Welcome to our first annual production sale.

Megan and I are proud and excited to bring you our first line up of sale cattle. It has been 10 years since our journey began with the purchase of Black Simmental and Sim Angus cows from Wendouree Simmentals in 2013. Since then, we strengthened our genetic pool with purchases from the Buckingham herd and the Morganvale Simmentals herd in South Australia.

Our herd has grown to 130 Black Simmental and Sim Angus cows which gives us flexibility to breed bulls to suit all markets. We have developed a strong commercial following in the Southern Tablelands and we look to strengthen this with a strong line up of commercially relevant bulls and heifers. With a focus on structure, fertility and muscling, we are proud to offer these yearling cattle in our first sale.

Southern Blacks Simmentals has been active improving our genetics in the past few years, purchasing Black Simmental sires such as Valley Creek North, Wormbete Quantum Leap, Bandeeka Blacks Nilo and Valley Creek Sylvester. We are also developing our Sim Angus program purchasing the Millamurra Quixote Son, Valley Creek Taylor Made and Wormbete Stockholm. We believe the Sim Angus gives breeders more flexibility in their respective programs.

All sale animals have been vet checked, 7 in 1 vaccinated and GGP100-tested for parent identification, colour and poll status. All bulls have been semen tested, vaccinated for pestivirus, tick fever and vibrio, so you can buy with confidence.

We are pleased to offer the opportunity to both new and existing clients to invest in our Black Simmental program and look forward to building our relationships further.

With the introduction of the IGS performance recording system for Simmental cattle, IGS is the world’s largest animal performance recording system.

One of the major changes is the breeding figures being reported as Estimate Progeny Differences (EPDs), rather than Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs). The difference between the two is simple.

Effectively, an EBV is an animal’s own genetic value for a particular trait. However, the animal can only pass half of this onto their progeny. EPDs have the “half” already accounted for. That is, an EPD is the genetic merit of an animal’s progeny – what they will pass onto their progeny.

IGS can incorporate an animal’s genomics into its performance data. All animals in the Simmental Opportunity sale have been 100K GGP-LD DNA profiled.

Notes:

Lot One

SBS TITAN T54 (P)

Homo Black, Homo Poll.

First of the Quantum sons on offer and a typical example, structurally correct carrying plenty of rear end and topline always been a standout calf. Going back to GW Mick on the dam side a lot to like about this boy.

Lot Two

SBS TAYLOR T64 (P)

Homo Black, Homo Poll.

At the risk of repeating myself another typical Quantum son here. Again great depth, thickness and topline, great mover. Out of a handy Morganvale cow.
