“We are excited to present you with a unique opportunity to acquire top tier genetics.”
WELCOME
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Southcote Herd’s inaugural female sale—a landmark event for Shorthorn enthusiasts and breeders alike. Jodie and I are excited to present both new and seasoned breeders with a unique opportunity to acquire top-tier genetics from a breed that continues to show immense promise within the Australian beef industry. With over 50 years of committed genetic selection, the Southcote program is renowned for consistently delivering high-performance cattle, proven to excel in both commercial and genetic contexts.
ELITE GENETICS ON OFFER
For this highly anticipated sale, we’ve handpicked a selection of cattle that exemplify the very best of Southcote’s breeding program. Buyers will have access to elite bloodlines, including foundation genetics that will enhance uniformity in breeding programs, as well as outcross genetics that have demonstrated exceptional performance in diverse environments.
To ensure a thoughtful and informed purchasing experience, we’ve opted for a long-running Helmsman Sale format. This approach allows prospective buyers ample time to review their options and make decisions at their own pace, within their budget. We understand that the fast-paced nature of traditional auctions can sometimes rush the decision-making process, which is why we’ve designed this sale to offer a more deliberate and strategic approach to purchasing.
WHY SHORTHORN CATTLE?
Shorthorns are more than just a breed—they’re a profitable investment. Known for their rapid growth, exceptional fat cover, and superior carcass traits, Shorthorns consistently outperform when crossed with other breeds, making them highly lucrative in both grass-fed and feeder markets. Their exceptional maternal qualities further enhance their value, making them a favorite among commercial producers who demand productivity and profitability.
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE SALE LOTS
The heifers selected for this inaugural offering are among the most outstanding phenotypic individuals from our herd. These heifers were featured at the prestigious 2024 Shorthorn Heifer Show, with Lots 4 and 6 standing out as exceptional future donor females. Their remarkable phenotype and genotype combine to create a pair of females with incredible potential, and though parting with them is difficult, we are excited for their future contributions to the breed.
Our 3-in-1 units (Lots 7–31) feature cows bred to some of the industry’s leading sires, paired with calves sired by our new bulls, Gilman’s All In 6K and Cirlick Gilman’s Dream Easy 71F. Each lot has been carefully selected to provide long-term value, and we’re particularly excited about Lots 7, 18, 23, and 26, which we believe will be an excellent foundation for anyone looking to take their production system to the next level.
ACCESS TO GAME-CHANGING GENETICS
For those seeking to further elevate their herd, Lots 31 and beyond offer exclusive access to semen and embryos from some of the most influential genetics in the Shorthorn breed today. These game-changing genetics represent the future of the industry and will be highly sought after by serious breeders.
PRE-SALE PREPARATIONS AND VIEWING OPPORTUNITIES
All females will be pregnancy-tested by our vet, Dr. Joanna Bacon, one week prior to the sale, with results available on our supplementary sheet, accessible through our website or Auctions Plus. We want buyers to feel confident in their decisions, and this is just one of the many ways we ensure transparency and accuracy.
Our family looks forward to welcoming you to the sale. The females will be on display on February 21st, as well as on March 1st and 2nd. Private inspections can also be arranged for those who prefer a more personalized viewing experience.
We’re excited to share these exceptional animals with you and can’t wait to see how these genetics will shape the future of your breeding program.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
VISITOR HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
All sale Females have been screened for temperament and are quiet to handle under normal circumstances, however there are inherent risks associated with cattle handling.
VISITORS ENTER THE CATTLE PENS AT THEIR OWN RISK CHILDREN MUST NOT ENTER THE YARDS.
People entering the yards are at risk of injury. Be especially alert for bulls fighting, we do not expect the Females to be aggressive with humans, but Sale Day places extraordinary pressure on them. Remember, even the quietest bull is in fact an unpredictable animal.
Do not crowd the bulls or loiter inside the pens. We cannot cover every example of the dangers of cattle handling so please use your common sense and be always alert. Please call on any Nutrien agents for an escort through the Females if required.
All persons who attend the sale do so at their own risk and the vendor assumes no liability, legal or otherwise, for any accidents which may occur.

UNDERSTANDING EPDs
CALVING EASE DIRECT (CE-D)
Reported as the percentage of extra unassisted births in first calving heifers, relative to the average. CE-D is relative to the direct Calving Ease of the animal. Higher values are more favourable.
CALVING EASE MATERNAL (CE-M)
Reported as the percentage of extra unassisted births in first calving heifers, relative to the average. CE-M is relative to the Calving Ease of the daughters of the animal. Higher values are more favourable.
