WELCOME TO THE 2023 VPC BULL SALE

As we roll into our 3rd sale we are excited about the quality of the bulls on offer. The season has been hard on the bulls with extreme wet last year to very dry but improving conditions this year. The tumble in the cattle market should correct itself soon and be accelerated as the season improves. The US market is achieving high prices and it stands to reason our market will follow as the backlog of frozen top end beef is reduced in the US.

Last year we employed James Walters as our Marketing Manager. James has a wealth of knowledge in stud cattle marketing and knows everyone in the business. It also allows clients to talk to James more freely about their programmes and how VPC bulls can assist. Please call him as needed.

Sustainability is the buzz word of the times. Our programme puts sustainability to the forefront. Firstly, in the intergenerational transition to the next generation of Broinowski’s to make sure the business has longevity. Secondly, to ensure the cattle themselves are run in a sustainable way. Using best practice in our handling and husbandry. Using the best genetics for our area, adding genetic gain each generation and not losing sight what a high-quality beef animal should look like. Phenotype and structure are at the forefront. Making sure the bulls have industry leading data is a bonus.

One of the Australia best cattle bull breeders told me make sure the structure and type of your bulls is right and then make sure the data is at the top and you capture everyone to you programme.

The Angus bulls are all pure Millah Murrah genetics. S097 (Lot 3) is among the best Angus bulls I have seen. The run of 6 Paratrooper bulls show that beautiful Angus muscle pattern, skin and type.

A feature of the sale are 7 yearling sons of Injemira Robert Redford including T058 who we had flagged to keep in our programme

These bulls are simply superb with exceptional data sets.

A super run of Endure sons and grandsons complete the catalogue as well as sons of Wirruna Promise, Pilot and Nick.

All Lots are Genomically tested. This allows Breedplan data to be as accurate as it can be. Birthweight is the number people often zero in on. Prior to genomics Breedplan would allow for more variance as new data comes in. Using genomics accelerates this process and gives a more accurate result. The bulls with higher birth can be easily managed. We don’t believe any bulls on sale will put pressure on calving. Q039 calves for example are all born very easily even with higher birth EBVs as they are very long and shaped correctly. On the other hand the catalogue is full of very easy calving bulls that suit both heifers and cows. Please talk to us about the bulls.

Any question you may have – please feel free to call or email at anytime.

We look forward to seeing you at “Mullamuddy Park” on August 18th , 2023.
