Anthony Pisa\u2019s deduction to breeding the very best from the very best will once again be on show this year.<\/p>\n
The Absolute Angus principal will have an impressive line-up of bulls on offer at his autumn sale on Wednesday 29 March.<\/p>\n
And he\u2019s already talking excitedly about the yearlings to be offered later this year in the spring.<\/p>\n
But first things first, and in his upcoming sale on-property at Thorpdale (Trafalgar South), West Gippsland, there will be \u201cstandout sons\u201d of sires including Landfall New Ground N90, Landfall Leonardo P145, Landfall Prominent P317 and Te Mania Prime P586.<\/p>\n
\u201cTe Mania Prime is an excellent bull for IMF (Intramuscular Fat), far? and for birth,\u201d Mr Pisa said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s very thick and phenotypically the best you can get \u2013 his progeny stands out and looks very much like their sire.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese will be the first sons of his we have offered.\u201d<\/p>\n
The $75,000 Landfall New Ground N90 also has some \u201coutstanding\u201d sons in the sale, proving why he was the top selling bull for ABS Genetics in the spring of 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has produced excellent progeny with data to match \u2013 phenotypically, structurally and feet wise, his sons all have it, plus his data is amazing,\u201d Mr Pisa said.<\/p>\n
The sons of another Landfall bull in Leonardo P145 have also caught the attention of Mr Pisa, with their tremendous thickness and length.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can put him over anything\u2026he is a sire that I am sure will grow to prominence in the breed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then there is Landfall Prominent P317 \u2013 another outstanding bull with good data \u2013 they are hard to find like him \u2013 the low birthweight and high fat.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s in the top 1 per cent of the breed for growth, docility and carcase, definitely a bull that stands up to top sires.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are looking for growth, they want to turn vealers off quicker at six to seven months \u2013 he just produces calves that have everything you would require as a commercial producer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last autumn, Absolute offered 52 bulls, selling 50 at auction to a top of $22,000 twice and averaging $9980.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s autumn sale, the third for Absolute, will be integrated with AuctionsPlus and kick off on-property at 1pm, with inspections from 11am.<\/p>\n
There will be 70 bulls catalogued for sale in March, giving bidders extra opportunities to secure the right sire for their breeding operation.<\/p>\n
Clients new and old are welcome to check out the bulls on Saturday 18 March, when Absolute Angus will be open for inspections.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward showcasing some of the genetics we have to offer,\u201d Mr Pisa said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe focus remains on low birth, high growth, high EMA and IMF and positive fats \u2013 I think those are the key things for commercial breeders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking further ahead the excitement is growing at Absolute for the spring sale, where the first sons of two new Milwillah sires the stud purchased outright will be offered.<\/p>\n
\u201cMilwillah Rimfire is an outstanding bull with calving ease like I have never seen before \u2013 I calved down 70 heifers without a hitch,\u201d Mr Pisa said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Milwillah Shadow is a very structurally sound and phenotypically good bull, with fantastic growth and a data set that is very good.\u201d<\/p>\n
