Weeran RASV Heifer Challenge Finalist
The Weeran Angus team was thrilled to be announced one of the ten finalists for the RASV Heifer Challenge for Beef Week. Bob Dent judged the 50 pens of heifers across the state, and said “there were some wonderful entries from many different breeds and it was a difficult job to decide ten finalists”. Bob said “Weeran’s heifers were very maternal, with plenty of growth, and good bodies with plenty of capacity. He said they were beautiful types with perfect temperament”.
Weeran will be offering a number of autumn drop bulls, alongside their spring drop bulls for their 26th Annual Autumn Bull Sale to be held on 1st March, 2016 @ 1pm.
Sire lines that will impress are Dunoon Gabba, Rennylea Edmund, Irelands Fletcher, Carabar Docklands, Barwidgee Jay-W, and home bred sires Weeran Gerard G159, and Weeran Gloucester G124.
Dunoon Gabba has 8 sons in the sale. He is the $60,000 TeMania Bartel son who excels for IMF and positive Rib and Rump fat. Moderate in frame size, easy doing, and has worked well in the Weeran herd.
Rennylea Edmund has 10 sons in the sale and has been selected as an outlier for IMF and positive fat. He also brings calving ease, and works best over sound, high growth rate cows.
Alec Moore said “he was interested to sample Ireland’s Fletcher F1 as an outcross sire who brought calving ease and exceptional growth curve to our herd. He has worked well with big growth spread and useful IMF.”
Barwidgee Jay-W has been in demand at previous sales, and we are very pleased to be offering 6 sons in this sale. An exceptional growth curve with low birthweight, and high milk. Home bred sire, Weeran Gerard G159, topped the Weeran 2013 autumn sale selling to Naweena Investments in SA. We believed he would be an outlier for marbling from
our scanning data. He has bred very well, producing super sound cattle which are thick, meaty and easy doing, which is in demand by the industry.