MILK
Reported as pounds of weaning weight of progeny from the animals daughters, relative to the average. Predicts the difference in maternal production of daughters relative to milk production and mothering. Values are relative to the environment of the production system. Low input environments should be very conscious of introducing too much milk due to the increased nutrient requirements that it can place on cows.
MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT
Reported as pounds of weaning weight of progeny from the animals daughters, relative to the average. This is a measure of weaning weight differences relative to the combined effects of growth and milk. Breeders who are not looking to change milk production should consider Total Maternal as the most relevant EPD for maternal weaning weights. Higher values are more favourable.
STAYABILITY (STAY)
Reported as the differences in percentage of a sire ’ s offspring that are predicted to still be in the herd at 6 years of age… given that they calved at 2, relative to the average. Stayability is a measure of reproductive longevity. Higher values are more favourable.
DOCILITY
Reported as the percentage of progeny, relative to the average, that will record a score of docile. Higher values are more favourable.
BIRTH WEIGHT
Reported in pounds of birth weight relative to the average. When selecting bulls to use on heifers, breeders should also focus on the Calving Ease EPD as Birthweight is already used in the Calving Ease EPD calculation.
WEANING WEIGHT – ADJUSTED TO 205 DAYS
Reported in pounds of weaning weight of direct progeny, relative to the average. Higher values are usually more favourable dependant on its relationship with birthweight.
YEARLING WEIGHT – ADJUSTED TO 365 DAYS
Reported in pounds of yearling weight of direct progeny, relative to the average. Higher values are usually more favourable dependant on its relationship with birthweight.
CARCASE EPD’S – ADJUSTED TO 475 DAYS OF AGE
CARCASE WEIGHT
Reported as pounds of Carcase Weight relative to the average. Higher values are usually more favourable, however this is relevant to each producers target martet.
RIB EYE AREA
Reported as square inches relative to the average. Higher values are usually more favourable. FAT Reported as inches of back fat relative to the average. Higher values are usually more favourable, however this is requires a balance between adequate doing ability in daughters and carcase fat thresholds for target markets.
YIELD GRADE
Reported as expected differences in progeny average USDA Yield Grade scores. Yield Grade is used to improve the yield potential of progeny and may seem a strange value for Australian animals. Whilst Australian animals will never receive a USDA graded Yield Grade score, they will also never receive an actual Retail Beef Yield % value either. However, US Shorthorns (including progeny of Australian sires used in the US) are USDA graded each year and so the pedigree linkages provide linkage to actual USDA Yield Grade values. Lower values are usually more favourable, however because of the negative correlations between fat and yield it is important to maintain some balance in the selection.
MARBLE SCORE
Reported as the differences in actual carcase marble scores relative to the average.This is different to IMF% which is used as an indicator trait in Marble Score. Higher values are more favourable.
ALL PURPOSE $INDEX – API
Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’ s where $ Indexes come in. Through well conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ Indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’ s overall impact on your bottom line.
ALL PURPOSE INDEX (API):
Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put onto feed and marketed for both quality grade and yield.
IGS EPD’ s are used for direct comparisons, not just across the same breed within different countries, but across all breeds and all countries in IGS. That means that the EPD’ s for a Shorthorn bull in Australia can be directly compared to the EPD’ s for a Simmental bull in Canada or the EPD’ s for a Red Angus bull in America.
Whilst the IGS EPD’ s can be directly compared acsross all IGS recorded animals, the same can not be said for percentiles. Percentile bands for Shorthorns in Australia only rank each Australian Shorthorn against other Australian Shorthorn cattle.
To make this process as uncomplicated as possible, we also print the EPD’ s with a Rank % value.
The Rank % value lists the percentile rank for every EPD and every animal.
TABLE TO GO HERE
In the above table, the animal has a CE-D EPD of +11. Without having a copy of the percentile band it is impossible to know where +11 sits relevant to the other Shorthorns in Australia. However, the Rank % value tells
be lower numerically. Accuracy refers to the amount a reported EPD can possibly change as more data is added. EPD values with higher accuracy result in less possible change for the value over time. More accurate accuracies better represent the amount of possible change for each EPD.
Table 1 demonstrates the relationship between possible change and traditional and BIF accuracy calculations using a genetic variance of 100.
As the table shows, as BIF accuracy increases by 10%, there is a corresponding decrease in possible change of 10%.
The table also gives a guide to the relationship between traditional accuracy and BIF accuracy at different levels.
A non-parent animal with a BIF accuracy of 0.2 (20%) is equivalent to a traditional accuracy of 0.6 (60%) in this table.
The important thing to remember is that although accuracies are lower than traditional accuracies, it doesn’t mean that the EPD value is less accurate, just that the calculation has changed. It also doesn ’t suggest that one calculation is “ good” and the other “bad” , they are just two different ways of solving the same problem.
