Diamantina 20th is an exceptionally potent sire with his calves easy to tell. They are very long, thick with good hindquarters and are very quiet. He is the best Quilpie son we have bred and he has an exceptionaly smooth front, is quiet and packed with muscle. At 24 months of age he weighed 886 kg, had an EMA of 123 sq/cm, fat of 12/8 mm and a scrotal size of 41cm. We look forward to his daughters calving in a couple of years as his dam, Jill 145th, is a lovely feminine female with good udder and milking ability. A bull we think highly of. |

The Grove Oscar A748 (P) (ET) (AI) (APX) |
|
Sire: The Grove Lockyer X857 (P) (APX)
Dam: The Grove Dale 39th (P) (SFA)
Oscar was purchased at the 2007 The Grove bull sale for $55,000, for a half posession and marketing share, valuing the bull at $110,000. After the loss of his sire, The Grove Lockyer, two days prior to The Grove's sale, the decision to purchase Oscar was made. His sire is a bull that bred excellent quality cattle, no matter what cow he was joined to. Oscar's dam was the leading matron at The Grove for many years and produced 36 calves both naturally and by ET before her death at 16 years. At purchase he weighed 1010 kg, had an EMA of 141 sq/cm, fat of 12/7 mm and a scrotal size of 40 cm. The cows joined to Oscar have started to calve and the first 20 calves on the ground have an average birthweight of 43kg.

Sire: The Grove Informant
Dam: The Grove Millicent
Lockyer was purchased in half possession share with The Grove in 2004. He was Grand Champion Shorthorn Bull at the 2005 Brisbane Royal Show. This is the first draft of sale bulls to be presented and the draft is dominated by 22 sons that offer a consistently high rate of GeneSTAR marbling. Lockyer has bred both bulls and females of very high quality. He is a bull that has a tremendous hindquarter and width through the thurle and pins and passes this on to his progeny. He has a very high EMA EBV of +7.0 which is very evident when you look at his top line. He has bred very consistently producing cattle that are structurally sound, quiet and with high growth and this has meshed well with our low birth weight cows. He is a trait leader for gestation length, 400 and 600 day growth, scrotal size and carcass weight (backing up our opinion of his weight for age), EMA and IMF%.

The Grove New Legend Z058 (P) (ET) (AI) (APX) |
|
Sire: JR Legend 78H (IMP USA) (P) (APX)
Dam: The Grove Dale W699 (P)
New Legend was purchased for his structrual soundness and muscling. He was one of the youngest bulls in The Grove's draft of bulls and weighed 785 kg at 20 months, with an EMA of 120 sq/cm, fat of 8/6 mm and a scrotal size of 39 cm, and we paid $18,000. He has grown into a moderate framed bull with a very quiet temperament, very good feet and legs, good length and muscle. His first drop of calves were stand outs. They had all the qualities of their sire with particually good muscle expression. We have used him successfilly over heifers and there were 58 calves in his first drop. He is in the Durham trial in 2008. |

Weebollabolla Theodore T85 (P) |
|
Sire: Weebollabolla Quilpie
Dam: Weebollabolla Nindethana
Theodore has been used extensively as an AI sire and his real benefits are flowing through now in his females as a lot of sale bulls are out of his daughters. We are quite excited about the combination of Theodore and Lockyer. Theodore has very balanced figures being a trait leader for gestation length and birth weight and offers big EMA’s, carcass weight and high IMF. He is considered to be one of the best bulls used at Yamburgan.
