Outwest Angus Sale Catalogue 2025 by Angus Australia

WELCOME TO OUTWEST ANGUS

Welcome to our On Property Bull Sale and thank you for your support and interest in our program. It has been rewarding to see Outwest genetics perform for our clients in the paddock & in the saleyards. We enjoy looking at clients cattle in their own environment.

We are excited about our sale draft. Sires of the bulls have a great blend of phenotype, pedigree depth & strong performance data.

Sires include:

• Millah Murrah Rocket Man R38 ($280,000 record priced angus sire) power & thickness 3 sons. A Rocket Man son topped our sale in 2024

• Millah Murrah Paratrooper P15 ($160,000 2019 record priced bull) fleshing & doing ability 8 sons.

• GB Fireball 672 sure fire calving ease, carcase & growth 3 sons.

• Sitz Resilient 10208 moderate frame & calving ease 15 sons.

• Ellingson Prolific feet & leg improver 8 sons.

• Baldridge SR Goalkeeper growth, muscle & docility 4 sons.

• Outwest KS Revolution R17 & Outwest KS Remada R18 . Growth. Their sons are impressive in the sale draft. 11 sons

All bulls are genomic tested & parent verified and freeze branded for ease of identification.

Many bulls in the draft are low birthweight and calving ease bulls suitable for heifer joinings. Everything has been done to these bulls to insure they perform to the best of their ability in your program.

Our selection puts emphasis on economic traits that are important. Calving ease, birthweight, growth, fertility, maternal function, carcase and temperament. The strength of our herd is in the maternal side.

Please contact us anytime for further information or to arrange an inspection.

On a more personal note it is with sadness that we note the death of Barry McFarlane loved father of Margaret & Bronwyn at 98 years of age. The Bronmar Stud was started in 1964 with the purchase of heifers from Booroomooka & Ben Nevis Studs. Booroomooka Glance & Ben Nevis Flora. Outwest Angus was founded in 1989 with cows from Bronmar including Bronmar Xanthic X7 who won a Reserve Champion at Sydney Royal, & Farrer cows by O’Neills Renovator

We look forward to seeing you sale day

Understanding the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE)

What is the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation?

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).

What is an EBV?

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.

Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals

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).

Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal’s Genetics with the Breed

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.

Considering Accuracy

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.

Description of TACE EBVs

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.

$A $

$A-L $

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall net profitability in the majority of commercial, self replacing, grass and grain finishing beef production systems.

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.
