It’s our pleasure to welcome you all to the 2025 Southcote Bull Sale. We are proud to present another exciting lineup of bulls ready to make a real impact in Australian beef production.
At Southcote, our focus has always been on delivering genetics that drive profitability, adaptability, and long-term performance. That’s why we proudly back Shorthorns and Shorthorn-cross cattle. In today’s market, they offer a highly competitive edge — combining maternal strength, carcass quality, feed efficiency and docility, all traits that translate into more kilograms, better returns, and easier management onfarm.
Shorthorns have proven time and again that they are a progressive and profitable choice for the modern Australian cattle enterprise. In our own operation we are
Each of these bulls has been selected with one goal in mind: to produce the kind of progeny that adds value to your bottom line.
In 2025, we are proud to continue embracing genomic technology as a cornerstone of our breeding decisions. Genomics gives buyers greater confidence — delivering deeper insight into the genetic potential of each bull offered today. It means you can invest with more precision, knowing you’re selecting for traits that matter fertility, feed conversion, marbling, and more.
Our satellite herd program continues to develop with over 500 females AI’d to our benchmark sires. These bulls included Gilman’s All in 6k, Gilman’s Dream Easy 71F and Southcote Undiscovered U220. The subsequent progeny will provide carcass data back into the IGS system. This allows you as the commercial producer to buy progeny with complete confidence of the expected

SOUTHCOTE SHORTHORNS 2024 BULL SALE
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.
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.
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 you instantly that +11 for CE-D places the animal in the 16th percentile or in the top 16% of the Shorthorn breed in Australia.
Rank % is designed to give you instant access to know where each EPD sits relative to the Shorthorn breed in Australia. So for most breeders, the Rank % value will be more important than the EPD value itself.
