Welcome
We are a family operation, devoted to producing high quality, grass-efficient Angus genetics.
Thank you for your interest in our breeding program. We’re excited to have 47 bulls in this catalogue for our upcoming online sale. They demonstrate what we strive for here at Trio Angus, which is to produce genetics that will perform in grass-based breeding systems.
These bulls have been 100% raised on grass. They’ve been grown out on native and improved pastures, moving on to pasture-cropped oats prior to the sale. In our minds, this is the best way to prepare bulls for a successful breeding life. Foraging keeps them mobile and eating grass instead of a grain is a winwin for semen quality and bull longevity.
This year we’ll have more two year old bulls on offer, with over a third of the draft being older bulls. The remainder of the bulls will be 18 months of age and represent some exciting new genetics. Whilst our breeding goals remain the same, our sale day plan has changed. This year our sale will be solely online. It will be a helmsman sale on AuctionsPlus. We feel this new format will offer some exciting advantages to our clients. It make comparing bulls
and prices easier and will also give people time to deliberate without the pressure of an auctioneer. We’re confident people will find this a better way to buy bulls.
With this new format comes new options for us as stud breeders too. It will let us customise our offering to better suit market demand.
We always want to keep progressing. We were one of the very first studs to adopt a video auction at our sale many years ago. It’s now time for us to keep moving forward and migrate to an online sale.
Our Bull Inspection Day will now become more valuable. It will be held on Monday 19 August (a few days before the online sale). It will be a great chance to look through the bulls and for us all to catch up. We’re more than happy to show people through the bulls at any other time as well.
All the information about our upcoming bull sale can be found in this catalogue, on our website, or please feel free to contact us if we can help in any way.

Online Helmsman Sale –––
The smarter way buy bulls
This year we are moving to an Online Only Bull Sale through AuctionsPlus. As people have become more familiar with buying livestock online, we feel it’s a natural progression that will create a win-win for our clients.
It’s easier
With the online helmsman sale all of the bulls are for sale at once. This lets you see what price every bull is on. You can then think about your options and bid accordingly. If you get out-priced on one, you can easily start bidding on another instead.
Less pressure
A helmsman sale gives buyers plenty of time to deliberate. The auction will run for approximately 30 minutes before the timer starts, so there’s plenty of time for you to think about and execute your buying plan. You also don’t need to worry about the pressure from an auctioneer.
Get the bull you want
The lot order of the bulls doesn’t impact you in a helmsman sale, unlike an open cry auction where you can get caught out waiting for a bull later in the sale. This means with a helmsman sale its easier to secure the bulls
HOW WILL IT WORK?
The 2024 Trio Angus Online Sale will run just like a normal Eastern States sale on AuctionsPlus.
Go to www.auctionsplus.com.au and ‘Connect to Bid’. All of the lots will come up at once with their current price and you can simply bid on the lots you choose. The sale will run for approximately 30 minutes, after which a countdown timer will begin. The sale will conclude when there are no further bids.
If you are new to bidding on AuctionsPlus please ensure you register 24 hours in advance of the sale.
If you have questions about the new sale format please just get in touch with Matt or Shelley.
The Trio temperament
Docility is a key focus of our breeding program. Working with quiet cattle not only makes the job safer and easier, but it also makes it a lot more enjoyable!
We genetically select for good temperaments.
We use low stress stock handling. This teaches the animals how to respond to pressure and allows them to be worked in a calm manner.
We expose our bulls to as much as possible to prepare them for their new homes.
Our grazing system
We’ve worked with grazing consultant, Dick Richardson, for eight years now. He’s taught us a lot about how to better plan our grazing to ensure we improve the soil health, plant growth and also animal performance.
It’s a continual learning process, but we now follow a modified version of the Venter-Drewers Grazing System. This is a type of cell grazing that incorporates ‘Priority’ and ‘Sabbath’ paddocks.
Bull preparation
Our sale bulls are 100% raised on grass. They’ve been grown out on native and improved pastures, moving on to pasture-cropped oats prior to the sale. In our minds, this is the best way to prepare bulls for a successful breeding life. Foraging keeps them mobile and eating grass instead of a grain is a win-win for semen quality and bull longevity.
Using EBV Percentiles –––
MAKING IT EASIER TO PICK THE RIGHT BULL
Selecting the right bull for your business needs to be as easy as possible. So we’ve incorporated percentiles into our catalogue as an extra tool to help you.
A percentile value allows you to see where an animal sits in the breed for each trait. This gives you more information than an EBV figure alone. Eg. If an animal sits in the 30th Percentile for 600D it means he’s in the Top 30% of the breed. Generally, the lower the percentile figure the better, except in the case of Mature Cow Weight where being the biggest isn’t always the best.
The 600D of this bull sits in the 30th Percentile, meaning he’s in the top 30% of the breed for this trait.
The IMF of this bull sits in the fifth Percentile, meaning he’s in the top 5% of the breed for this trait.

