"We were impressed by his complete balance, his overall structural soundness, his muscularity and breed characteristics. He will be going directly into an AI centrewhere we will collect semen for extensive use in the Yugilbar herd this season." Rob said after the purchase of Warenda Sahara (P) for $80,000.

"I have always been impressed with the Manchee Ag steers ability to fit into the specified market. I have always been interested to see the productivity the Manchee Ag steers offer to a feedlotter, they are efficient and very consistent."

"Yamburgan Mittiebah 17th, at 18 months, was joined to 70 head of 2nd calving females with a 92.5% PTIC rate and the shorthorn calves have come through the drought better than the purebred Angus and Murray Grey cross calves."

Hamish Paton, Holbrook, NSW.

"In the past I have found it difficult to find a seedstock producer who is utilising the GeneSTAR technology and who can offer a consistent line of bulls, together with the other attributes I am looking for, which are weight for age, temperament and muscling. But I have certainly found it with the Warenda herd."

Ashley Adams, Blackall, Qld.

"We have used Yamburgan bulls for the last 10 years and have been very happy with their overall balanced performance. Our replacement females have improved over this time period and we are extremely happy with the premium price AMH feedlots are giving us for our steers."

Butch Davidson, Young, NSW.
