Sires

Gyranda Proverb P678 (PP)

Gyranda Proverb (PP) was purchased for $16000 in 2019. He is a very dark, slick coated bull, although he is not a big bull, he has tremendous thickness and width with a very neat sheath and from a sire and grand sire line that is well known for ease of calving. We think he will fit into our markets in the West, homozygous polled, early maturing, moderate frame and explosive early growth and sire appeal.

Rosevale Ontario P604 (PP)

Rosevale Ontario (PP) appealed to us for his very correct structure, homozygous poll, docile nature, sire appeal, neat sheath, softness and moderate frame. Even though his figures are a little behind we feel certain he will make an impact in our quest to add more doing ability, quietness and softness into our herd.

Rosevale Maverick M102 (P)

A son of Jethro (P) who has DTC ebv of -19.3 in top 1% so potentially one of the most fertile bulls going around in a package that every herd should have. Polled, sheath improver, moderate frame, quiet, slick coat, good muscle, good fat cover, morphology of 95% and is a thick compact bull that will meet most markets.

Rosevale Cobb n Co C364 (P)

Purchased at the Rosevale sale 2008 for $17000 Cobb N Co is a very dark, extremely well muscled polled bull with large testes. His weight & SS EBV’s place him in the top 1% for the breed but still comes in an early maturing thick set package. We feel Cobb N Co can be put over any type of female to produce a thick polled, tropical animal for us.

Doo Hickey is a very dark sleek coated poll scured bull purchased from the Greenup stud in 09.

Gyranda Kenny K592 (P)

Gyranda Kenny (P) was purchased in 2015 for $13000. He is the bull we were hoping to find, moderate frame, very thick and wide, very good sheath & testes, good slick coat and very quiet.

As Kenny will not be used here until July 2016 he has been left at Gyranda to mate their A-1 cows until Xmas, an indication of the regard they have of him. He is the bull we feel we can put over any cow we have to get a worthwhile progeny that fits our criteria.

Rosevale Monty M 482 (PP)

Rosevale Monty (PP) was purchased in 2017 for $42000 and is a PP bull meaning 98% of his progeny will be polled, a trait we were looking for, alongside of 85% morphology semen and a perfect sheath. Monty is a slightly later maturing bull as his figures suggest but comes in a package that suits us, dark red colour and shiny coat ,lots of breed character ,perfect feet and legs, and is very thick with the ability to finish or to lay down fat. It Was nerve wracking to spend that sort of money but we are fully confident that he is the bull to take us to a consistent high level we want to be at.

Greenup Mandate M330 (P)

Greenup Mandate (P) Purchased for $13500 in 2017 is a son of Dangerfield Tycoon (P),a bull with tremendous constitution, temperament and muscle and we feel he has passed it onto Mandate. His sheath is a little larger than we like but it comes with looseness all over (breed character) that we think will enhance our herd if we mate him to our extreme navelled cows plus having perfect feet, lots of muscle, doing ability and 85% morphology he will be at home in the Biara herd.

Rosevale Nautical N20 (PP)

Nautical was purchased for $34000 in 2018 from Rosevale to upgrade our sire battery to (PP) bulls. He is a very deceptively heavy bull, very well balanced, soft, very quiet, dark red , with a sheath to improve any herd and is a bull who is always fat ,ie is a very good doing bull as evidenced by his fat figures.. All this in a moderate frame with EBV’s to back up his raw data and very good fertility data. Looking forward to progeny from this impressive tropical young sire.

Gyranda Newton was purchased in partnership with the Rosevale stud and will do season every 6 months on both sides the country. Newton is a very heavy well, muscled (PP) bull who is very quiet ,dark red in colour, very correct confirmation. He has a combination of muscle, fats, DTC of -9.1 (fertility) and 96% morphology, that we don’t see very often in our travels so we couldn’t let the opportunity go to purchase this (PP) bull.

Biara 1118 (PP)

Biara 1118 (PP) is the stand out of the 2021 drop, a bull we just had to keep. He is a big bodied bull with lots of volume, dark red sleek coat, heaps of sire appeal and quiet nature. As you can see by his figures he is in the top 1% for 200,400,600 day and mature weight, top 5% for EMA and carcase wt. He has a morphology result of 89%, is a PP and is a well balanced animal.

Rosevale Newport R988 (PP)

Rosevale Newport was purchased from the Rosevale stud in 2021 and was the top priced commercial bull at $28000. He has all the attributes that we want, dark red, long, wide, heavy and deep bodied with extra finishing ability and fleshing. He is a PP with a very good sheath and structurally very correct. We believe he is the bull to produce early maturing, heavy, growthy steers with that extra finishing ability that all our clients, both north and south are looking for.

Rosevale Templeton T222 (P)

Rosevale Templeton (P) was purchased in 2023 and is the first non (PP) bull we have purchased for quite a while but we felt that we couldn’t pass up this all round bull. T222 (P) is the picture-perfect type of bull we would like to reproduce to pass onto our clients to breed steers ,yearlings or very fertile females. For starters he is a dark sleek coated bull with a very good sheath, is very well balanced and just flows from nose to tail, testament to fantastic confirmation. His growth is well above average, fertility right up there and carcass and fats just as good, this results in his indexes being in the top 5% of the breed. Being only a (P) bull doesn’t worry us as we have been using (PP) for many years now so there will be many (PP) heifers in our herd now and still many to come. Rosevale Templeton (P) will be used for 2 mating’s at Biara, our normal mating and a second over the Rosevale cows and their offspring we purchased a few years ago

Rosevale Swagger S374 (PP)

Rosevale Swagger S374 (PP) is a bull we got to use due to a swap with Rosevale. He is a bull with a very fine sleek tropical coat, tidy sheath and fantastic EMA and fat data that are in the top 5% for the breed. EMA and fats don’t often come together but Swagger combines it along with above average growth, good DTC and is extremely quiet. We were very impressed so we asked if we could purchase him and reluctantly Rosevale agreed. We feel, with his figures, we could use him as a heifer bull, breed females or produce good steers so he looks to be a very versatile bull.

Rosevale S202 (PP)

He appealed to us as a dark coated, good sheathed, quiet young bull that we could use over heifers. His fertility data is very good and has great sire appeal. His first drop of calves look very good and we have had no trouble at all in calving heifers down at 2years of age. He has adequate growth and is growing into a fair lump of a bull, but with his mobility we are sure he will still cover yearling heifers
