Upsall
Polled Shorthorns
Australian Influence
Broughton Park Thunder (P) a curvebender EBV bull has produced exciting calves at Upsall and Glenisla. He is a trait leader for birth weight and with figures of +10.9 for calving ease, figures of -1.6 for gastation length, eye muscle at +3.3. We are also delighted with
the growth of his calves.
He was a Durham Contributor sire in 2008. He was the No1 in the breed of the 2007 born bull calves for both Domestic and Export maternal indexes in the Summer and Autumn Group Breedplan analysis. Ken Trengrove of Broughton
Park says that a good number of breeders have used the bull through A.I. "I have
had nothing but positive feedback."
Neilson Job of the Royalla Stud in NSW said that Broughton Park Thunder cattle
are generally high performing cattle with frames to match.
When the Broughton Park Herd was sold last year to the Yamburgan Stud, Thunder
honoured a previous agreement and was sold to Laird Morgan of Arubial where they
were awaiting his calves when I made contact.
However Liz Manchee at Yamburgan said that Broughton Park Thunder daughters have grown into practical females with good udders. We hope to sell his first Upsall son at Stirling in February. |
