BEN NEVIS GERANIUM J135#

Please note we have moved back into the true yearling section as we finish out the sale. Tambo is a bigger frame than his impressive sire and offers excellent market flexibility. He is deep in the rib and flank and ties deep in his quarter which is a real weight bonus. This is a great bull to inject IMF into your herd without sacrificing performance or type. Suitable for heifers.

If you are after growth for age and performance then this is your guys. His dam is another full sister to our current # 1 donor cow N17 who is the dam of Lot 4 and of last year’s top price bull. N24 is a massive cow who is deep and heavy. This joining is rock solid and just as honest as the day is long. It’s also a double dose of docility. This bull should have been higher in the catalogue and has a huge potential to be a game changer in your herd. In the flesh he is a bum buster, wedge shaped with a huge top and was the fourth highest ADG bull in sale. He has a big, kind face and great feet and legs.

Tora is the perfect way to boost your IMF at the coal face by using him over your valuable heifers at the same time. He is a bigger frame bull but still ideal in his shape and type to be used over heifers and you can be assured that they will be born small but then grow like the clappers. We love the reach of this bull and perfect angle to his shoulder to facilitate calving ease despite being large framed. Our theory on fine skin and hair reflecting IMF rings true in him, just as it did for cattlemen and women in the past that used it as a predictor of eating quality before we had the science. Scanned = fourth highest IMF, Suitable for heifers.

This is one of the larger framed, slightly later maturing bulls in this section and would really add power and stretch to more moderate cows. He is very soft in his makeup with more depth and volume than most of the bulls. We see a lot of potential in this guy especially in targeting the Jap B3 and branded beef trades. His daughters will be superb. He is supremely docile.

He has a soft, fine coat and a kind nature to go with it. Suitable for heifers.

Talisman is one of the bulls in the yearling section who really has plenty more scope to grow into a big bull and transmit those genes to his progeny. He carries his weight in depth and volume as well as a huge hind quarter and he will produce beautiful deep sided cows that have plenty of high value market flexibility. Use to inject both IMF and finishing ability to target the premium trades. Scanned = third P8 fat with a B- muscle.

Taskforce has sire appeal out of his wahoozie just like his other 3 ET brothers in the sale in Lots 28, 43 and 68. The recips at Ben Nevis got a tougher gig than the rest of the cow run this year so these ET calves have so much more potential in them. We can’t impress how much his Braveheart dam donor Jean M72 stamps out the good ones. Just no-nonsense, weigh down the scales, early-maturity and a sensible approach to carcase merit. Beautiful to handle and so quiet on great feet and legs. His maternal brother Shrek was one of the stars of our 2022 sale, selling to Andrew Dean for $26,000, his maternal sister P117 is a donor in her own right. He is The Man and will grow out into a beautiful bull. Scanned = third P8

Purchased by:

Taggart is the last of M72 x Prime Minister bulls in the sale and is a maternal brother to Lot 28, and a full brother to Lots 43 and 67 so see their Lot comments for extra information. This genetic combination gives you all the power of his massive dam with the extra carcase from Prime Minister. Taggart is stout, proud and hard to fault. He will improve shoulder structure due to the way his are well laid in, with his bladed set below his chine, and will also correct hip-pin set-up. He is the classic cattleman... (and womans) kind. He will be good to you.

DAM BEN NEVIS JEAN P118SV

BEN NEVIS JEAN M73SV

Here is an absolute ripper late in the sale and a testament to the calibre of this yearling bull set. Tomahawk is one of the widest topped, stoutest hipped bulls in the sale wrapped in a soft, silky coat. His width in spades and clean seat to his pants are old indicators of both quality beef and ability of his daughters to milk. Today we have more science to work with but it’s amazing how reflective those old fashioned traits still are. We love Tomahawke’s pedigree as it combines quality outcross genetics like Judo with our latest young gun genetics in Rambo and he has a data set to match, making him the ideal herd improving bull.

Tartress is an ideal bull for your heifers with a smooth, well laid in shoulder and longer body and neck. This is backed up by his data set and lower actual birthweight in the contemporary while still proving his place in the sale team on his growth. He is a good type of bull with smoothness and balance throughout. Suitable for heifers.

A really stout young bull here that stands down on more bone with a powerful hip. If you like bull’s heads as much as we do then this guy should be on your list. Square, strong and manly it reflects the rest of him. He’s not just handsome, this guy threw down the gauntlet to the bigger bulls in his contemporary when he scanned the = third highest for IMF and = second highest for P8 fat. That’s some serious runs on the board. Suitable for heifers.

Timbers dam is one of the consistently high performing cows in our herd and stems from the dam of our favourite son Ben Nevis Judo. Like her Timber shows a rare softness and thickness and is impeccable in his structure. He is one of the younger bulls in the sale but holds his own where performance is concerned and he combines real quality in this pedigree.

We are not surprised that Trev scanned equal 4th highest IMF. The other bull who matched him was Lot 44 and they share the same Grand Dam and their mums are maternal sisters. The theory we have on thin, fine skin is playing out here, with both bulls posting very high IMF scans despite their pedigrees suggesting otherwise and it all comes from the beautiful Nemonaville Bandetta (Burnette A22’s bloodline) we purchased from Nev and Mona Kirkman. In himself he is neat, well balanced and pure quality. Suitable for heifers.
