The Alpine Autumn Bull Sale to be held at the Alpine Selling Complex on Tuesday 5 March 2019, will offer 96 HBR and APR registered bulls for sale by auction. The sale team reflects our continued commitment to breeding quiet, sound, structurally correct bulls with a focus on birth to growth spread and carcase traits. Our breeding philosophy centres around selecting animals we feel can contribute significantly to our herd’s phenotype by blending these high performance sires with our strong and consistent female base. Our strong relationship with the WA Coonamble Angus program continues. In our 2018 sales sons of Coonamble Hector, Junior and Elevator sold very well with an Elevator son topping our Autumn sale and a grandson topping our Spring sale. This year we have another first class lineup with 10 Hector and 7 Junior sons as well as 7 by Coonamble H176, an exceptional Elevator son that stands out for the growth and body his progeny exhibit. Coonamble Hector has been a revelation as a sire and is amassing an imposing track record. His first progeny to be sold in 2017 included the Australian record setting $190,000 Millah Murrah Prue M4, the highest selling animal in the history of Australian Angus. Also sold that year by Hector was Millah Murrah’s second top price bull at $40,000 while another topped the Coonamble sale at $26,000. Last year was not much different with the highlight being the $35,000 top priced bull at the 2018 Spring Texas Angus Bull sale. There is a strong representation of low birth, high performance sires with outstanding Birth to Growth credentials such as Plattemere Weigh Up, V A R Discovery and Texas Mount K2. The type of bulls that can moderate birth without sacrificing kilograms at weaning and after. Texas Mount K2 sired over half of the 91 bulls presented by Glenoch Angus QLD last Spring. All 44 sons sold to an impressive $9943 average. We are very fortunate to have first class back up bulls working cows at Alpine which are AI sires in their own right. Karoo Knockout, Sterita Park Black Jack and Bowmont Jackpot are all marketed by major AI companies and performed very well through 2018. Knockout sold over 1,000 units of semen alone last Spring. His first progeny to sell topped the embryo calf section at the Spring 2018 Witherswood dispersal with a 4 month old heifer making $8,000. Black Jack sons sold to $18,000 last year. An added bonus was a son bred by Alpine prepared and exhibited by Rutherglen High School school was the grand champion carcase at the 2018 Royal Melbourne show. Jackpot sons met popular demand in 2018 with his best result being at the Hazeldean Spring Bull sale where he sired three out of the top four priced bulls. Hazeldean High Roller is another quality herd bull that has seen use in Angus stud herds. A son topped our 2017 Spring Sale. He is a higher marbling sire that excels in maternal performance and has breed leading docility and structure EBVs. Our herd expansion in 2015 that followed the purchase of additional genetics from the Welcome Swallow Dispersal has allowed us to deliver on our promise of delivering our clients Volume, Value and Velocity. All Alpine Sales held since Spring 2015 have delivered a 100% clearance. Experience of past Alpine sales shows that purchasers can be assured that they will get great value and choice and strong after sales support as needed when purchasing at the 2019 Alpine Autumn Bull Sale. As a lead up to the sale we invite you to preview the sale bulls at the Alpine Angus field day on Wednesday 13 February 2019.

Field Day:Strategies for managing changing seasonal conditions
Jess Oats, a Year 11 student at Rutherglen High School, swept the pool at the Royal Melbourne Show Carcase Competition in September with a steer donated by Alpine Angus.
Jess’s steer took out first prize in the Export Carcase division, the Marcus Oldham College trophy for Champion School Carcase and the Grand Champion Carcase award.
Alpine Angus could not be prouder of Jess’s effort.
There were 89 steers in the export division and 195 entries overall. The winning steer Alpine Black Jack M247, a purebred Angus steer sired by Sterita Park Black Jack SPLJ231, scooped the pool.
Jess took delivery of M247 in May and was respon-sible for the breaking in and preparation of M247 at the school for the four months leading up to the show.
Out of the 89 entries in the export division, M247’s carcase achieved maximum points for P8 & Rib Fat depth, Eye Muscle and Yield. Points awarded for eating quality were in the top handful of steers.
M247’s MSA marble score was a standout of the competition. In this section this steer graded 820 compared to an average of 420 for the 89 export carcases assessed. The next best grading of 770 was the only one in the 700s! Roughly a quarter of these entries were Angus and they averaged 530 compared to M247s 820.
‘M247 was a cracking animal. He was structurally fantastic and you could see he would carry the carcase really well. We are grateful that a local stud like Alpine Angus give back to the industry and support the development of young people in agri-culture,’ says Ron Webb, Rutherglen High School Agriculture teacher.
The sire of M247, Sterita Park Black Jack is an Alpine Angus owned herdbull, with its semen mar-keted by ABS Australia. Alpine selected Black Jack for his strong body type and conformation, strong maternal pedigree and excellent eye muscle. The carcase result continued a good run for Black Jack with his sons selling well at the Alpine Spring Bull Sale and he also produced the $18,000 second top priced bull at the Rennylea Autumn Bull Sale.
Chris Oswin Manager of Alpine Angus ‘Black Jack excels at producing high yielding, large eye muscle cattle so it made sense to provide Jess with a Black Jack steer for this year’s Royal Melbourne Show carcase event. M247 sure hit the mark scoring maximum points for EMA and yield, but the thing that really stood out to me in the scoring was just how much better than the rest this steer scored under the MSA system for Marbling.’
Alpine Angus congratulates Jess, her teachers and school for the work they put in in preparation for this prestigious competition.
