Eyes 100/100 Marc Greening’s sale book comments summarize the bull: Poll Homo. Polled Many are expecting me to say Redford Q287 is the greatest sire ever produced at Injemira but I will leave that up to you to decide! What I can say is that he is absolutely faultless in terms of structure and overall sire appeal. Back in October 2020 he scanned the biggest raw EMA ever for a ‘Spring’ drop bull and being a 2 y/o heifer’s first calf this is an achievement and demonstrates his quality and performance. It is so pleasing to see a bull that when you go into the paddock he is the first you notice then you look at his performance data and this backs it up. The performance data like the bull himself is faultless right throughout. Calving ease, low birth, high growth, huge EMA, positive fats and big marbling. It’s just unmatched for a bull with this quality phenotype and is recognised with all his $index values being in the top 1% of the breed.

AUSTRALIAN ANGUS 29AN2116 The ABS Australia beef team is often asked, which bulls to use? which bulls are ‘hot’?, what is new? In pages 7 and 8 we highlight and update some sires that are sure to interest many breeders. New Ground, the $75,000 record price Tasmanian bull as the photo suggests has developed into an outstanding Angus bull. Calving reports from the field show New Ground progeny have calved unassisted from Angus seedstock and commercial heifers. Many breeders will repeat mating to heifers this season. The first 41 sons sold at the Landfall 2021 sale to a top of $36,000 and a fabulous average of $16,000. (The sale averaged $11,583). New Ground is now a proven bull, with near perfect EBVs and phenotype to boot! Paratrooper, the current record price Angus bull at $160,000 has performed simply beyond all expectations. Paratrooper has been used far and wide, progeny are born unassisted from LANDFALL NEW GROUND N90 heifers. The dimension, volume, mass and docility of the progeny Owned by Absolute Angus and ABS Australia. as weaners and yearlings is unsurpassed. 29AN2123 Paratrooper has eclipsed all semen sales records for a beef bull of his age. The numerous calls and accolades for Paratrooper progeny are suggesting he is a must use bull for many seasons to come. Semen supply is very limited just now, but Paratrooper is heading to the semen collection centre. Keystone continues to make a large impression on the Angus landscape. Few bulls can offer the calving ease and curve bending growth. Keystone will add frame and length. Commercial acceptance continues. At the 2021 Landfall Sale 23 Keystone sons averaged $12,913 to be the second highest progeny group. Kicking remains in the top few semen selling sires. Commercial breeders love his platinum HCR performance, so many reports on one FTAI round 65% to 75%. The calves are born easily from heifers, then grow strongly to 400 and 600 days. Progeny look brilliant and are super docile. Quality Time and Queenslander are two new unproven bulls to the ABS team. Both bulls have been highly admired, their dams are superb. Their sire lines offer an outcross for ABS sire lines. MILLAH MURRAH PARATROOPER P15PV Owned by Arkle Angus, WA and Millah Murrah Angus NSW.
