FOREWORD
Welcome to the Autumn 2020 ABS Australia Beef Sire Update.
Please use this update in conjunction with the ABS Australia 2019-20 Sire Directory.
This Autumn Update introduces new sires to the ABS lineup. In Angus there are 2 new sires,
the $160,000 Australian record price Angus bull 29AN2123 Millah Murrah PARATROOPER
P15 and the top selling bull at the Coonamble Sale, 29AN2161 Coonamble INVESTMENT
P20. There are three new Wagyu Japanese full blood sires. One of these is 29KB0009
Arubial BOND Q007, perhaps the best young carcass sire the breed has yet seen!
This Update includes a review of the Hereford True Genetics Super Sire Program feature sire,
Wirruna Matty M288. Also, this Update introduces graduates of the highly acclaimed ABS
HCR program. This program has identified sires that have consistently rated 8 to 15% higher
conception rates in FTAI. Think of the decreased cost of pregnancies; and the bonus of more
Bill Cornell earlier calving cows and increased production in your operation.
Beef Product Manager
ABS’ sexed semen product Sexcel® is further explained and we introduce new sires available.
Consider the advantages to increase the number of heifer calves in your next calf crop and
the ability to increase female numbers into the herd as Australia rebuilds the national herd.
The new price list has some changes and some pleasant surprises. ABS Australia has a diverse range of sorted
male and female semen and ABS Sexcel female semen available. It is best to call the beef team for updates on
pricing, new inclusions and availability.
The recently announced results of the NHIA annual survey again provided much pride with the ABS Australia Beef
team retaining the number one ranked position. ABS also holds positions 1, 3 and 4 for the Angus sires with the
most progeny registered in the previous two years. In fact, ABS holds 6 of the top 10 positions!
During the COVID-19 pandemic ABS Australia is an essential business, so domestic semen sales and dispatches
continue, as do international imports and exports. Unfortunately, the pandemic has meant a postponement of our
biannual Beef Conference and Client Days which were scheduled for this winter in Northern NSW and Southern
Queensland with guest speaker Matthew Cleveland, ABS Global Beef Team Manager. Also, ABS Australia staff have
been directed to work from home and curtail farm visits so please contact us via phone, email, social media or
Skype. We hope to hold our Spring Open Day to visit the bulls at TLG in October.
Despite the current pandemic and many economic concerns, agriculture and the beef industry have a tremendous
opportunity and upside. At ABS Australia, such is our belief in the industry, we have great pleasure in appointing
Annie Pumpa to the ABS Australia team. I am sure many of you will enjoy a chat with Annie as she starts on May 1
and initially contact will be by phone and email.
The ABS Australia team is available and ready to assist cattle breeders, so please feel free to contact us.
ANNIE PUMPA joins the ABS AUSTRALIA Team
Annie grew up in the Riverina on a family farm outside Culcairn NSW. Her family
ran a mixed enterprise, breeding commercial Angus X Simmental along with an
intensive feeding program and broad acre cropping. She has a vast range of
knowledge on both a commercial and seedstock level, dealing with multiple breeds
through her background. She has experience in various carcass competitions,
youth programs and networking throughout the industry. Through Annie’s previous
role at Landmark she has a wide knowledge of animal health in many industries
including beef, dairy, pig and sheep.
Annie has judged at many country shows throughout Victoria and South Australia,
including Yea, Penola and Geelong Royal. She has a significant involvement and a
strong interest in the showing side of the beef industry attending multiple Royal
Shows throughout Australia during the year. Annie has led many Grand Champion,
Supreme Champion and Interbreed Champion animals. Her most humbling
achievement is leading KO Dream Q1, the calf on KO Dream N43 for the 2019
Supreme Interbreed Beef Exhibit at the Royal Melbourne Show.
Annie is a huge advocate for youth in agriculture and is currently President of the National Hereford Youth Board. In
March this year, Annie represented Australia at the World Hereford Young Breeders competition which was held in
conjunction with the World Conference in New Zealand. Here her team was placed as the Reserve Champion Young

Annie joins the ABS team on 1st May and we welcome her to the team. She wishes to progressively create and
nurture relationships far into the future. Annie will provide support to the Beef Team initially but will be involved in all
aspects of beef, dairy and Beef InFocus™ as well as all the proprietary products that ABS has on offer.

WAGYU
UNITED 29KB0008 Combination Deluxe
United is perhaps the best combination bull in the Wagyu breed
today
Running a simple search for a bull in top 5% for all growth and
carcass weight traits and top 5% marbling seems simple BUT
United is the ONLY bull that makes the list!
United does it easily with marbling in top 2%, carcass weight top
1%!
United is also top 1% in Marbling Fineness and all $ Indexes
United ranks in top 15 bulls for the Self Replacing Index and top 8
bulls for Full Blood Terminal Index
If you are breeding Wagyus and wish to accelerate your herd
UNITED is the first choice sire!
