Triple B to offer four of their best heifers

AN ONGOING goal of producing phenotypically attractive cattle that carry a balance of performance data for fertility, growth and carcase is clearly evident in the four heifers that Lindsay and Fiona Barlow, Triple B Stud, will offer at the BLING Sale of the horses already announced for the Archer and the quality of the heifers involved in the sale comes down to one word Class "

Mr Reid said this is the second year the race will be run with the concept having been put on the table at a committee meeting in 2019 regarding the Rocky Amateurs future sustainability

"When we ran last year we were the only slot race apart from the Everest in Sydney in Australia It resulted in bringing horses and racing personalities to Rockhampton we could only dream of getting here before "

The Triple B stud was originally founded at Emu Park 33 years ago, and is now run across three properties in the Dingo district: Araluen, Glendarra and Namoi

Mr Barlow said one of their best S drop heifers, and one of the best they've released yet, Triple B Nerida S233 will be the first heifer to enter the ring on sale day

"She's the first daughter by Suhn's Business Line 30D26 to be auctioned in Australia and the first calf heifer by our homebred, Triple B Nerida P547 She's long, strong, deep and level with a clean underline She's a real donor prospect," he said

She'll be followed by Triple B Renee S173, another Business Line daughter out of the first calving Triple B Renee P569, who delivered a bull calf in 2022

"Cosmetically blessed she's a granddaughter of the colonial, Thirsty Creek 812 Her granddam entered the donor program as a first calving heifer, producing 20 recorded calves "

The only Triple B Networth N284 daughter to be released, Triple B Omina S225, will be offered lot 17

"Networth is our leading resident and sired the top seller in our 2022 sale His daughter is beautifully put together and clean throughout, providing a clear indication of what her sire brings to the equation Omina S225 possesses length, bone, bal- ance and depth all wrapped in a feminine package "

The Barlows Lot 18 heifer, Triple B Maddison S258, is the first genetic release of their retained, homebred, ET product, Powerhouse P544

"Maddison S258 is in the same mould as all the Powerhouse daughters: long, strong, filled with bone, balance, depth and femininity "

Mrs Barlow said they were excited to support GDL and the ABCA with the BLING Sale

"We feel honoured to have been asked to help establish an elite female sale for our breed " –
