Normandy is also a polled son of King from a female that raised 7 calves. He is more of an efficient type in frame but maintains thickness and muscle with an excellent sheath, large stones and quiet temperament.
He is a trait leader for Scrotal size and offers potential for dynamic change in female fertility, without compromising growth and carcass.
The gentle giant Nemesis is another polled son of King and this time from a Ferrero cow. As you would expect from combining 2 of the breeds leading performance sires his predictions are powerful. A trait leader for 200, and 600-Day Growth, Scrotal Size, and Retail Beef Yield.
Again, a sire capable of pushing Growth and Fertility simultaneously. Temperament is also a feature of Nemesis’ progeny.
Northerly is a polled son of King out of an aged cow that had 9 calves. Selected primarily for his outstanding
phenotype and temperament, he established himself as a prominent sire with his first drop of calves.
He is a long bodied, deep, and heavy bull that weighed in at 1200kg before joining last year. With an ideal sheath, large testicles, and breed leading growth and carcass data he is a highly regarded sire in our herd. He is a trait leader for 200,400 and 600 Day-Growth, Scrotal Size, and Carcase Weight.
Ponga is an A.I product by Cree Leroy L192(P). We retained semen in Leroy when he sold to the
Dillon Family, Surbiton Station, Alpha for $40,000 at the 2016 sale.
Short gestation, low Birth Weight, Growth, early Puberty, high DTC and quiet, all in the 1 package.
He is also a trait leader for Scrotal size.
Because of his gestation and birth attributes Ponga has been used exclusively over yearlings up until last season. As he has matured into a 1160 kg bull, he has had to be joined to older females these past 2 years.
Papalii is a product of one of our IVF programs by Warenda D696 (P), once again from a Ferrero cow.
He is moderate framed with length and thickness, a dark coated poll bull with a ton of breed character.
He has desirable Growth predictions with small calves, then attaining high Growth through 600-Day and Mature Cow, with early Puberty, high Carcase Weight and RBY.
While his performance is not as consistent across the traits as some of our other sires, he brings an outside sire line, structural soundness, and faultless temperament, so used in the right circumstance we feel he has plenty to offer.
Nacho is a more efficient style of bull from a fertile Rosevale line, in that both Grand Dams have had 10 or more calves. He has interesting performance data in that even with average Growth, he attains some of our highest $Indexes on the new scale due to high female Fertility traits. He is also a trait leader for EMA and Puberty.
He has bred a consistent line of cattle and appears a very useful addition to our sire battery.
Jackaroo was purchased at the 2018 Rosevale sale for use as a yearling heifer bull and has been used exclusively for that up until last season, as maturity and good seasons have seen him become too heavy for the role. As more data was collected his performance has evolved to see him mature into a very useful package. He is currently a trait leader for 200 and 400-day Growth, Scrotal size and Carcass Weight.
He is a very eye appealing bull as most Jackaroo’s are and displays some contrary traits in high growth with Jackaroo’s trademark high fats. Early Puberty is also a feature.
Quicksilver was purchased at the 2020 Rosevale sale for the top price of $50,000. He has a ton of
sire appeal and performance that is hard to fault. A trait leader for 200-400 and 600-Day Growth,
Carcase Weight, and EMA. Added to this is early Puberty and high fats providing a bull capable of
making rapid genetic change in Growth and Carcase without compromising Fertility.
He has established himself as a prominent sire of the future with his first 2 drops of calves and has
another stellar offering this year.
Quickdraw was purchased at the 2020 Gyranda sale. He offers high Growth, high Fertility, high Fats, particularly IMF, and is a trait leader for Scrotal size and 400-day Weight. All this in a dark coated homozygous package that also offers outcross genetics.
Although not as balanced as some of our other sires he has performance where it counts as shown by the $Indexes. Again, a bull capable of making genetic advances across multiple traits
simultaneously.
Revelation was purchased at the 2021 Rosevale sale.
While he doesn’t deliver the same Growth as some of the other sires, he makes up for it with Fertility and Carcase attributes and being a trait leader for DTC is responsible for his high $Indexes.
Squire was purchased for the top price of $60,000 at the 2022 Strathmore Sale. He offers outcross genetics in a polled, quiet, phenotypic, structurally sound package.
He performed well in his first season attaining a high pregnancy rate on first calf heifers and was multiply joined this season. His performance graph is from genomics only and will change as more data comes to hand.
Scoobie Doo has a traditional set of performance predictions with low Birth, and low Growth which probably accounts for his exceptional Fertility. The high fats are also an aid to high fertility.
He demonstrates an easy doing constitution and is always in good condition.
Yarrawonga Sam S906(P) was purchased at the 2022 Yarrawonga Sale. He boasted even fats of 12mm and 12 mm 140 sq cm EMA, 5.1 IMF and 83% morphology. He offers outcross genetics and is an eye appealing, tropical coated sire with sound structure and balance.
Simo S160 (PS) was retained from the 2022 sale bulls as the highest Indexing bull we bred for the year. The King and Ferrero combination of growth while maintaining Fertility is evident once again and provides plenty of options for the use of this bull.
His high IMF is also a feature.
Toby T120 (PP) was selected from his years drop of bulls as we find this balance of high growth and high fertility hard to find in the bull market. Bulls like this can effect simultaneous change without a compromise. Being homozygous polled is also a bonus.
Ultimate U206 (PP) is another homozygous polled bull by Normandy and demonstrates a similar graph to Toby.
High Growth coupled with high fertility, but with the ability to lay down fat. He covers the profit driving traits without a compromise as well.
Rosevale Unico U164(P) was purchased in 2024 for $45,000
Unico shows sire appeal, and has just worked his first season with his first crop of calves due in November. Unico does come from proven performance, Ranking in the top 1-5% for growth and scrotal circumference. Unico ranks in the top 10% for Rib and Rump fat and demonstrated good temperament which has recorded him in the top 15%.
Unico’s dark coat and structural soundness were also factors that attracted us to purchase him.
Squire was purchased for the top price of $60,000 at the 2022 Strathmore Sale. He
offers outcross genetics in a polled, quiet, phenotypic, structurally sound package.
He has performed well in his first season attaining a high pregnancy rate on first calf
heifers and was multiply joined last season. His performance graph is from genomics only and will also change as more data comes to hand.
