The Designer Genes 2018 sale group would like to invite you to our 3rd Annual DGS Event

It is with great excitement that we present to you our 3rd Annual Designer Genes Hereford Sale catalogue. Making this event better and better each year is a serious challenge for our sale team, but this year we think we have the ingredients for one of the best sale offerings in the history of the Hereford breed. If you don’t think this is possible, come and take a look for yourself.

This year we kick off our sale offering a day early with the DGS Goes Global Sale, which takes place on the Friday night at 8pm. Over the past two years, a few international lots have taken pride of place in our DGS sale offering, but this year we knew we needed to go one step further. On offer will be genetics from the UK, Denmark, Canada, USA, Uruguay, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. These genetics are from some of the world’s leading Hereford programs and have the potential to push your herd to the fore.

Our Saturday sale offering starts with twist this year, and we are proud to announce that lot 1 in our Designer Genes Hereford Sale is none other than the UK Hereford Bull of the Year 2018 – Coley 1 Pilot. We have wanted to offer a herd sire prospect lot in the past but never plucked up the courage, so as soon as we set eyes on Pilot, we knew he was coming to Shrewsbury. Check out his sale page, it speaks for itself!

The crème de la crème of our event is always our females and 2018 is no different. This year’s offering contains some of the freshest genetics that the UK Hereford industry has to offer. Throughout 2018 we have focused our efforts on consigning females from proven cow families that we know have the potential to go on and do great things for their new owners and the breed as a whole. Whether you are looking for phenotype, pedigree, performance data or just utter perfection then these females are what you’ve been waiting for!

So here he is, your 2018 UK Hereford Bull of the Year. From his first outing at Otley Show, this bull has grabbed the attention of judges, breeders, farmers, enthusiasts and spectators like no other – and for good reason. His sheer power and muscle are a spectacle on their own, but coupled with his locomotion, structure and freedom of movement, in our view he is a breed changer in the making. His dam is none other than Romany 1 Ishbel D1 M11 – Agri Expo Supreme Champion 2015, and he’s got performance too, being in the top 10% for 200, 400 and 600 Day Weights and Scrotal. Not forgetting his 38kg birthweight! His 2018 accolades include two Male Championships, three Breed Championships and two Interbreed Championships – successful to say the least! Bulls like Pilot don’t come around very often, so in true DGS style, December 8th presents you with the chance to take home one of the best. Successful purchaser also gets 100 straws of UK qualified Pilot semen.

Behold some first class DGS Royalty! Jane 8th is the fourth member of the epic Moorside Jane family to sell at Designer Genes and it doesn’t take much to see why she made the cut. The Jane’s have been 1st, 2nd and 3rd in recent National Female of the Year Competitions, with their key attributes being length, breadth and easy fleshing.

Jane 8th is no exception to the rule! Her EBVs put her in the top 5% for 200, 400 and 600 Day Weights plus Terminal and Self Replacing Indices, while her Eye Muscle Area and Retail Beef Yield are in the top 1% of the breed.

Sired by Lawbreaker and out of a full sister to Jane 3rd who sold for 5000gns to Steven and Lizzie Walker at Designer Genes 2016. In-calf to the $95000 Minlacowie Jubilant J123 bull, this outcross mating is as exciting as it gets.

What a stunner!

Another pedigree that is rammed to the rafters with breed changing sires like Kingsize, Castro and Barnstormer. A Kingsize daughter herself, Kimberly is also a full sister to Moralee 1 Porterhouse (Supreme Champion at Shrewsbury Christmas Calf Show 2017) that sold to Peter Eccles. The way in which this female is put together is something quite extraordinary, but it explains why she has been named Reserve Female and Reserve Junior Female at the Scottish National 2018 as well as a class winner at the National Poll Show 2018.

A solid heifer with a solid pedigree! The Lily family is one of our oldest dating back to 1964. Clicking back through the pedigree of this heifer reminds you of her immense history and breeding. Romany 1 Emperor - Poll Bull of the Year 2009 and Junior Interbreed Champion at The Royal Show. Baybridge 1 Atlas - three times UK Sire of the Year, Glenlees Storm - Royal and Highland Show Champion and double Sire of the Year, Free Town Longfellow former Royal Show Champion, Bowmont Ambition previous Hereford Show and Sale Champion, Davis 12P Marathon - previous Royal Highland Show Champion and Havenfield Huntsman a bull who was one of Romany’s foundation sires. Her own sire, this year’s Hereford Sire of the Year just adds yet more depth to the equation. The Lily line is one that delivers, producing this year’s joint top priced bull at the Hereford Spring Sale (Romany 1 Poseidon). Romany are using the last son from Lily 41H W47 in the herd presently with 4 other sons from this dam all becoming stock bulls. This isn't just an investment in a heifer, it's an investment in history for the future.

Her grandam is Haven Dowager 137th who herself is the dam of 10 calves including the famous Haven Cavalier. Dowager 4th is sired by Haven Hotspur who is no stranger to siring quality breeding stock.

We thought we better make a little addition to the previous Lily offering - we'll just add a bit of the Lucy line with the addition of previous Royal Highland Show Champion Romany 1 Heavyduty A84 H12 a son of the breed changing Romany 1 Lucy A49. Like all the heifers Romany have picked for your selection we feel the pedigrees offer you a chance to breed something special. We could repeat the history of this female line as written about for Lily BL R23 but suggest you have a wee scan back over it. Make your own history instead with this heifer, she's a type that will offer you the chance to use a number of sires on. This heifer has a massive set of numbers attached to her too, being Top 1% for Eye Muscle, Retail Beef Yield, TI and SRI, as well Top 5% for all growth rates. Sired again by Lancer, 2018 UK Hereford Sire of the Year.

The Lucy female line needs no introduction and this young heifer offers you the chance to make a great addition to your herd or a sound starting point for a new one. Lucy BL R47 is a long, sweet heifer with an outstanding top, full of width but yet retains the femininity the line is famous for. Her dam is a hard working cow who always produces year after year.

Her dam is sired by past Sire of the Year SMH Castro, who's daughters have a firm footing in the Romany Herd. R47 is once again sired by Barwise 1 Lancer, 2018 UK Hereford Sire of the Year. He is doing an outstanding job at the Romany herd and will be sure to make an impact like other sires at Romany have done before him. He is leaving calves easily born of moderate birth weight who are growing and scanning well. He is sired by former Bull of the Year and Sire of the Year Barwise 1 Wellington a bull packed with an international pedigree. You want a Romany Lucy? Here’s your chance!

The polled breed is a new frontier for the Kemp family, but as with all their ‘Auckvale endeavours’, they’ve hit a home run with this one. Curly 1725R is the first female to ever sell from the Polled herd at Auckvale, and one of the most powerful females in our sale offering. Words alone cannot describe the power, mass, performance and muscle this female possesses, so it is no wonder why she was named Best Heifer Calf in the NEHBA herd competition. Her dam is a consistent producer at Auckvale and Curly will be no different. She is top 10% for 200 and 400 Day Weights and top 5% for Milk. The breeding ability and longevity of the Auckvale Curly family combined with the Muttley sire is sure to make this heifer a female of the future.
