MILLAH MURRAH PARATROOPER P15
10 SONS IN 2024 SALE
ID: NMMP15
DOB: 29/01/2018
Sire: EF COMMANDO 1366
MGS: MILLAH MURRAH HIGHLANDER G18
TOP 5%: GL, 200 & 400 DW
TOP 10%: CARCASE WT, $ABI-L
TOP 15%: 600 DW, $ABI
*As at Mid June 2024 TACE
Paratrooper needs little introduction. In 2019 he sold for an Angus record of $160,000 and has over 6000 progeny registered.
He offers calving ease, length and strength of topline, and has crossed very well over K112 daughters. In our herd, we have found his progeny stand out the most as weaners and yearlings, they grow fast and weigh heavy, and he’s boosted by proven calving ease and a balance of traits elsewhere.
There are a number of bulls in the 2024 catalogue by him who we rate as some of our lead bulls.
SUGARLOAF HARVESTOR N174
8 SONS & 1 GRANDSON IN 2024 SALE
ID: DFTN174
DOB: 16/07/2017
Sire: SAV HARVESTOR 0338
MGS: SYDGEN C C & 7
TOP 5%: DTC, RBY, NFI-F
TOP 10%: 200, 400 & 600 DW
TOP 15%: CARCASE WT, LEG ANGLE, $ABI, $ABI-L
*As at Mid June 2024 TACE
Harvestor is an impressive, quality bull with real sire appeal. He ticked many boxes for us when we purchased him in 2019 for $44,000, the 10th highest selling Angus bull in Australia that year.
Harvestor offers plenty of length, and genuine muscle expression. He is exceptionally quiet and sound in his structure, and these traits are clearly evident in his progeny. We’ve never witnessed him with a lazy prepuce, which is a trait that is often overlooked and can contribute to bull breakdown.
Harvestor also offers some outcross genetics for our herd. His sire sold for US$275,000 at the SAV sale.
MOOGENILLA QUINELLA Q33
3 SONS IN 2024 SALE
ID: BWFQ33
DOB: 08/07/2019

MGS: EF COMPLEMENT 8088
TOP 5%: CEM, 400 DW, MILK, CARCASE WT, $ABI
TOP 10%: 600 DW, IMF, $ABI-L
TOP 15%: EMA, LEG ANGLE
*As at Mid June 2024 TACE
Calving ease, fast growth, moderate cow weight, breed leading carcase weight, high IMF and a balance of traits elsewhere are all the reasons we needed to consider using Quinella.
Phenotypically we like his maturity pattern and his muscle expression. With 1850 progeny analysed through Breedplan, Quinella is now proven for a number of these traits.
GLENOCH KALLANGUR K112
3 SONS & 10 GRANDSONS IN 2024 SALE
(INCLUDING BRANGUS)
ID: QBGK112
DOB: 25/08/2014
Sire: ARDROSSAN EQUATOR A241
MGS: TUWHARETOA REGENT D145
TOP 5%: DTC, RBY, NFI-F
TOP 10%: 200, 400 & 600 DW
TOP 15%: CARCASE WT, LEG ANGLE, $ABI, $ABI-L
*As at Mid June 2024 TACE
We purchased K112 in 2016 when we were looking for a bull that would offer high fertility traits, muscle expression and softness. He is a bull that improves every cow he’s joined to.
His sons are super consistent, with soundness, shape and softness. His daughters are very maternal looking, good-bodied females and continue to be a strong platform for our breeding herd. K112 has fantastic feet structure, with little to no claw curl in all four feet, and plenty of heel. He steps correctly and is very quiet like a lot of A241 progeny.
K112 has been a sire of influence and consistency in our herd for seven joining seasons. He was part of Cohort 10 of the Angus Sire Benchmarking Program to further improve the accuracy of his EBVs.
K112’s sire and maternal grandsire need no introduction, having had 7845 and 7190 progeny respectively analysed through Breedplan. It’s his cowline that makes K112 that bit more special, with so many cows that are not only proven for fertility but that have bred on to produce great ones. Like most bulls, there is generally a compromise – for K112 that is birth weight, but it’s hard to fault him elsewhere.

