Wattlewood Angus has been ‘ticking all the boxes’ for more than 25 years, breeding quality stud Angus bulls and females for the breeder that wants hassle-free cattle.
Stud principals John and Fiona Glover are passionate about the genetics they use and the cattle they select to represent their stud, that are out working for their clients and bull buyers.
Ms Glover, an AI technician, is “like a kid in a candy store” when it comes to selecting the next wave of sires for the stud.
Some of the sires that are represented in this year’s sale on Thursday, March 14 include the $280,000 Texas Iceman R725, Rennylea Prospect P550, Sitz Stellar and Alpine Muzza M245.
The Glovers say this year’s line-up of bulls are oozing quality and are backed by the stud’s three-year guarantee and are ready to work, undergoing BVDV testing, semen testing and a host of vaccinations to protect the buyers’ investments with the ‘Immune Ready Guidelines’ being fulfilled.
“We are very excited about the bulls on offer this year and our confidence has been boosted from all the lovely feedback we received at and after our annual Beef Week open day and other bull viewing visits we have had in the lead-up to the sale.”
Not only have the bulls been HD50K genotyped to give a solid indication of how the bulls’ genetics will play a part in the next generation, the naturally quiet bulls have also had a couple of halter lessons which make them even easier to own.
In the lead-up to the sale, Wattlewood welcomes inquiries and prospective buyers can make a time to view the bulls by calling 0416 216 951. Sale catalogues are also available on request.
Or arrive from 1pm on sale day to inspect the bulls and enjoy the light snacks and refreshments, before the sale fires-up at 4pm. If you can’t make it on the day, the sale will also be interfaced with AuctionsPlus.
