Mark Barnett interviews Rodger Pryce from Brooklana Angus, the owner of Millah Murrah Rocket Man and Millah Murrah Prue.

Mark had the opportunity to chat with Rodger enroute to Ben Nevis during the ABS Tour. Rodger shares a bit of his background, his career and journey in purchasing the most valuable bull and cow in the Angus breed.

We are talking to you about Barnett Rollo R5 today, one of our young sire prospects, which we're quite excited about, and also 2 Semen Sires (Barnett Command Q6 and Barnett Dusty Q7) we have bred, and we compare them with some others in the industry.

We've got semen available on these bulls and we thought we would just compare them with the industry standard bearers.

So we've done what we call a ‘Dare to Compare’. The BarnettAngus Semen Sires with the bulls that have hit the headlines this year.

We've talked about the Donors, but today we're going to talk about the Sires.

The first one we're going to start off with is one that we all know about: Millah Murrah Paratrooper P15 broke records, quite some time ago, it seems, actually at $160,000. He’s a Compliment 8088 grandson.

Of course you can't go past Texas Iceman R725 and his mother, the Undine H647 cow. She has got a track record, which is hard to beat. Texas Iceman R725 is by the American sensation, POSS Maverick. POS Maverick sired a bull recently that was sold for almost a million bucks in the United States, which is not too shabby.

In this interview I had the pleasure of engaging with Harvey and Michael and get their views on the Dec 2nd offering on Elite Livestock.

Harvey visited the herd and viewed the recipient program about a month ago along with Peter Daniel (MD of GDL) and one of their long-time commercial clients – Mick Gibson.

Michael was the auctioneer who sold us a couple of our donor cows as well as officiating at the Texas Angus sale with Harvey when Texas Iceman – one of our feature mating sires – was sold for an Australian record price.

The two record smashing bulls of 2021 – Texas Iceman R725 and Millah Murrah Paratrooper P15 feature as sires of 40 sexed pregnancies offered by BarnettAngus on December 2nd (finishing at 12pm), on the Elite Livestock Auction platform (elitelivestockauctions.com.au).

Never has such a powerful genetic offering been made and it represents an opportunity to buy your next sire or foundation female knowing they will be among the top multi-trait leading genetics in the breed.

Millah Murrah Paratrooper P15 x Barnett Disco Girl N4

Two confirmed pregnancies are to sell on Dec 2nd via Elite Livestock at the Barnett Beef Pregnancy Sale.

The combo of Angus style, type and natural thickness makes this mating of Barnett Disco Girl N4 to Millah Murrah Paratrooper P15 very exciting.
