WELCOME TO THE 2026 J.B. ANGUS BULL SALE

Welcome

Hello All, and welcome to our eleventh On-line Bull Sale.

Coming for sale at JB Angus Stud in 2026 are some exiting new sire lines, and some proven favorites from the last couple of years. After my trip the United States in 2023 two sires have made a lasting impact, and have been incorporated into our programme. Based on ebv’s alone these two bulls may not have been chosen, but this only serves to reenforce the obvious, we breed cattle NOT data!

The first of these is Baldridge Badger, a son of one of the most heralded cows in the Angus breed, Baldridge Isabel Y69. Her list of accomplishments are too numerous to mention, but a few of her sons that many of you would know include BeastMode, Bronc and 38 Special. Badgers’ masculine phenotype, sound structure and extremely docile nature immediately triggered a use case for me over the more feminine maternally orientated females I have been building within the herd, and I have certainly been pleased with the overall results. Badger has brought solid growth combined with greater muscle expression, wonderfully sound foot and leg structure, and pasted on his docile nature better than any other sire I have used in recent memory.

A standout line for 2026 will be five flush brothers from Coonamble L339, whom I purchased in 2022 for thirty-two thousand dollars. L339 is sired by Coonamble Hector who in my humble opinion is perhaps Australias’ most prolific cow maker of the last decade or so, and her dam is Carabar Docklands over Bangadang Lowan A61, who is probably Australias’ version of Y69.

This cross has worked well and is sure to interest those seeking consistency through pedigree. I believe the Badger progeny generally have a lot to offer and will prove popular with those of you who value phenotype highly, as can be seen with the photo of V82.

The second sire inspected in the United States that impressed was Tehama Testament. Viewed whilst in service at the Thiel Ranch in South Dakota, he impressed as a free moving balanced sire that should suit heifer joining well. As a naturally earlier maturing individual, I have used him over larger framed females with a little extra capacity and I think this has worked out well. Progeny for sale are suitable for heifer joining and the data would suggest good carcass attributes.

I have again gone to one of my older proven favorites in Sitz Stellar. Our Stellar females now in production have proved their fertility in tough conditions, show fantastic udder conformation, and have raised solid calves ticking all the profit boxes. Experience is a wonderful teacher and this years sons are amongst our best.

The other young sire in this coming sale that may be of particular interest to those who appreciate the visual impact a sire may have should be V128. He is an Alpine Rock Solid son out of Coonamble L109, also purchased in 2022 for thirty thousand and also a Hector daughter. L109 is from the Wilcoola female line, with another great cow maker in Sitz Upward as maternal grand sire. Both L109 and L339 will feature in future sales at JB Angus and their influence through their daughters will leave a lasting legacy.

We will again be joined by my good friends the Baynes, adding a little variation to the sale and whose support during the year and Stacis’ photography is greatly appreciated. We hope that you are able to join us during the Beef Week showcase to see for yourselves all the genetics on offer. As the old saying goes “the eye doesn’t lie, only the perception differs” I believe this to be true, as we all have different priorities around the development of our respective herds. By selecting sires that may improve any perceived weakness and build upon our strengths should drive the consistent improvement we all seek. This practice along with culling those that fail to measure up is what continues to push the JB Angus herd forward, making visual inspection a must.

Wishing everyone a successful season ahead and hoping to see you during Beef Week, Jock Hislop and the Baynes

All JB Angus sale bulls have been independently structurally assessed to maximise the quality of stock offered. All stock have been assessed by Ian Moreland on the 24/1/26.

How to use:

The Beef Class Structural Assessment System uses a 1-9 scoring system for feet and leg structure:

• A score of 5 is ideal

• 4 and 6 show slight variation from ideal, but this includes most animals. Any animal scoring 4 and 6 would be acceptable in any breeding program

• 3 and 7 shows greater variation, but would be acceptable in most commercial breeding programs, however seedstock producers should be wary

• 2 and 8 are low scoring animals and have been culled

Temperament

Reference: 1-5 (half scores permitted) using yard test scale below:

1. Docile

The animal is easily held in the corner and the handler can get close enough to put their stick on the animal.

2. Restless

The animal can be held in the corner but exhibits some restlessness and flicking of the tail. The handler cannot get close enough to put their stick on the animal before it moves away.

3. Nervous

The animal is not easily held in the corner even when the handler is some distance back from the animal, continual movement and tail flicking.

4. Flighty (wild)

The animal cannot be held in the corner, frantically runs the fence line and may jump when penned individually, exhibits long flight distance.

5. Aggressive

Similar behavior to score 4 but is also aggressive towards the handler, stares at the handler and threatens to charge or charges (Handler is advised to exit the yard before the animal actually charges).
