We welcome everyone to our 6th Annual Bull Bale. We must say this year’s bull sale has come around extremely quickly, following on from our successful ram sale on 23rd October 2025. Last year was one of the better years for farming we can remember with an average to above rainfall season throughout the growing season. This has resulted in full dams and extra dry feed to finish the season, which is something we have not seen for quite some time.
The cattle market has finally turned around in Western Australia and we are so excited to see our clients receive such fantastic prices for their calves through the saleyard and direct to different markets.
2025 was an exceptionally successful year for our herd highlighting our genetics across Australia. We were extremely fortunate to win the Most Successful Charolais Exhibitor, Best Maintained Team and Senior Champion Charolais Female at Sydney Royal Show. In Perth we continued our success with a clean sweep in the interbreed competitions winning Interbreed Junior Champion Bull and Heifer, and Interbreed Senior Champion Female, the Breeder’s Group of Three and Interbreed Grand Champion Beef Pair with our Charolais Team.
Our Angus had another successful showing, receiving Grand Champion Female and Supreme Exhibit at Perth Royal Show for our 5th consecutive year as well as the Grand Champion Bull.
We are always so thankful to our team of helpers across the country who help make this all happen year after year.
We would like to congratulate the Kelly family from Victoria on their amazing show campaign with Venturon Brigette V101, winning Supreme Charolais Exhibit at the 2025 Adelaide Royal Show.
Harris was honoured to be invited to judge at the Stratford A&P Royal Show in New Zealand and while there he was able to visit Premier Cattle to view calves sired by our Murray Grey bull Venturon Rectify R1. Excitingly, Rectify also had calves born in Europe in 2025.
The Canadian semen rights in Venturon The Stig T42 have been sold to Johnson Charolais, and we look forward to seeing his progeny in the coming year.
This year we are excited to offer five elite show heifer prospects for the first time. With the 2026 Charolais World Congress being held in Australia, we are offering these heifers halter broken and ready for you to show. We will also offer a 5% discount to any youth member of the Charolais Society of Australia, off the purchase price of these females.
Through our extensive ET and AI programs and sourcing the best genetics from across the world, each year our bulls continue to evolve and improve. This year we are extremely proud of the evenness of the bulls and believe the bulls present fresh and ready to work. They are run in large breed contemporary groups and like anything, the cream rises to the top and those are the bulls that are selected for our sale team.
Please note that in this catalogue all of the pictures of the bulls were taken 7-8 weeks before the sale with minimal supplementary feeding so we strongly recommend you take the time to come out and view the bulls or check out the up to date videos that will be available on AuctionsPlus and our website in early February thanks to the team at Five Star Creative Promotions.
We wish you a safe, healthy and prosperous 2026 and we look forward to it hopefully being the best season yet. Thank you again for choosing VL as your source of genetics and if you require any more information, please get in touch.

The bulls have not been worked by horses.
• Health and Safety of Visitors
All of the bulls within the sale have undertaken a strict temperament selection process. The bulls are quiet to handle under conditions they are used to in their groups. Sale day poses a range of new things to the bulls that they may not be accustomed with so please take all respect when viewing the bulls. Please be alert for the potential of bulls fighting within the pens. We do not by any means expect the bulls to be aggressive, but the new environment and large number of people can upset even the quietest of bulls. Please do not crowd the bulls or loiter inside the pens, and please use common sense within the pens when viewing them. Please do not hesitate to talk to any of our team or the sale staff if you require assistance in the bull pens, we will be more than happy to help. Visitors enter the sale pens at their own risk.

