Welcome to Langi Kal Kal Angus 2025 Bull Sale
Breeding Angus Cattle with Consistency and Quality for over 40 Years
As breeders with over 40 years of experience, we take immense pride in the legacy of Langi Kal Kal Angus, specialising in cattle with exceptional qualities. We focus on breeding for superior fertility, docile temperament, excellent structural conformation, easy calving, and shorter gestation periods.
Our cattle have moderate frames, good performance, and consistently produce high-quality calves. The success of Langi Kal Kal Angus is rooted in our careful selection of cows and heifers with optimal structural form and pelvic capacity, which contribute to easier calving and better overall herd health. This ensures that both bulls and cows exhibit consistency, balance, and longevity.
Additionally, Langi Kal Kal Angus invests in toptier AI sires, incorporating proven, high-quality genetics into our breeding program for ongoing improvements in herd quality and performance.

Understanding the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE)
What is the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation?
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations.
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).
What is an EBV?
An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).
EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.
Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals
TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).
For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20 kg
difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal’s Genetics with the Breed
EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals recorded with Angus Australia.
To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:
• the breed average EBV
• the percentile bands table
The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes.
For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.
Considering Accuracy
An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.
The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.
EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy
Description of TACE EBVs
EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall net profitability in the majority of commercial, self replacing, grass and grain finishing beef production systems.
The $A-L index is similar to the $A index but is modelled on a production system where feed is surplus to requirements for the majority of the year, or the cost of supplying additional feed when animal feed requirements increase is low.
While the $A aims to maintain mature cow weight, the $A-L does not aim to limit the increase in mature cow weight as there is minimal cost incurred if the feed maintenance requirements of the female breeding herd increase as a result of selection decisions.

Meet the Langi Kal Kal Angus Team
Kahn Jantzen
Kahn has grown up in a farming family with both cattle and sheep operations, and it’s no secret that cattle are his passion. Kahn completed his apprenticeship in butchering over 30 years ago, where he went on to manage and own Butcher shops and Wholesale Businesses. Following his career in the meat industry he was employed by a local Agriculture business which specialised in fine wool fat lamb operation on over 10,000 acres. For almost 10 years Kahn has been employed by the Department of Justice and Community Safety at H.M Prison Langi Kal Kal, and for the past seven years as the Farm Manager.
Kylie Pervan
Kylie grew up in Far North Queensland on Brahman Country. Her family had a fattening paddock on the coast for the live export market as well as our own consumption. Kylie moved to Victoria and commenced working for Corrections in 2016 and has been a part of the farm team since 2021. Although being relatively new to the agricultural field, Kylie’s enthusiasm to learn and natural abilities have been a welcome addition within Langi Kal Kal Stud.
Adam Smith
When Adam joined the Ag Team over 5 years ago, he brought with him over 25 years of lived farming experience and qualifications. Adam grew up locally within the Central Highlands district before going into partnership on the family stud dairy farm in Northern Victoria. Showing cattle, pasture management, hay contracting and stock cartage is also on Adam’s list of agribusiness qualifications and expertise. Adam’s proficiency in being able to collaborate and relate to stakeholders while putting into practice his extensive knowledge and understanding of stud cattle and farm management is an essential skill within Langi Kal Kal Stud. His background in all aspects of stock husbandry, stud showmanship and passion for agriculture is a clear strength demonstrated within the Langi Kal Kal Farm team.
Langi Kal Kal Angus Workers
We have an ever changing group of Farm Hands that work hard in both the sheep and cattle management at Langi Kal Kal Farm. These Farm Hands are learning vocational skills required for employment upon release in line with industry standards. They are also trained in many different sectors of farm management including: animal husbandry, fencing, chainsaw, tractor use, chemical handling, crutching and shearing. This training is completed by a nationally accredited training agency.
