2023 Angus Australia Online Catalogue


Link to Angus Australia online catalogue: Click here


The online catalogue is a very powerful tool that will enable you to search for the right sire for your breeding program. Create or login to your AngusTech account and you will be able to see 100 animals at a time. Search by sire lines, or EBV highest to lowest eg: if you are looking for bulls with an IMF of between 2.5 and 3.5 you will be able to find them. Alternatively if you look closely at INDEXES eg DOM (Domestic Index) you can search the highest indexing bull in the catalogue. Remember it is important to look behind the index and ensure it fits your breeding program. Sam is happy to talk you through how to do this or go to the Angus Society Education area on their website to learn more click here

Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation

Each year before our annual on property bull sale, Leisa conducts a ACV Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation on each bull listed in the bull sale catalogue. This test includes:

• A physical examination,

• Examination of the reproductive organs,

• Semen collection and assessment of gross motility,

• Semen morphology – with samples being assessed by an accredited morphologist at the Australian Veterinary Semen Morphology.

Leisa is always on call for any other cattle husbandry requirements when required and we greatly appreciate her skill and availability. Click here for more details.
