North east Victorian Angus stud, Witherswood, will offer sons of Millah Murrah Kingdom K35 at the on-property sale on March 20.
Witherswood is home to Australia’s most expensive Angus bull, Millah Murrah Kingdom K35, purchased for $150,000 in September 2015.
Also purchased at the same auction by the Witherswood consortium was Millah Murrah Klooney K42 for $80,000, the fifth highest ever recorded for an Australian Angus bull at the time.
The upcoming sale will include 12 sons of Kingdom and 14 sons of Klooney.
John Woodruff, founder and owner of Witherswood Angus, said Kingdom has been in use at Witherswood for three joining seasons, and his body length, width, depth, sound structure, and docile nature made him a favourite with all visitors.
“Kingdom and Klooney are developing into industry leading sires, and this sale presents a great opportunity to buy into the Witherswood method of success, and purchase a son of Kingdom or Klooney, or from one of our other quality bulls,” he said.
The onsite property bull sale will see Witherswood offer 72 bulls, ranging from around 18-20 months old.
Ian Peake, Stud Manager at Witherswood, said sires represented in the year’s draft included Millah Murrah Kingdom, Ascot Hallmark and Millah Murrah Jackpot.
“Millah Murrah Klooney, MAR Innovation, EF Compliment, Matauri Reality and Braveheart of Stern are also represented, and are more moderately framed with extra thickness,” he said.
The sale will be held on Tuesday, 20th March 2018, at 1pm at the Witherswood farm, 1185 Glenrowan Boweya Road, Taminick via Glenrowan.
