Auction Sale interfaced with AuctionsPlus after Euroa Store Sale 2nd April 2025
Welcome to the Campaspe Rocks complete dispersal sale. Campaspe Rocks Angus Stud is a small Angus stud in Axedale Victoria, beside the Campaspe River, 24 kilometers from Bendigo.
After fifteen years of breeding angus cattle the time has come for Robyn and myself to call it a day and start a new adventure. It has been a difficult decision but due to my ill health over the past two years we both felt it was time. The hardest decision we have had to make was to put our farm on the market late last year and it is now been sold. It is with heavy heart we offer you our amazing cattle through our complete dispersal sale.
We have both loved breeding cattle and are proud of the progress we have made. In the beginning we started with 10 cows and calves at foot. We then went on to purchase several cows from dispersal sales with strong family lines. Also building up our herd using Embryo transfers and Al. At times on our property, we have run up to 100 cows, calves, heifers and bulls at one time.
Our Philosophy has always been to breed the best females we could, through my research I used proven genetics that we thought would work with in our herd. Replacement breeders have been selected on type and our breeding decisions have always endeavored to create females with, sound
udders, docility, excellent calving ease and sound structure. We have always selected and used our own bulls as backup bulls and breeding.
We have several strong cow family lines, the most consistent are the Dream line to CCVY301, the Princess line to NAQW38, the Wilcoola and Merrigrange, the Blackbird and Lowan line.I have listed the auction lots in the individual cow family lines.
As we are a small stud and consistently in contact with our cattle either in the paddocks feeding, driving around or handling in the yards. This contact makes them very quiet and easy doing.
This year has been one of the toughest years we have experienced over the last 15 years.
It has been tough to maintain the condition on the cattle due to the extremely hot dry conditions we have experienced over the past 3 months.
Once again, we welcome you to our sale and hope from some of the strong family lines we have developed you will find a female or two that will complement your herd and continue the family lines.

Animal details included in this catalogue, including but not limited to pedigree, DNA information, Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) and Index values, are based on information provided by the breeder or owner of the animal. Whilst all reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the information provided in this catalogue was correct at the time of publication, Angus Australia will assume no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information, nor for the outcome (including consequential loss) of any action taken based on this information.
The animals listed within this catalogue including its pedigree, are displaying a Parent Verification Suffix which indicates the DNA parent verification status that has been conducted on the animal. The Parent Verification Suffixes that will appear at the end of each animal’s name.
PV: both parents have been verified by DNA.
SV: the sire has been verified by DNA.
DV: the dam has been verified by DNA.
#: DNA verification has not been conducted.
E: DNA verification has identified that the sire and/or dam may possibly be incorrect, but this cannot be confirmed conclusively.
In order for Angus Australia to process the transfer of a registered animal in this catalogue, the vendor will need to provide certain information to Angus Australia and the buyer consents to the collection and disclosure of that information by Angus Australia in certain circumstances. If the buyer does not wish for his or her information to be stored and disclosed by Angus Australia, the buyer must notify in writing to Angus Australia. If Angus Australia is not notified, then the buyer will be taken to have consented to the disclosure of such information.
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations.
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).
An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).
EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.
TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s). For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20
kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals recorded with Angus Australia. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:
• the breed average EBV
• the percentile bands table
The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes.
For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.
An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.
The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.
EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.
EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.

Higher EBVs indicate more intramuscular fat.
Lower EBVs indicate more feed efficiency.
Higher EBVs indicate better temperament.
Lower EBVs indicate less curl of the claw set.
Lower EBVs indicate more heel depth.
Lower EBVs indicate a less angular leg angle.
Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.
$A-L $
The $A-L index is similar to the $A index but is modelled on a production system where feed is surplus to requirements for the majority of the year, or the cost of supplying additional feed when animal feed requirements increase is low.
While the $A aims to maintain mature cow weight, the $A-L does not aim to limit the increase in mature cow weight as there is minimal cost incurred if the feed maintenance requirements of the female breeding herd increase as a result of selection decisions.
Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.
