~ Fifth Annual Bull Sale - 14th March, 2024 at 1pm ~ 80 HBR Angus Bulls to go under the hammer

Exciting opportunities await beef producers at this year’s Bowman Performance Genetics Bull Sale, at Neerim South, on Thursday, 14th of March, 2024.

“By Cattlemen, for Cattlemen”, captures the true purpose of Bowman Performance Genetics’ seedstock production. Stud Prinicpal and seventh generation farmer, Glenn Bowman, has been breeding bulls for thirty years, complementing his family’s commercial operation at ‘The Ridge’, Rosedale. He believes in sourcing and developing highly profitable genetics, to produce a market-focused product.

The balanced approach adopted by Mr. Bowman - incorporating science, whilst producing fit, sound bulls - is resonating within the market. Interest continues to grow with major players and industry leaders from large commercial operations, with in excess of 120 bulls sold annually.

This year’s top-priced bull, along with several from the draft, were sold to South Australian operation, Princess Royal Station, run by the Rowe family. Situated North of the Burra on the vast open plans, the 28,000 hectare business was looking to source bulls with significant breed-plan performance data, whilst not being over-prepared.

“2024’s sale draft will raise the bar to an even higher level,” said Mr. Bowman. Gippsland’s largest sire line-up achieves an increasing Angus Breeding Dollar Index Value, whilst adding thickness and carcass content. The first sons of Millah Murrah Nectar N334, Sitz Intuition (USA), Banquet Quarter Pounder Q252 and Landfall Blackstone Q1171 will be offered here in Gippsland. Added to this powerfull mix, will be the sons of Murdeduke Quarterback Q011, Millah Murrah Paratrooper P15, Baldridge 38 Special (USA) and Musgrave 316 Exclusive (USA).

Generations of cattlemenship are backed by the latest science, incorporating genomic profiles on the entire female herd. Professional breeders require current and accurate breeding information to drive business performance, and they are reassured animals are parent verified. “If you’re buying a bull without genomic testing, how do you know what you’re buying?”, Mr. Bowman asks. “It’s a significant investment, but genomic testing can highlight ever aspect of that bull’s breeding - from calving traits, to growth and lucrative carcass qualities".”

80 bulls will be on sale at ‘Crystal Brook’, Neerim South, on Thursday, 14th of March, 2024.
