AI Sires
We firmly believe that the use of a well considered AI program is essential for providing genetic gain, specific matings and Breedplan linkages. Approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the breeding females are AI'd annually. Although we have used many AI sires over the years, those used recently are shown below.
Lindsay Starbright S117 (LSY S117)
Starbright was purchased in 2005. He was a colossal bull displaying exceptional thickness and muscularity. His EMA EBV is the 7th highest sire in the history of Murray Greys. His calves have sold to $14,500 and semen has been exported to Canada and America. We continue to be impressed with Starbright's progeny. They have calved easily and exhibited excellent growth and muscle content. To date his 16 Wallawong bull progeny have sold to $14,500 and averaged over $5000 (total clearance at auction). Since his death in 2007, we have contined to use semen to further his bloodlines within the herd. Semen available for sale. More Information and photographs click here
Monterey Sensational (GJB Y17)
Sensational was used in our 2008 and 2009 AI programs. He is a very correct bull who produces very uniform progeny. We inspected sensational as a yearling and again as a 5 year old. Both times we were very impressed with him and look forward to offering Sensational sired bulls at our 2012 annual sale. More Information and photographs click here
Bundaleer True Blue (JOS A68)
True Blue semen will be used in our Spring 2010 AI and our 2011 programs. His physical data is very impressive and his female line has provided bulls with extra power and presence. We will be using True Blue over select silver females and to gain a comparision against our home bred sires Quarterback and Ripsnorter.
Southend Braveheart (WMM B832)
Braveheart semen will be used in our Spring 2010 AI and our 2011 programs. His physical appearance is impressive and his progeny are consistently above average, with a commercially desirable phenotype. He is a bull of excellent body depth, with a mid maturity pattern and high degree of muscularity.
Lindsay West (LSY W13)
West was a massive, well muscled, powerful bull. He is one of the best mature sons of Starbright S117 that we have seen. He has been used in our AI program in 2007-2009. His calves are similar in type to Starbright S117 offspring, being growthy and well muscled. More Information and photographs click here
Monterey Starlight (GJB R39)
Starlight is one of the true super sires of the breed. He has been used
extensively throughout Australia and his progeny have excelled in both
the show ring and the sale ring. He was a functional bull with an
exceptional hindquarter and above average performance data. He combines
growth with sound carcase EBVs and positive fat EBVs.
Lindsay Starbright Y47 (LSY Y47)
We viewed Y47 in 2005 and found him to be a large, structurally correct sire that possessed an impressive side profile. He is a sound son of Starbright S117, who is combining growth and a large EMA with the ability to lay down fat easily. More Information and photographs click here
