sounds easy to match but just search it, if you find one that can match him and looks as good as SPECTULAR call us ASAP.

The first SPECTUILAR calves are about to

EYES ON YOU has started to create waves in the industry as his first progeny become 2-year-olds, super deep, heavy fleshing, in a middle-of-the-road frame. He’s a rare breeding that offers unmatched mass, weight and softness.

EYES ON YOU is the highest AI sire for 600Day weight and also brings +51 for docility to the table. If fashionable EBV’s are your thing step aside and let the real cattlemen/women have the advantage.

This is the KIWI sire we have been looking for and he certainly made a splash last Spring when he hit the open market, selling to all corners of Australia he also saw heavy use in his homeland.

With low calving ease, solid growth, and still look like a meat machine it’s easy to see why he has gathered such popularity. SOLUTION still carries the typical New Zealand traits their cow herds are known for, sound moderate thick maternal cattle with low mature weight.

We see SOULTION as the best Resilient son available from all angles, and to add to this his TOP 1% for AB Index; he’s a young sire set to make a mark on the industry.

This Kingdom bull is a legit TANK, viewed presale last year we were keen to follow the progress of this young stand out sire.

He was the top selling bull in this years Montana Ranch Bred for Balance Bull sale, selling ½ interest to Mohnen Angus and Maple Lane Farm

Kingdom was the #1 ADG bull of his crop with ratios of WW 103; YW 110; YW 110; ADG 122; IMF 139 and RE 106 and was one of the heaviest used sires in the Montana Ranch program in 2023,

His dam, an ideal Angus cow, records a progeny record of WW 2-107; YW 2-108; IMF 2-155 and RE 2-103.

This elite sire packs in high growth into a neat type package with no fertility sacrifice (heifer pregnancy in the top 20% in the USA).

As the progeny amass across the globe there is no shortage of pictures to choose from for this catalogue, the calves all exhibit the aforementioned growth and added thickness with slick soft coats.

Fresh from the 2023 Edge team DOMAIN is setting a new standard for outcross Angus sires that have all the phenotype and performance every discerning producer is chasing. He will add mass and dimension while keeping clean fronts and big nuts.

On our recent tour of the USA, we had the opportunity to dig through DOMAIN’s pedigree and see his sire 8148 along with his daughters in milk, and these were impressive deep productive females with excellent udders. We were able to see a multitude of brothers to Domain who all carried medium frames and thickness with solid feet and good attitudes.

Virtue 557 is a powerful donor at 12 years of age, she has stood the test of time with unmatched docility, structure and udder quality. His first calves will sell this year and they are already beginning to cause a stir in the industry.

Thick and well-made, SUNSTRUCK walks on a flawless set of feet & legs that we can expect from a pedigree littered with legendary cow makers like Hector, Klooney, Theo, Reality, and Hingaia 469.

A complete outcross to USA genetics he combines the cream of Australian and New Zealand genetics from the very best maternal lines at Millah Murrah. On the maternal side is Flower N30 who is the highest valued female in Australian Angus history and acknowledged by Ross Thompson as one of the best cows to come out of Millah Murrah in 50 years. On the paternal side is Nectar’s dam Prue H113 who was the first Australian Angus cow to produce 3 sons at $40,000 or better. Nectar himself has gone on to achieve many sale highlights including sons selling to $160,000 at Millah Murrah.

We were excited to have the opportunity to add this sire to the team in 2023 and now after seeing multiple 2-year-old sons at SITZ ‘s, we are over the moon to have him.

These SPECTERUM sons were consistent in their design being well muscled and long-sided easy, disposition with sound feet and added flank.

As ICONIC becomes a household name in the USA; here his appeal is yet to be realised. We rarely see a bull like this come along that has eye appeal with the data set to match.

The ICONIC progeny are topping sales all across North America. Noted for their thickness and style and explosive performance. Protect on claw and the rest is set in stone these calves have it all.

HOFFMAN BAR NONE

We inspected BAR NONE late last year fresh from working cows at Hoffman’s. As a young bull with a lot of work under his belt from a young age he still expressed that slick skin you see in the picture as well as a solid muzzle. His temperament was exceptional, and he looked to have plenty of heal depth and a 6-on-foot claw.