BREEDPLAN EBV EXPLANATIONS
EBVs
• An animal’s breeding value is its genetic merit, half of which will be passed on to its progeny. While we will never know the exact breeding value, for performance traits it is possible to make good estimates. These estimates are called Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs).
Accuracy
• Accuracy (%) is based on the amount of performance information available on the animal and its close relativesparticularly the number of progeny analysed. Accuracy is also based on the heritability of the trait and the genetic correlations with other recorded traits. Hence accuracy indicates the “confidence level” of the EBV. The higher the accuracy value the lower the likelihood of change in the animal’s EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or its relatives.
Traits
• Calving Ease EBVs (%) are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.
• CE % Dir = Direct Calving Ease - The EBV for direct calving ease indicates the influence of the sire on calving ease in purebred females calving at two years of age.
• CE % Daughters = Daughters’ Calving Ease - The EBV for daughters’ calving ease indicates how easily that sire’s daughters will calve at two years of age.
• Gestation Length EBV (days) is an estimate of the time from conception to the birth of the calf and is based on Artificial Insemination & hand mating records. Lower (negative) Gestation Length EBVs indicate shorter gestation length & therefore easier calving & increased growth after birth.
• Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of progeny, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.
• 200-Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth to early ages.
• 400-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for yearling weight.
• 600-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.
• Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is based on the cow weight when the calf is weighed for weaning, adjusted to 5 years of age. This EBV is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age and is an indicator of growth at later ages and potential feed maintenance requirements of the females in the breeding herd. Steer breeders wishing to grow animals out to a larger weight may also use the Mature Cow Weight EBV.
• Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EBV indicates the effect of the daughter’s milking ability, inherited from the sire, on the 200-day weights of her calves. For dams, it indicates her milking ability.
• Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is calculated from the circumference of the scrotum taken between 300 and 700 days of age and adjusted to 400 days of age. This EBV is an estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for scrotal size. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny and therefore selection for increased scrotal size will result in reduced age at calving of female progeny.
• Eye Muscle Area EBV (sq cm) is calculated from measurements from live animal ultrasound scans and from abattoir carcase data, adjusted to a standard 300 kg carcase. This EBV estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site of a 300 kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals. Sires with relatively higher Eye Muscle Area EBVs are expected to produce better muscled and higher percentage yielding progeny at the same carcase weight than will sires with lower Eye Muscle Area EBVs.
• Rib Fat and Rump Fat EBVs (mm) are calculated from measurements of subcutaneous fat depth at the 12/13 rib site and the P8 rump site (from live animal ultrasound scans and from abattoir carcases) and are adjusted to a standard 300 kg carcase. These EBVs are indicators of the genetic differences in fat distribution on a standard 300 kg carcase. Sires with low, or negative, fat EBVs are expected to produce leaner progeny at any particular carcase weight than will sires with higher EBVs.
• Retail Beef Yield EBV (%) indicates genetic differences between animals for retail yield percentage in a standard 300 kg carcase. Sires with larger EBVs are expected to produce progeny with higher yielding carcases.
•Intramuscular Fat EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of intramuscular fat (marbling) at the 12/13th rib site in a 300 kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.
Selection Indices
• Selection indices are calculated for market specifications. Index values are reported as EBVs, in units of relative earning capacity ($’s) for a given market. They reflect both the short-term profit generated by a sire through the sale of his progeny, and the longer-term profit generated by his daughters in a self-replacing cow herd. A selection index combines the EBVs with economic information (costs and returns) for specific market and production systems to rank animals based on relative profit values. Note that different types of animals can give similar profit values, so consideration should be given to both the index and the component EBVs when selecting animals for a particular production system. More information is available on selecting animals using a selection index. The Index values are derived using BreedObject technology. More information is available from the BreedObject web site.
IMPORTANT: EBV’s are breed specific and cannot be compared across breeds. Only compare Charolais to Charolais and Angus to Angus.
Alpine Real Deal R163
The best Angus bull we have ever used. We purchased Real Deal for $90,000 at the 2022 Alpine Autumn bull sale after we’d been on the lookout for a big numbered elite sire. He continues to impress us more and more every year. His sons are so easy doing, quiet and have a beautiful skin and hair type. We can honestly say Real Deal is an absolute foot improver. We eagerly await his first daughters to calve down in March.
Texas Earnan L612
We purchased a semen package in this elite sire when our good friends at DSK Angus, NSW purchased him for $56,000 from the Texas sale. His sons have far exceeded our expectations and really are just the type we like: big hipped with muscle and growth. We have found them to be born very easy and get up and grow. We have been impressed by his progeny at DSK and is a bull we will continue to use.
Brooklana Emperor Q23
What more can you say about this bull when you look at him than wow! We were so fortunate to be able to purchase Q23 off of the Cowley Family at Roseleigh Angus in SA when they had finished with him. We originally took interest in this bull due to his dam, the $190,000 Millah Murrah Pure M4. We only have a small set in this year’s sale as he staked his foot 10 days into spring joining but we will have a large offering in next year’s sale and they look great.
We kick off the 2026 bull sale draft with the individual who’s been at the top of his contemporary group all year! He’s got so much body and added rib dimension. This bull’s full brother sold in our 2024 sale as the pick yearling and we have recently seen his calves at Bendotti Angus, Pemberton, and wow what a set he has produced. The keeper heifers by him were incredible. Do not miss this bull!
The Real Deal V161
Before we purchased Coonamble L319 in partnership with our family in the UK, our plan was to flush her to Real Deal with a dream to produce a bull just like this. V161 epitomises what we had hoped to achieve with this cross. He has the extra growth, horsepower and muscle from his dam and the refinement, structural correctness and carcase attributes of his sire. Our Real Deal daughters are looking amazing and we know the daughters V161 leaves will be as special as L319. V161 was sashed Grand Champion Angus bull at the 2025 Perth Royal Show and gained a lot of friends throughout the year on his campaign. Venturon will be retaining 200 doses of semen for in-herd use only.
A bull who has caught our attention every time we have gone into the paddock. He’s so refined through his front but has plenty of power and shape. His dam is our favourite Beast Mode female and every year raises a great one. V110’s full brother sold as a feature bull in last year’s sale to our long-term clients, Wingalup Grazing.
VENTURON Real Deal
The thickest of the Real Deal sons to sell this year. One of the absolute quietest bulls of the draft. His dam is from the best female-breeding flush we have ever done. This year we walked two sons of hers with the heifers, and she has joined our donor pen.

