PROVEN FEMALES

Originally based on proven Te Mania bloodlines, Yerwal Estate Angus females are matched with sires from high performing proven maternal lines. Longevity and performance are essential attributes for Yerwal Estate females as they need to deliver quality and consistent sale bulls year after year. 

Since the studs inception in 1998, original bloodlines have diversified and expanded through the use of influential AI sires and imported embryos.

This thorough genetic selection has developed a strong, proven, and consistent female breeding herd, with the capacity to produce high performing and structurally correct Angus sale bulls.

PERFORMANCE ANGUS SIRES

Renegade

Our exciting new sire, Renegade, is the son of the CAN$200,000 HF Alcatraz. Renegade is backed by generations of highly productive, sound made females, with his dam being amongst the best Discovery daughters in the breed. His H drop grand dam is still extremely sound and raising big calves. On inspection, Renegade displays outstanding body shape and overall dimension for a calving ease sire, while also maintaining that beautiful laid-in shoulder and calving ease front end that is of great importance. One of his strongest features is his feet and leg setup. 

PERFORMANCE ANGUS SIRES

Texas Quinella

We proudly introduce our new stud sire, Texas Quinella. Purchased for $48,000 from the Texas Bull Sale, we believe he will kick our stud operation into overdrive. He is quite a unique individual, and has impeccable feet and leg structure. He is as long as a train, with smooth made shoulders, strong top line, great hindquarter, and fantastic temperament to boot – but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. It’s his parentage where it gets really exciting.

His sire is the well-proven Baldridge Beast Mode, who is renowned for calving ease, high growth, and excellent feet. His dam is none other than Texas Undine H647, who just happens to be the dam of the record breaking Texas Iceman, sold for $225,000, and Texas Powerplay, sold to Kelly Angus in 2020 for $108,000.

His breedplan is also quite exceptional: + 7.8 for calving ease direct (excellent for heifers) through to top 1% of the breed for all growth traits finishing at +164 for 600 days; add this to his great carcass and structural data makes an extremely complete sire prospect. We eagerly await the chance to offer a large line of his sons in the future.

ANGUS EMBRYO TRANSFER & AI PROGRAMS

At Yerwal Estate we aim to source the best Angus genetics that perform in both data and phenotype to complement our females, in order to breed the best Angus bulls that combine both traits in one package.

Regan artificially inseminates (AI) and pregnancy-tests all females on the farm, which enables us to monitor our female fertility and performance strictly. In addition to AI, we in trust our genetic program with Gary from Genesis Embryo Transfer (ET) to ensure the elite females of our herd have progeny that can be available annually to more clientele.  

Regan is very passionate about his cattle and ensures only the best Angus sires are used within the herd. In 2022, he secured Poss Deadwood semen for use in our ET program, and we now look forward to having calves on the ground in years to come. In addition to this elite American sire, we have been using Texas Iceman with calves now on the ground, and with many more in years to come.
