Welcome to the Red Oak ‘Genetics Time’ sale offering and flyer for 2025!
In our 2025 Red Oak ‘Genetics Time’ sale we offer the opportunity for you to participate in and multiply from 17 outstanding semen sires in the Limousin breed. We are super pleased to present this line-up on the 25th March which we believe presents a set of Limousin semen sire opportunities that are as deep, as consistent, and yet as genetically diverse as you will find.
In presenting the Red Oak ‘Genetics Time’ sale for 2025 we knew that we would need to continue the tradition of digging deep and providing many genetic feature lots. There are a number of unique opportunities presented within this sale catalogue. These opportunities include:
Our last 4 straws of B-Bar Carhartt as Lot 1
125 straws from the 2024 BEEF Australia Interbreed Champion Bull Oakwood Cutright!
Plus 6 straws of Oakwood Cutright from which the proceeds will go to Qld Limousin Youth (Lot 2)
The above offering will be one of at most two opportunities to secure semen from this SUPER IMPRESSIVE Limousin sire in 2025. We may present 50 straws in a Red Oak ‘Spring 50’ sale in October 2025…if we hold a Spring sale.
5 x 5 straw packages of the super sire JYF Gentry!
This is the second to last release of JYF Gentry semen
25 straws in this sale
25 straws reserved for a future sale
Our final 50 straws of JYF Hamilton!
We probably should have split this up across a couple of sales too…but here goes!
The progeny reports on JYF Hamilton have been consistently positive!
The opportunity to procure semen from three Homo Polled and Homo Black Limousin semen sires
Cole Genius 34G / TREF Kansas / East Coast Hector
New semen sires B-Bar / VLE Affirmed and Morrisvale Unthinkabull U18
We have also added an exceptional Angus sire for those breeding Lim-Flex or Angus!
Plus many more!
We seek to identify and multiply from beef genetics with a balance and combination of the following key traits:
Strong footed / Wide muzzled
Moderate birthweight
Easy to work with
Moderate, thick, and soft made phenotype
Good uddered with excellent maternal strength
Large scrotal size
Favourable carcase and eating quality
Collectively there is strong alignment between these traits and the genetic opportunities presented in this sale.
While we likely place about 70% of our focus on phenotype and 30% on EBV’s…we were quietly pleased when we looked at the average EBV’s of the Limousin semen sires offered in this years Red Oak ‘Genetics Time’ sale and how they compare to Limousin breed average. This analysis is presented visually on Page 6 in this flyer. Some highlights for us included the set of Limousin bulls in this sale collectively being in the Top 5% for short gestation length, the Top 10% for Domestic Maternal $ Index, the Top 15% for scrotal size, and the Top 20% for growth traits whilst being Top 25% for birthweight! Again, the auction will run for just 30 minutes before the timer kicks in and the clock starts counting down. Thanks for considering our genetics for your program…we really appreciate your custom!
All the best!
