Eleven international, colonial and homebred sires feature in the annual sale, held at 1pm on May 12 at “Glenisa”, Glen Aplin, Queensland.

Vendors, Ced and Rowena Wise and family have been buoyed by client feedback and increased demand for their physical product due to the change of date at the 2016 sale.

Last year, bulls sold to areas of the tablelands between Glen Innes and Stanthorpe, all parts of the northern rivers of NSW and as far north as central Queensland.

Sires represented include new global introductions in the form of Sydgen Black Pearl 2006, S Chisum 6175, Sitz Upward 307R, Jindra Double Vision and Remitall H Rachis 21R.

These bulls are joined by outsourced introductions like DSK GDK Good Go G133, Raff Dynamite G156, DSK RR Feel Good F36 (AI, ET) and Booroomooka Hyperno H605 (AI) along with the homebred retaineeS, Glenisa Felix F017 (AI, ET) and Frederick F009 (AI, ET).

All on offer have been vaccinated with three day, blooded with three germ, five in one and vibrio. The entire team has been semen tested and soundness evaluated and tested Pestivirus negative.

The bull’s preparation is one of a silage diet for nearly three months. They have current Angus Group Breedplan figures, scan data including live weight, scrotal measurements.

Run and grown out on local harder country, the bull’s gut has been fully protected with a growing out period and they have been educated and handled and worked with dogs, horses and bikes.