Our go-to high marbling bull in the paddock, Q117 is a long, deep bodied bull and is nicely balanced across all traits.
He has covered seedstock and commercial cows for us. We now have progeny in feed yards with more to go yet, and we look forward to kill data.
With Y408, F148, two crosses of J2810 and some progeny data already analysed through Breedplan, his progeny should grade well.
Past Reference Sires of Influence
GLENOCH HINMAN H221
ID: QBGH221
DOB: 12/08/2012
Sire: TUWHARETOA REGENT D145
MGS: HA PROGRAM 5652
Hinman is proven sire who offers high IMF, carcase weight and feed efficiency, along with calving ease and fast growth.
He is slick skinned, very structurally correct and quiet, and he consistently passes these traits onto his progeny. His progeny grow quickly, and his sons have sold well over many years (up to $26,000).
He has over 240 progeny recorded, and was part of the Angus Sire Benchmarking Program – Cohort 7. His progeny from this program have had data recorded since birth, and have added increased accuracy right across his EBVs.
Hinman proved himself for longevity, having spent a long working life in a commercial operation for John and Guy Campbell around the Condamine and Glenmorgan districts.
Hinman has proven himself for longevity, having worked until he was nine years of age in a commercial operation for John and Guy Campbell around the Condamine and Glenmorgan districts.
In 2018, his mother D80 was sold to Bulliac Angus in the Gems of Glenoch Female Sale. At that time she had produced nine calves with an average calving interval of 367 days. She produced a top calf every time, and always calved in the first 1-2 weeks of our calving period since her first as a two year old.
As a combination of traits, there is no other bull in the Angus Australia database that currently exceeds Hinman for feed efficiency, IMF, carcase weight and birth weight.
GLENOCH-JK MAKAHU M602
ID: QLLM602
DOB: 06/08/2016
Sire: MATAURI REALITY 839
MGS: GLENOCH HINMAN H221
M602 was a standout since he was a young calf. He exhibits all the proven characteristics of his maternal grand sire, Glenoch Hinman H221. Beautiful skin type, fast growth, balanced at every angle, fantastic temperament, and he goes further to add extra softness and scrotal size.
His pedigree is first class, and in particular his maternal pedigree. K615, F606, C102 are magnificent looking cows, who always calved early. The maternal granddam of C102 is Wattletop Ann P55. Lock Rogers rates this GT Maximum cow as one of his best, having produced 63 progeny and grossing around $170,000 in bull sales.
In 2018, we sold M602 to Glatz Black Angus, Avenue Range, South Australia for $25,000 prior to auction.
They have since sold a 50% physical share to Mandayen Angus for $20,000. He was one of Australia's highest rated Angus sires for semen sales, and is marketed globally by Agri-Gene.
Glatz's first sons of M602 sold at auction in February 2021, with 13 bulls averaging $13,923, and selling to a top of $18,000 twice.
Maternal Calving Data:
DAM: QLLK615 8 Calves 367 ACI

DOB: 24/09/2010
Sire: COLE OF BRINKS 14P3
MGS: SONAR OF BRINKS 607L18
Brahman Content: 37.5%
When we saw F707 pictured in a sale catalogue in 2012, we immediately thought this bull has something extra to him. Fortunately, we were able to purchase him and he’s been a solid platform for our Brangus herd.
F707 is 100% USA genetics, and has over 200 progeny analysed through Breedplan.
His calves are fast growing, and he in among the highest in the breed for 200, 400 & 600 DW, scrotal size, carcase weight, EMA, and both $Indexes.
F707 diligently worked in the paddock until he was nine years old, he was a real cow-getter.