Growth Fund sons have been few and far between in Australia and to have the option on one that is from one of the most prolific producers HA RITO LADY 3839 of AI sires in the breed is exciting.

While other Niagara sons are just gaining popularity in Australia BRICKYARD has been a stalwart of the Agri-Gene lineup for over 5 years, for good reason as he creates a reputable product for bull producers.

The Brickyard progeny are calving ease bricks that have excellent balanced performance, there is minimal fall out when it gets to bull sale selection and they fill the sale with the commercial man’s kind.

A no brainer on any heifer project with excellent calving ease and high semen fertility.

If you like a bit of added frame but still want that doability PROSPECT is your man. With extremely high positive fat and some of the best feet in the breed, Producers are turning to him as their Mr. Fix it.

Not much more can be said about our guy MOE. With over 50,000 units sold in his lifetime, you won’t have to go far to find to see for yourself why MOE has dominated in previous years.

The $110,000 sale topper from the 2022 Waitara sale where he sold as just a yearling, admired by some of the most astute cattle people in the industry he now calls Crawford, Little Meadows, Merridale & Cascade Angus home. When you first set eyes on SAFEKEEPING it’s his style and balance that gets your attention; as you move around him you must admire how thick he is from behind, but the real treat is when you see this bull at ground level his feet are very near ideal.

From a pedigree standpoint SAFEKEEPING is stacked with maternal royalty adding the DREAM’s from Australia and ISABEL’s from the USA, on top of that is also some influence from NZ. SAFEKEEPING brings high octane growth, top end balanced carcass performance in a sound as a bell package.

Meadows in WA. He has matured into an impressive individual expressing stud sire presence and EBV’s ahead of his sire for calving ease, scrotal and fat cover.

BRIGADE is part of the curve-bending elite. You will also see Brigade in your sort lists on AA; he is elite in multiple traits. Now let’s study his exceptional type, he runs thick from his nose to his rear. A hard sire to pass up the opportunity on in 2024.

ALBERT has been used to sure up feet for breeders, but he’s now slouch on caucus merit either. His biggest strength has been how we now see his daughters’ making weaners at the top end of their contemporaries.

STELLAR S346 has impeccable disposition and very good structure, an excellent heifer option who will improve fat cover, marbling and $indexes.

Top 5% mature body condition, top 10% MSA marbling.

Stokman Stellar was one of the two bulls retained by Stokman Angus in NZ last year, the other Stokman Solution who is also in the Agri-Gene team has proven very popular in Australia.

A keeper from the MANDAYEN stable in South Australia. T221 is son of the now deceased Landfall Mainland who quickly caught breeders attention this Autumn as the sons popped up at the top end of the Weeran, Mandayen and Bull Oak Well bull sales. We admire this bull for his power and correctness, pictured above 2 months post joining heifers.

The best part about T221 he looks how is data reads moderate, thick clean fronted, calving ease, good feet, & puppy dog quiet. Add to this he was in the top bulls at scanning amongst all T bulls at Mandayen Angus.

T221 epitomises our EDGE program in breeders putting up bulls they back; just as we do to compete in the open market and in any herd at a moderate price with no protection of exclusivity.

It’s a rare find when you come across a bull like THEODORE. A standout individual at weaning who went on to service duties in herd at BOOROOMOOKA Angus this spring, looking at the production from his maternal side, his Dam M566 is an outstanding producing cow, rising 8 years still in herd, has had 6 calves and pregnant to calve again. She had her first calf at 668 days and a calving interval of 372 days. Progeny include Booroomooka Paragon P96 (leading sire), R148 sold for $24,000 and S315 sold as top priced bull in 2023 at $52,000.

His Grand Dam was a top A241 daughter who had 5 calves with calving interval of 358 days and Great Grand Dam D442 a Net Worth daughter had 9 calves with Calving interval 368 days.

Now you can study his performance and have confidence in a bull coming from a large contemporary group, THEORDORE is a truly unique breeding piece.