Another bull backed by maternal longevity. V34’s dam has stood the test of time in our program, going in calf every year and raising a top calf year-in, year-out. A bigger framed, slick-coated, smooth-made bull.
The first and only S Right Time bull we have in this year’s sale. Unfortunately, we only got the one bull calf through our AI program, but what a meat machine he is. Extra butt shape and thickness in this bull. We are really liking what our Realist N278 cows are doing, and being a heifer’s first calf we know his dam will have a big future.
PURCHASER: $
Earnan V8
Earnan V30 PV
Straight horsepower. One of Harris’s favourite bulls in the catalogue. The sire appeal in this bull and overall presence and carcase shape makes V8 a great all-rounder. The first of an incredible set of ET brothers. Rosebud Lass Q13 is an imported embryo from the great LLB herd in Canada.
UNDINE Z183 DXTZ183PV
V30 was pulled out of the contemporary group to be used. We love this bull’s extra performance and overall punch. Our clients love the Texas Earnan L612 sons and you can see why in V30. If heavy weaners off cows are your deal, don’t look past this bull.
TEXAS EARNAN L612 DXTL612PV TE MANIA BERKLEY B1 VTMB1PV
One of the bigger power bulls of the draft. V57 is going to add some grunt to his calves. Much similar to his ET brothers he is going to add power to any cow herd. PURCHASER: $
The more moderate brother of the four, V22 has so much thickness, depth of hindquarter and muscle with a strong spine. This bull’s dam, Rosebud Lass Q13, is quickly becoming one of our leading donors with 10 daughters in the herd.

V126 is another great Real Deal son out of one of the pick females from the T-drop. You’ll hear us talk all the time about how well our Weigh Up M5/Easy Decision daughters breed - we wish we had another 20 of them. Don’t let this bull slip by.
Sire:
The only Quarterback in this year’s sale and what a bull he is. A really quiet bull who is out of a great Maximus daughter. Extra shape and dimension in this bull.

