Leading this year’s sale draft is a run of eight Millah Murrah Rembrandt R48 sons (rising 19 months of age on Sale Day). Rembrandt was selected on his traditional type and depth of pedigree. Consistent with his industry legacy, these Rembrandt sons are sound footed, docile and easy fleshing with strong heads. We are equally pleased with his daughters and so have confidence that these bulls will themselves, in turn, produce quality females for you.
Following on is a run of four, impeccably bred rising 23 month old bulls. Embryo calves - the result of flushing our donor matron Ayrvale Perfection P21 to proven sires Clunie Range Legend L348 and Te Mania Emperor E343. All four possess Perfection P21’s hallmark softness, length and sound structure.
It is worth noting the depth of proven carcass performance in the pedigree of Perfection P21, an EF Compliment daughter out of a Tuwharetoa Regent D145 daughter - $34,500 Pathfinder Regent K554 who herself is out of Eaglehawk Jedda B32, the dam of breed legend Ayrvale Bartel E7. Stepping back through Perfection P21’s maternal lineage, generation by generation we consistently find breed leading IMF and carcass EBVs. It’s no wonder these traits have been transmitted to all four of these bulls. If you are seeking to lift the fats and marbling traits of your herd, look no further.
I must take this opportunity to emphasise that when you purchase a Tooraweenah bull, you are investing in an animal that hides nothing. He has received zero supplementary feeding. How he presents is a direct result of the prevailing natural grazing conditions on “Moorambilla”.
We’re presently pulling through a lean winter here in Coonamble, where up until recently we’ve had minimal rainfall over the prior four months. Throughout this period the bulls have been grazing on dry summer feed and so with the recent welcome rain and warmer days ahead we anticipate that their do-ability will become increasingly apparent.
With regards health checks, all bulls are fully vaccinated and have passed their physical test performed by NorthWest Vets.
Please feel free to contact me with any queries. Open Day is from 10am on Monday September 8th and I hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Michael Leonard

Bulls have been tested negative for Pestivirus, Vaccinated with Pestiguard, Vibrovax, Ultravac 7 in 1 and Bovilis MH + IBR.
The bulls have been screened for temperament and are considered docile, however there are always risks associated with handling cattle. Visitors enter the bull pens at their own risk. Children must not enter the bull pens. The vendor or agents will be pleased to escort visitors through the bulls if required.
Rebates available to outside agents, conditions apply.
Vendor will arrange delivery of bulls.
We recommend that buyers insure their bull(s) for full cover, including transport, on the fall of the hammer. Tooraweenah takes no responsibility for death or injury to a bull after it leaves our front gate.
The vendor will transfer ownership of the bull to the purchaser on the Angus Australia database.

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations.
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).
An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).
EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.
TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).
For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20
kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals recorded with Angus Australia. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:
• the breed average EBV
• the percentile bands table
The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes.
For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.
An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.
The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.
EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.
EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.

Genetic differences in rear leg structure when viewed from the side (angle at front of the hock).
Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall net profitability in the majority of commercial, self replacing, grass and grain finishing beef production systems.
The $A-L index is similar to the $A index but is modelled on a production system where feed is surplus to requirements for the majority of the year, or the cost of supplying additional feed when animal feed requirements increase is low.
While the $A aims to maintain mature cow weight, the $A-L does not aim to limit the increase in mature cow weight as there is minimal cost incurred if the feed maintenance requirements of the female breeding herd increase as a result of selection decisions.
Higher EBVs indicate fewer calving difficulties in 2 year old heifers.
