TEXAS TRAILBLAZER T806 (ET) PV
TOP STUD SIRE. This year we thought these two big, growthy, very stylish TRAILBLAZER sons were a good choice to start the pick or the pair. Both these boys are ET Sons out of some of our highest performing, long, heavy bodied Donor cows we have and just look at the size, strength and capacity they display. T806 is one of those bulls that just oozes the Texas power, performance and presence. Big, strong head and outlook, plenty of bone, very long, deep, heavy fleshing body and slick in the skin, perfect for the Queensland environment. He will grow into a large beefy bull designed to pack on the kilos, add more carcass weight with that extra rib and survive and thrive in most environments. A great combination of all traits with added growth and weight. Top 1% for 200, 400, 600 day weight & CWT.

Tex 52
TEXAS TRAILBLAZER T812 (ET)
TOP STUD SIRE. T812 is the other impressive proud looking Trailblazer ET son for this pair who is out of the same dam as ICEMAN with very similar characteristics of size, length, volume and weight for age. With the maternal background of his dam H647 breeding so many recognised stud sires such as NO REGRETS, POWERPLAY & POWERSHIFT, and the performance data he displays, there is no doubt T812 will grow into a mighty big, impressive sire designed for that job of adding performance, carcass weight and profitability into any cattle operation. A very impressive young Sire to see in the flesh and very quiet.

TOP STUD SIRE. A full ET brother to Lot 52 with all the same characteristics. These are high performance cattle that will breed true to type with many generations of proven genetics. Both his dam and grand dam Texas UNDINE H647 & Z183 have produced many stud sires sold across Australia and both cows have nearly a million dollars in bull sales each with many more stud sires to come. T811 ticks all the boxes. He is an impressive looking, very profitable genetic package where each sector of the beef industry can and will make money on the performance and carcase quality this young sire will produce.
