High Spa Bullion
High Spa Bullion 6801 (Imp USA)
Bullion was selected by us in 1996 for the outstanding performance and quality of his ancestors in the USA as well as on structural correctness and temperament. His is a story of both tragedy and triumph – after settling in to his new home in Daylesford, he and his first calves (with an average birth weight of 35.7 kgs) were among the main attractions at our Beef Week Open day early in 1998. On February 8th 1998, Bullion was the unfortunate victim of a lightening strike after an electrical storm, a very sad ending for such a magnificent animal. His progeny however went on to excel, and continue to do so, in both the commercial world and in the show ring. In 1999 his semen was sold to a South African breeder who came across his photo and was so impressed with his appearance he visited us on farm to view his progeny. Bullion continues to feature in our herd because of his growth potential, style and structure, feed efficiency and kind nature. The mark of a truly great sire is in the continued excellence of his progeny.
Limited semen is available at $70 per straw, 20 straws or more $55 a straw.
