Ongoing quality in Bonongo's 97th year
This year marks the 97th year of the Graham family successfully breeding Angus cattle in the South West Slopes of NSW, run by Bill and Shauna Graham and family. The Bongongo herd is comprised of 2000 stud and commercial females, a quality cow herd, and the important backbone to the proven Bongongo Angus genetics. Fertility traits and lower mature cow size have been the focus for many generations. This coupled with the early adoption of performance and DNA testing, as well as extensive AI and ET programs across the herd has enabled continual genetic gain. This in turn is seen in their clients’ herds.

Bongongo Angus is renowned for breeding Angus bulls for the commercial producer that are lower birthweight, negative gestation length, calving ease positive with early growth, muscling and marbling and a quiet temperament to match. The bulls are run under commercial conditions in large contemporary groups, resulting in lasting power and purchaser confidence that these bulls will be suited to your environment and ready to perform. Our annual Autumn on-property bull sale is on Monday 15th May to be held at “Riverview” and will be interfaced with Auctions Plus. In our upcoming sale we have some impressive sons by Australian sires including; Bongongo Be Quick Q227, KO Beast Mode P117 and Murdeduke Quarterback Q011.
Of note is sire Bongongo Be Quick Q227 who is in the ST Genetics Beef Autumn 2023 catalogue. A top indexing bull in the Angus breed with top 2% EMA, top 1% IMF and structurally very sound. His progeny continues to stand out with performance data to match. An exciting one to watch.

Bongongo Angus also have a Spring bull sale on Wednesday 27th September on property at Riverview and interfaced with Auctions Plus.
