Teaming up with Angus Australia, joining the “Sire Bench Marking Program”

The Angus Sire Benchmarking Program (ASBP) is a major initiative of Angus Australia with support from Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and industry partners such as Vetoquinol, Rangers Valley Feedlot and John Dee Abattoir.

The objectives of the ASBP are:

1. Generate progeny test data on modern Angus bulls, particularly for hard to measure traits such as feed efficiency, abattoir carcase measurement, meat quality attributes & female reproduction.
2. Generate data for the validation & refinement of the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE).
3. Build a comprehensive phenotype and genotype database on Australian Angus for genomic technology validation, research and development.

We have dedicated 230 of our cows to the program to aid in the overall genetic improvment of the breed.