Real Deal V222
We kick off the spring born sire prospects with another highlight bull. ET brother to Lot 2, he has been the heaviest in the spring-born contemporary all year and, just like his brother, he combines the best of both worlds between Coonamble L319 and Real Deal. If you miss V161, here’s your opportunity to add his ET brother.
Here come the Emperors. What a bull for the first Emperor Q23 son to be offered at VL. This bull’s dam, Diana R21, is one of our favourite cows in the herd and we are currently walking a son in our stud herd. V192 combines one of our best cows with the great Millah Murrah Prue M4 - maternal excellence at its finest.
Another big-time growth Real Deal son with a great data set. A bull who will add profit to any system. Backed by our original female line, ‘Stella’, who have bred some of the best cows in the herd.
Another powerful Emperor son from a Weigh Up M5/Easy Decision daughter. A lower birthweight Q23 son with a net feed intake (NFI) figure in the top 4% of the breed.
Power plus. This bull’s dam just knows how to breed great ones. Her son in last year’s sale was one of our top-priced bulls, and was a lead off bull in the spring group. Impeccable feet with great growth and extra power, making him an impressive cow bull option.
A younger Emperor Q23 son who is really hitting his straps. You saw Rosebud Lass Q13’s ET sons by Texas L612 in the sale and this guy is just another meat machine, but younger. She has done an amazing job for us, and we think through combining her imported female line with MM Prue M4 in this V218 bull, he will breed some great daughters.
An outcross option backed by one of the famous female lines in the breed. We recently toured the KO Angus stud in NSW and were absolutely blown away by Dream S86’s ET sisters and their progeny. S86 will join our donor program this year after producing some great calves.
36 VENTURON Real Deal V202
Sire:
An ET bred son of the Coonamble H251 donor we purchased in partnership with WD Land and Cattle, NSW. We feel this bull is a real great heifer mating option who is going to breed some great calves. His dam is Coonamble Hector’s full sister.
Real Deal V219
A really nice data set on this bull. His dam is an ET-bred female from one of our pick females out of the Islay herd we purchased from the Young Family. If you’re after a high-fat, easy-doing bull with great feet, V219 will tick a lot of boxes.
38 VENTURON Real Deal V217
Another really easy-doing Real Deal son out of a great Quarterback daughter. If you’re looking to add cover to your calves, V217 is in the top 1% of the breed for P8 fat and top 4% for rib fat. Heifer suitable.
LONGSHOT P354
A super-safe heifer mating sire with a tiny +1.8 EBV for birth. Another option to add extra cover to your calves. Backed by a great Resilient daughter of Islay Tango N6.
VENTURON Real Deal
A big growthy son of Real Deal out of a big-frame Chiltern Park Moe daughter from Islay. V186’s granddam and great granddams were two of John’s favourite cows when we purchased the herd.

Ascot Ramrod R104
We purchased Ramrod for $28,000 in the 2021 Ascot Sale as our pick yearling. We really like the maternal elements of his pedigree combining Ledger and Authority. He’s been such a great breeding piece for us being able to be used over a variety of types of females. His sons have been extremely popular in the bull pen and this year’s sons are standouts.
Venturon Showbiz 161S
We have been so impressed with the job Showbiz has done on his first set of calves. His ET sisters- Starstruck 157S and 172S are two of our leading donor females and are breeding the house down. We are really excited with his first set of daughters that will calve down in April.
HRJ Holy Water
One of our elite imported exclusive Canadian Ai sires. A bull who really added some extra softness while keeping the frame in them. His progeny have been born small and are super docile.
SVY Mayfield 30H
We have never been as impressed with an AI sires first calves like we have Mayfield. We really loved the extension of front he’s put into his calves with extra muscle shape while keeping them so soft. We will continue to heavily use Mayfield and his sons for next year’s sale are looking great.
41 VENTURON Uncle Kracker U258 (P)
Dam:
We kick the Charolais bulls off with a thump. U258 is packed with so much power and red meat. This is our donor, Hayley H1’s last natural calf. For those that follow our program know the amazing job she’s done breeding the previous sale topper and Grand Champion Charolais Bull at the Royal Adelaide Show, New Design. Then her female track record is up with the best including one of our best females, Lets Elope L20, Kayley and Mercedes M40. This is the only calf we got by Stamp Duty S42 due to a serious injury and we think he’s a great one.
A bull we thought long and hard about retaining due to the amazing females that make up Rizz’s pedigree. His dam is an ET daughter of the great Fernvale Chiffon and his sire is out of none other than the legend, SVY Starstruck 409B. This is the first son of Showbiz to sell and we love the job he is doing.

Dam:
The first of the Ramrods for our 2026 sale. His dam is a complete outcross female who has bred incredibly for us. We used V102 over females this year and we look forward to seeing what he does. Harris had planned to keep him but the senior management pulled rank and got a bit of payback on selling his favourites.
A true stud sire prospect. V79 is a bull we feel has a lot to offer the industry. A stylish bull with extra shape and presence, he has a sound data set and is backed by a square-made, perfectuddered female who has been admired by most who tour.

One of the most stylish Ramrod sons in the sale with his trademark softness. His mum is a beautiful soft, red-factor female with the added performance of the Hillary line and Fan Favourite.
A heifer’s first calf out of a daughter of one of our leading donors from the famed Palgrove herd. This same maternal line bred our Talladega bull who is doing a great job for us. One of the quietest bulls in the draft.
A thick-made, soft bull from a top-breeding Zeal female, Lily L15. We really can’t understand why the EBVs have crucified this bull and feel it doesn’t represent this quality commercial sire. Make sure you have this bull on your list if you want soft heavy weaners.