Five Steps for buying better heifer bulls
Want to buy a great heifer bull?
Follow these simple steps to pick the right bulls and bid with more confidence and less stress on sale day.
These tips will help you get the bull selection right for an improved calving, but good heifer management plays a key role. As a rule, genetics account for 40% and the environment accounts for the other 60%. At Trio Angus, we work hard to get the genetics right, it’s then up to you to control the environmental effects to the best of your ability. Ensuring your heifers are well grown by the end of the first trimester is vital.
Good genetics, combined with good management, is the key to a profitable and stress free calving season.
1
Look at the structure of the bull
The bull’s shoulders are an important aspect to check. Smooth shoulders promote an easy calving. The shoulders should be smooth against the rib cage. We find an easy way to assess this is to stand at the front of the bull and look at the top of his shoulder blades.
BULL A has less width at the top of the shoulder and at the point of the shoulder.
2
Assess the bull’s physical size
It’s important to think about the bull’s physical size. A heavy, mature bull may not be ideal for joining smaller heifers. We find yearling bulls work well over heifers, as they are similar size and reduce the risk of injury.
3
Look at the Birth Weight EBV
The Birth Weight EBV reflects the weight of the calf at birth, so it makes sense that a lighter calf is preferred. This means a lower Birth Weight EBV should be selected. Currently the breed average Birth Weight EBV is +4.1, so we suggest selecting a birth weight at or below this figure.
BULL A has the best Birth Weight EBV for calving ease (lower figure).
Note: Calving Ease EBVs are also a great tool, however most sale bulls do not have an EBV of high enough accuracy to be useful.
4 Look at the Gestation Length
EBV
The Gestation Length EBV is the number of days from conception to birth. Calves that are born a few days early are smaller. A negative Gestation Length EBV is ideal. Currently the breed average for Gestation Length EBV is -4.8, so any figure below this is good.
BULL A has the best Gestation Length EBV for calving ease (lower figure).
5 Take note of the pedigree
A bull’s pedigree can give an indication of how reliable his calving ease will be. Stacking multiple generations of calving ease provides more reliability, meaning less chance of a ‘throwback’ to larger calves. Look in each bull’s ‘Comments’ in the catalogue for insights.

This bull certainly ticks those boxes. He’s easy-keeping with a lovely soft hair type and high Rib and Rump Fat EBVs to match. His pedigree is top notch – his dam breeds exceptionally well, producing two top priced bulls in previous sales.

In stud breeding, consistency is king. This bull has it in spades with P4 as his dam. She has a standout calf every single year without fail. Her last bull calf was the top price in 2021, selling for $23,000. This bull has the same potential. He’s well put together, with a bit more frame and a big EMA.
Typical of the Qalcine sons – well-balanced, plenty of volume and good, slick hair type. One of the largest scrotal measurements of all the sale bulls and a high Scrotal Size EBV to match – a good indication of his genetic merit for important fertility traits. It is also associated with improved female fertility and daughters that cycle earlier – a win-win. 4

Another Command son who’s very similar to the previous lot. He’s deep-sided and very well muscled. The width over his topline is impressive and this is reflected in his EMA EBV being in the top of the breed. This bull is the last natural calf out of one of our donors, J22. Her last flush of seven bulls were pea’s in a pod and averaged $15,000.
Trio Command T165#
Traits Observed: 200WT,600WT
Trio Qalcine T200SV
This bull has always carried his condition well. He easily lays down fat and always has a slick coat and soft skin. This comes from his dams side of the pedigree, which goes back to Reality 839 – one of the greats in the breed. On paper this bull offers a very high Rib and Rump Fat EBV, along with calving ease credentials. He’s certainly an exciting prospect for anyone chasing grass efficient genetics.
T200 is a bull that we have a lot of time for. He’s always been a standout and we love that he’s so well balanced with both muscling and softness. He’s moderately framed and from an excellent maternal line. His dam has already bred us two stud sires, Trio Moe S133 who sells as Lot 15, and Trio Ten Mile R120 who has 8 sons selling in the sale. You can’t ask a cow to breed much better than that.

There are only two Chiltern Park Moe sons in the sale. The Moe sons were very popular last year and for good reason. They’re deepbodied with a soft hair type, yet still have plenty of width when you stand behind them. This bull is showing all the same attributes.
S133 is a rising three year old sire we retained as a yearling. We wanted to add some more Moe genetics to our program. Used for consecutive Spring and Autumn joinings, he hasn’t missed a beat. He has maintained condition, has exceptional feet and a fantastic temperament. His dam has bred us another stud sire – Trio Ten Mile, she is also the dam of Lot 8 in this sale. 15

S A V BIRTHSTONE 8258SV
DAM TRIO KIWI L27# TRIO KIWI J10#
A bull that can offer both calving ease and some added muscle. He’s already showing his potential with a good, strong topline and plenty of muscle shape through his hindquarter. This added performance comes from his dam L27, she’s an older cow whose progeny are always moderate with plenty of shape.
This is a bull that will suit breeders looking to add extra growth to their calves. On paper this bull has very high 200, 400 & 600 Day Weight, along with a heavy Carcase Weight. His progeny should be larger framed and a bit later maturing.
A bull that’s going to keep getting better and better. His MGS is Ascot Lion Heart, a sire whose progeny have impeccable feet and temperaments. This bull is no different. He also has one of the highest $A Index’s of all the bulls in the sale, indicating he has a good balance of EBVs for those running a self replacing herd.
