We always start the sale with a cracking bull and you cannot go wrong with Trucker. He not introduces the sale but a ripping run of seven full ET brothers in Lots 15, 24, 42, 46, 47 and 74 that showcase the might of our maternal line in Ben Nevis Jean N238. N238 is a full ET sister to industry AI Sire Ben Nevis Newsflash (owned by Bannaby Angus), and daughter of the $82,000 Ben Nevis Jean H215 (owned by Bannaby and Banquet). This run of ET bulls are peas in a pod and in the flesh Trucker is upheaded with great sire appeal, a kind face and demeanour, terrific spring of rib, a thumping hindquarter and a beautiful slick coat. He stands down hard on the scales and boasts the fourth highest ADG in his contemporary.

BEN NEVIS JEAN H215SV

Triumph is the first of five ET full brothers in the sale from the maternal sister of Lot 1's dam in M30 who is again out of the then record $82,000 Ben Nevis Jean H215. Triumph and his brothers contain in their DNA the wealth of maternal genes that the Jeans stamp into their progeny. They never miss. Triumph is a most impressive sire with the extra carcase attributes of Forecaster under his hide who is the sire of the US$250,000 Baldridge Versatile. He is the largest of the ET brothers including Lots 7, 19, 20 and maternal brother in Lot 12. He has extra front extension and ‘look at me presence’ while introducing the natural thickness, slickness and extra body length that they all possess. His three ET sisters rank #2, 3 and 4 in our yearling heifers for type. Super docile with impressive data that places him third highest for IMF, = fifth highest EMA and fifth highest ADG.

In the last two sales Tankers four full ET brothers have averaged $32,000 with Ben Nevis Scorcher S465 selling for equal top price in our 2022 sale of $40,000. In our opinion Tanker is the best yet of these calves with the most impressive skin of any bull in the sale and the third highest ADG. His combination of softness and natural thickness is unsurpassed and he carries the maternal genes of our current #1 ranking donor Ben Nevis Jean N17. His full sister ranks #1 in the yearling heifers. We know BREEDPLAN is a great guide but common sense would tell you that this B- muscle bull that scanned with the highest EMA in his contemporary has some of the muscle markers that genomics is yet to identify. B- muscle, super docile. Note: loves a scratch and has left most of his hair on the pointed branch of a fallen tree in his paddock. Has been treated for lice. It will grow back J

Ben Nevis Tank is an incredibly easy bull to like with an impeccable structure, sire appeal and an extra thump of natural thickness, softness and old fashioned do-ability. He combines a magic combination of carcase and maternal and will transmit a marbling boost while maintaining the broody softness and depth that the Nixon females have given us. He has an extraordinary birth to growth spread for his data set and was the second highest ADG bull in the contemporary. On top of that, he stems from one of our very best cow lines with Donor Ben Nevis Jean L28 who was purchased by Merit Farms at our 2020 Cow Sale for $18,000. Her daughters are pure gold to us and are prolific in this sale having bulls represented as Lots 4, 8, 25,49 and 54. Tank scanned fourth for IMF, third highest EMA, first for P8 fat – he is the full package. Suitable for heifers.

We called this bull Top Shelf because his pedigree is rich in Ben Nevis blood and stacked with quality. He has enormous potential, a terrific stud sires outlook and a superb skin (one of the best in the sale), and this was reflected in his performance at scan time, where he not only scanned second highest for IMF, fourth highest for P8 fat but also had superior IMF fleck (distribution), indicating true quality. His structure is supple and not constrained and will allow him to keep growing into a much bigger bull. He will breed deep, silky coated daughters with a ton of capacity. Pure quality here. Suitable for heifers. Pictured page 19.

His dam is in the donor pen and has the most grunt of all the cows there, with her embryos to Quarterback selling for $5,050 each to Rob and Tania Jarret for the Molong Charity Auction.

He is the highest ADG bull in his contemporary by far and always has been. He is super, super quiet and a bull with loads of personality. Scanned = fourth highest EMA, = third for P8 fat. B- muscle.

Just like his famous dam, grand-dam and sisters it’s hard to take your eyes off this striking bull with his extra presence and style, and in Tradewind’s case an ability to add dimension and scale. He is similar to his full ET brother in Lot 2 in that he will add beautiful skin and transmit maternal superiority as well as growth dimension. He has broken the mould here by upping the ante on carcase traits topping the IMF scan in this large contemporary of 80 bulls and #2 for IMF. Genetics is wonderful but it has a mind of its own so it’s great when our plans come together like this. He is just a delight to handle and comes highly recommended.

Two Up’s dam is a maternal sister to Lot 4’s dam and full sister to Lots 25, 29’s, 49 and 54 dams, with his granddam L128 one of the stars of our female sale selling to Merit Farms for $18,000 where she is breeding exceptionally well.

Tsunami is a lot of bull and he stands out from the crowd as a result of that. If you got above the bulls and picked them he would be an easy choice. It is unusual to get this level of thickness with this level of softness, and you would say that his muscle is not the hard expressive kind, but the valuable, soft, deep drizzly kind. His pedigree is Ben Nevis royalty and contains (yes surprise), another famous Jean donor – this one H103 who is our highest grossing female of all time and sold for $26,000 to Forres Angus at our 2023 Cow Sale. Tsunami is very, very docile and is a B- muscle.

In the flesh he has extra width through his lower quarter and is very free moving with both length and power. Suitable for heifers.

When you get over the top of him he is very wide and full behind the shoulder, stout though the hip and full on the plates. These are all quality traits that are largely being lost to the breed today. His dam is in our Donor pen, she is a super cow and, like him, deep sided, broody and soft. This is one of the true gems of our sale. Scanned equal fourth P8 fat with high EMA and IMF. B- muscle.

Ton is Ben Nevis Jeans natural calf by our majestic and easy-doing stud sire Ben Nevis Monarch. If a nuclear bomb hit tomorrow there would be two species survive- coachroaches and Monarch (as well as Monarch’s dam wombat owned by Marg Will). Like his Sire Ton has that magical skin and doing ability and he will grow into a very big bull. He is also super quiet and loves a scratch. His sire Monarch has been utilised in composite breeding programs for North Queensland and his paternal brother Mokoan Salvadore exported to South America. Ton has an exceptional neck and shoulder transition which is smooth and well lain in, with a long neck and body to facilitate calving ease. His calves will then grow like the clappers.

The last of the 18 month old bulls for a bit as we move into the true yearlings in the next lot. Theron is a bigger framed bull who not only has scale but extra length and is very powerful in his makeup. He has a thumping hindquarter with good expression down through his lower thigh. He offers tremendous flexibility in his data set that can target lighter weights through to the premium longer fed markets and he will breed excellent replacement females with capacity.
