Marc Greening’s sale book comments summarize the bull: Poll Homo. Polled
Many are expecting me to say Redford Q287 is the greatest sire ever produced at Injemira but I will
leave that up to you to decide! What I can say is that he is absolutely faultless in terms of structure
and overall sire appeal. Back in October 2020 he scanned the biggest raw EMA ever for a ‘Spring’
drop bull and being a 2 y/o heifer’s first calf this is an achievement and demonstrates his quality and
performance. It is so pleasing to see a bull that when you go into the paddock he is the first you notice
then you look at his performance data and this backs it up. The performance data like the bull himself
is faultless right throughout. Calving ease, low birth, high growth, huge EMA, positive fats and big
marbling. It’s just unmatched for a bull with this quality phenotype and is recognised with all his $index
values being in the top 1% of the breed.

IMPORTED ANGUS
29AN2025
We have selected a diverse range of bulls which cover many
bases.
Stellar is certainly a favourite and top selling semen sire.
His calving ease with heifers and huge curve bending growth
are fabulous. Stellar transmits his awesome phenotype into
his progeny, inspection of heifers verify this and the massive
acceptance and sale price of Stellar sons at Sitz’s confirm this.
Command has been a go-to bull for many breeders. Sons in
Australia are well accepted at sales for their strong, wide topline,
muscle depth, soundness, great docility and calving ease EBVs.
Fireball is the rising star, calving reports on heifers are
excellent. The weaners are receiving rave reviews. We thank
breeders for the awesome feedback.
‘Thanks, Fireball’s calves are very impressive, better than I had
expected.’
‘My Fireball’s are the most consistant calf crop I have every had
in nearly 30 years. They are THICK!’
SITZ STELLAR 726D
Owned by Sitz Angus Ranch, MT; ABS Global, Inc., WI. ‘Best heifer calf here is a Fireball!’
Reports like this and add the EBVs, certainly a must consider
sire!
Patriarch is in the top few semen selling sires in the USA.
29AN1972 Patriarch was the massive must have phenotype bull when selling
at Tehama. The bull’s good look and grand structural assessment
combined with a great set of CE, good growth, punch and exciting

AUSTRALIAN ANGUS
29AN2116
The ABS Australia beef team is often asked, which bulls to use?
which bulls are ‘hot’?, what is new?
In pages 7 and 8 we highlight and update some sires that are
sure to interest many breeders.
New Ground, the $75,000 record price Tasmanian bull as the
photo suggests has developed into an outstanding Angus bull.
Calving reports from the field show New Ground progeny have
calved unassisted from Angus seedstock and commercial heifers.
Many breeders will repeat mating to heifers this season.
The first 41 sons sold at the Landfall 2021 sale to a top of
$36,000 and a fabulous average of $16,000. (The sale averaged
$11,583).
New Ground is now a proven bull, with near perfect EBVs and
phenotype to boot!
Paratrooper, the current record price Angus bull at $160,000
has performed simply beyond all expectations. Paratrooper
has been used far and wide, progeny are born unassisted from
LANDFALL NEW GROUND N90 heifers. The dimension, volume, mass and docility of the progeny
Owned by Absolute Angus and ABS Australia.
as weaners and yearlings is unsurpassed.
29AN2123 Paratrooper has eclipsed all semen sales records for a beef bull
of his age. The numerous calls and accolades for Paratrooper
progeny are suggesting he is a must use bull for many seasons to
come. Semen supply is very limited just now, but Paratrooper is
heading to the semen collection centre.
Keystone continues to make a large impression on the Angus
landscape. Few bulls can offer the calving ease and curve
bending growth. Keystone will add frame and length. Commercial
acceptance continues. At the 2021 Landfall Sale 23 Keystone
sons averaged $12,913 to be the second highest progeny group.
Kicking remains in the top few semen selling sires. Commercial
breeders love his platinum HCR performance, so many reports
on one FTAI round 65% to 75%. The calves are born easily from
heifers, then grow strongly to 400 and 600 days. Progeny look
brilliant and are super docile.
Quality Time and Queenslander are two new unproven
bulls to the ABS team. Both bulls have been highly admired, their
dams are superb. Their sire lines offer an outcross for ABS sire
lines.
