Hooper, dare I say it, is a fantastic son of TeMania Africa! Unprecedented birth to final, outstanding milk in the top 1% for the breed, extraordinary scrotal also in the top 1%, along with a Heavy Grass Index in the top 3%.

He is a power bull with top 1% growth for 200, 400 and 600 day weight, with positive fat and good IMF.

Millah Murrah Kingdom K35
Millah Murrah Kingdom needs no introduction as the $150,000 Australian record priced Angus bull purchased by a syndicate including Witherswood Angus, Gilmandyke Angus, Ascot Angus and ABS Australia. Breeders who have used Kingdom appreciate the excellent impact he is having, breeding almighty power, adding huge capacity, wonderful bone and structure and an easy keeping temperament you want in your herd. His daughters are receiving great praise for their capacity and structure with excellent udders and the great job they are doing on their calves. Wherever they have been offered, with their sire’s “paper shortcomings” moderated, Kingdom’s sons sell at or near the top of the offering, said Ross Thompson of Millah Murrah. At the 2018 Millah Murrah sale, a Kingdom son broke the oldest record in the breed, when M192 sold for $34,000 to break the $27,000 mark set for an APR bull in 1991.
Weeran Lachlan L58
Weeran Lachlan, a son of home bred sire Weeran Hooper, was purchased by Paul and Jenny Lewis and has bred and grown out very well. He is a double cross of Te Mania Africa which has worked really well. Excellent calving ease and good birth to final, with exceptional scrotal…… should have nuts on him like canon balls.
He is in the top 8% of the breed for IMF. You can breed elite eating quality beef efficiently with a sire like this!
Millah Murrah Docklands J193
J193 was the $17,000 high selling yearling to Monterey Angus in 2014. From the same dam as Ascot Hallmark, Millah Murrah Brenda F123, the 690 kilogram yearling by Carabar Docklands D62, has grown into a massive volume sire producing ultra sleek coated, beautifully laid shouldered, amply fleshing, good framed cattle. He was described by Monterey Angus as a “special bull with no holes in his structure complimented by sensational figures”.
Millah Murrah Emperor K184
A semen share was purchased by Weeran in this yearling bull at the record breaking 2015 Millah Murrah sale. The TeMania Emperor sons I believe are very impressive, and I felt this yearling bull displayed the Millah Murrah type with enough petrol in the tank, to use in a performance orientated program. His progeny are great types . . . thick, deep sided, broad based cattle that catch your eye.
Millah Murrah Klooney K42
Klooney sold for $80,000 at Millah Murrah in 2015. He is the first calf of Prue H4, who many
consider to be the best Emperor daughter to surface. Klooney is receiving rave comments from breeders across the country for his ability to transmit exceptional structure and phenotypic excellence to his offspring. In Spring 2017, the first nine Klooney sons sold at Millah Murrah to a $50,000 industry record yearling price and an average exceeding $20,000. In 2018, wherever Klooney bulls have sold, they have either topped the sale or been among the high selling sire groups. 1,066 progeny have been analysed across 66 herds.

Barwidgee Jay W was purchased in 2011. He is right up in the stirrups for growth and excellent body type. “I have a lot of faith in this sire line to perform in the paddock which is what counts in the end” said Alec Moore. All his data for growth and carcase is heading in the right direction. His progeny are very impressive and have been well received in the marketplace.
