ASCOT RUM 888 (P) (04/01/00) is by Abernethy Morgan and was shown on his mother as a calf in 2000, as a Junior in 2001 and a Senior in 2002. Rum won many Championships along the way. He is a very well muscled and balanced bull and is now one of our predominant sires. One of his early bull calves Ascot Bundy was shown in 2005 from Sydney to Mackay with wins all the way and in 2006 was a successful senior bull winning Grand Champion Bull at Beef 2006, the Brisbane Exhibition and local shows. Bundy was sold at our Sept Sale’06 for a record price of $27,000 to Rudi Palinkas. A lot of Rum semen has been marketed into South America and South Africa with positive feedback. This year, Rum has also sired our lead bull, Ascot O.P., and he will be selling as Lot 1. Also 2 other registered bulls. ASCOT RUM 888
ASCOT 1012 BREAKAWAY (P) (06/01/01) is by Abernethy Morgan (the sire of Ascot Rum) out of a Neimen Bear 1 cow and is a bull we kept for our own use. He has tremendous muscle pattern with a lot of length and has good overall structure. He is a bull that holds his condition well through the dry times. He has 3 herd bulls this year. STRATHGYLE WRANGLER (P) (05/12/00) was purchased at the Gracemere Sale in 2003 for $16,000 (2nd top price on the day). He was a bull we had noticed for a couple of years around the shows and thought his general outlook was very good with plenty of bone length fleshing and a good coat colour. His pedigree gives us a complete new line of genetics and his calves are looking good. This year sees his first bulls being offered for sale and all have great weight for age and are showing a lot of content out of the Coograli O’Riley females which themselves are big cows. We have 3 registered bulls being offered including Ascot Levi who comes in as Lot 3. Also 2 herd bulls.

ASCOT O.R. 844 (P) (5/11/98) is by Coograli O’Riley out of a Neimen Patrick cow and has been retained for stud duties because we feel he has a lot to add to our breeding programs. He is a bull with a lot of scale, a great temperament, a tidy sheath and a desirable smooth skin type. All the shows he attended saw him being placed second to Neimen Zorba. His females are proving to be good breeders. He is represented by 4 herd bulls. ASCOT O.R. 844
ASHBY KEPPEL (P) (24/09/00) was the top priced bull at the Rocky Sales in 2003 at $17000. He showed a lot of character and correctness and had a very tidy sheath. His weight for age and coat type was excellent. These new bloodlines give us an absolute out cross. He is well represented by Lot 2 Ascot Victor who is structurally very sound with a great nature. Other bulls to be offered are another calf registered bull and 4 herd bulls. ASHBY KEPPEL
COOGRALI O’RILEY (S) (3/6/93) was purchased privately in 96 for his upstanding character, length and overall fleshing. He grew into a big bull with good manners and his high content is shown in his offspring. His females have grown into beautiful big cows and their calves by lower content bulls have developed well. O’Riley has produced a lot of top bulls over the last 10 years including Brother Jock who was awarded Grand Champion Braford at Beef 2003 and later sold at our annual sale to the Meek family for $16500. This year we have no bulls by O’Riley but his pedigree is well represented in many of the dams of the bulls.
