Ekka Simmental Success

Our 2016 show season has come to an end with the conclusion of the Ekka last week, and what a week it was.

  • Grand Champion Bull
  • Junior Champion Bull
  • Senior Champion Bull
  • 1st Pair of Bulls
  • 1st Breeder Group
  • 1st Progeny Stakes

 

These are the major awards we achieved in the ring against one of the largest showing of Simmentals in the last 20 years. What is even more pleasing is that we had three entries in the 20-24 month old bull class, and we had three of the top four animals in a large class. It's this consistency of product that we strive for. To us it not about breeding one good bull it's having a paddock full of them.

JUNIOR AND GRAND CHAMPION BULL:
BILLA PARK POLL LETHAL WEAPON

At only nine months, Lethal Weapon took the top honours. He is one of the first calves sired by Billa Park High Impact (Reserve Senior Bull 2014) and has been marked as our next stud sire.

SENIOR CHAMPION BULL:
BILLA PARK KAKADU K90

At a tick over 21 months Kakadu entered the ring with a weight of 912kg. A free-moving son of Goldrush that has great depth and length of body with sire presence. "A no-holes bull" as commented by judge Andrew Raff.

Kakadu sells at the Roma Simmental and Simbrah sale on 9th September 2016 at Lot 4. Please visit the Auction Sales page for more info on Kakadu or any of his sale counterparts.
