WELCOME TO MOSQUITO CREEK ANGUS
Welcome to Mosquito Creek Angus
Welcome to our 4th on Property Bull Sale. This year we will be selling our bulls by Auction and interfaced through AuctionsPlus. I would like to welcome Beau, Philip, Scott and Catelyn from Frame Rural Agencies to our team.
To date the 2024 season has been very good for us. Timely rain in Autumn and good follow up rain has allowed us to get winter forage crops in and away. Large areas of Northern and Eastern Australia are also experiencing better than average seasons. Processors and feedlots have been slow to increase their prices but at the time of writing we are seeing a lift across all classes of beef and I believe that if the season continues, we will have excellent selling opportunities come the spring. Our core breeding objectives remain the same in any season. We continually strive to select animals that are fertile, easy doing and good to handle. Our stud females are run under complete commercial conditions. They are expected to breed and rear calves each year on unfertilised native grasses. Our emphasis has always been on the breeding and not the feeding. The bulls are genuinely thick with plenty of muscle shape. We don’t chase massive framed cattle as we have found that in our environment they just don’t survive.
This year’s draft of 61 bulls, range in age from 19- 25 months. They are a genuine product of continual selection of genetics that perform under duress. They will be presented in healthy forward condition. Ready for work but not overdone. We are continually getting positive feedback on the way our bulls hold their condition, continue to grow and outlast the overfed bulls that breeders have bought in the past. This is our point of difference. It has taken time but we now have a following of commercially focused breeders who understand the added value of our well- bred, but not so well fed bulls.
This year’s sale draft boasts almost 60% of bulls that are suitable for heifer joining. Reference sires include Mosquito Creek Maximus M39, Mosquito Creek Perfection P22, Mosquito Creek Quality Q53 and AI sires Texas Iceman, KCF Bennet Exponential, Mogck Entice, RR Endeavor, Sterling Pacific, Sitz Tailor Made, Myers Fair and Square, GAR Kansas, Crawford Guarantee, WR Full House, Black Onyx and GB Fireball. Both M39 and Q53 have been used and evaluated through the Angus Sire Benchmarking Program and its co-operator herds to ensure the reliability of our own collected data. This draft of bulls offers some of the newest genetics from North America to Australian commercial beef producers. Buyers looking for high performance bulls to safely use over heifers should pay special attention to the RR Endeavor and Crawford Guarantee Sons.
All bulls have been paddock-reared and run primarily on native unimproved pasture except during weaning and for the past 10 weeks, where they have grazed on oats. All bulls have been double vaccinated with Leptovax and Vibrovax and have returned a negative result for Pestivirus (PI) from a hair sample test. They have been drenched with Ausmectin Pour on and been independently Vet checked by the Inverell Veterinary Clinic They have had both a crush-side semen test and Morphology Semen test conducted in the past 2 months. Vet Certificates are available for individual bulls upon request.
This year Mosquito Creek Angus will hold its first Open Day. This will give breeders an opportunity to inspect the stock pre-sale and discuss their breeding requirements and ask any questions they may have about the bulls on offer. The Open Day will be Wednesday 17th July between 10:00am and 3:00pm.
Thank you for taking the time to attend our sale and I look forward to working with you to enhance your breeding program now and in the future.
Sam Barwick Principal Mosquito Creek Angus

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.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.
$A-L $
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.
Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.

This is information for bull buyers about the recessive genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Hydrocephalus (NH), Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplications (DD).
Putting undesirable Genetic Recessive Conditions in perspective
All animals, including humans, carry single copies (alleles) of undesirable or “broken” genes. In single copy form, these undesirable alleles usually cause no harm to the individual.
But when animals carry 2 copies of certain undesirable or “broken” alleles it often results in bad consequences. Advances in genomics have facilitated the development of accurate diagnostic tests to enable the identification and management of numerous undesirable or “broken” genes.
Angus Australia is proactive in providing its members and their clients with relevant tools and information to assist them in the management of known undesirable genes and our members are leading the industry in their use of this technology.
What are AM, NH, CA and DD?
AM, NH, CA and DD are all recessive conditions caused by “broken” alleles within the DNA of individual animals. When a calf inherits 2 copies of the AM or NH alleles their development is so adversely affected that they will be stillborn.
In other cases, such as CA and DD, calves carrying 2 copies of the broken allele may reach full-term. In such cases the animal may either appear relatively normal, or show physical symptoms that affect their health and/or performance.
What happens when carriers are mated to other animals?
Carriers, will on average, pass the undesirable allele to a random half (50 %) of their progeny.
When a carrier bull and carrier cow is mated, there is a 25% chance that the resultant calf will inherit two normal alleles, a 50% chance that the mating will result in a carrier (i.e. with just 1 copy of the undesirable allele, and a 25% chance that the calf will inherit two copies of the undesirable gene.
If animals tested free of the undesirable gene are mated to carrier animals the condition will not be expressed at all. All calves will appear normal, but approximately half (50%) could be expected to be carriers.
How is the genetic status of animals reported?
DNA-based diagnostic tests have been developed which
can be used to determine whether an individual animal is either a carrier or free of the alleles resulting in AM, NH, CA or DD.
Angus Australia uses advanced software to calculate the probability of (untested) animals to being carriers of AM, NH, CA or DD. The software uses the test results of any relatives in the calculations and the probabilities may change as new results for additional animals become available.
The genetic status of animals is being reported using five categories:
AMF
AMFU
Tested AM free
Based on Pedigree AM freeAnimal has not been tested
AM_% _% probability the animal is an AM carrier
AMC
AMA
Tested AM-Carrier
AM-Affected
For NH, CA and DD, simply replace AM in the above table with NH, CA or DD.
Registration certificates and the Angus Australia webdatabase display these codes. This information is displayed on the animal details page and can be accessed by conducting an “Database Search” from the Angus Australia website or looking up individual animals listed in a sale catalogue.
Implications for Commercial Producers
Your decision on the importance of the genetic condition status of replacement bulls should depend on the genetics of your cow herd (which bulls you previously used) and whether some female progeny will be retained or sold as breeders.
Most Angus breeders are proactive and transparent in managing known genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from undesirable genetic recessive conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background. The genetic condition testing that Angus Australia seedstock producers are investing in provides buyers of registered Angus bulls with unmatched quality assurance.
