After the success of last year’s female sale where we had the breeds top price female of 2024 and buyers from 8 countries, we are delighted to offer a super group of young females for our 5th production sale on the 18th October. We are going to change the format this year after our hugely successful 1st online bull sale in February where we had breed record prices and averages and positive feedback from our customers.
So, this year our female sale will be online only and run from 3pm Thursday 16th October and close 3pm Saturday 18th October. The auction will run on a racehorse style close; this is when the entire sale stays open in extended bidding. This type of sale allows you as the bidder to change to a different lot within the sale, irrespective of where it is in the catalogue. The sale closes following a period of one minute of no further bids after the closing time of 3pm.
We are delighted that Harrison & Hetherington will conduct the sale again this year, with online bidding available through Marteye.
It’s a great time to be a beef farmer with high prices in every aspect of the industry and with a shortage of beef worldwide the future looks bright.
With ever increasing costs in farming, we need functional females who are first and foremost structurally correct and fertile, while still having breed character on a moderate balanced frame that can do the work for you and can thrive on a low input system. We feel this group of females offers you some of the best not only in our herd but the breed.
Again, they will be brought out on grass only and have been out wintered, the heifers will only have seen 1kg of grain from 7-11 months of age.
Each year we see significant progress in lowering the amount of input our cattle need, this has allowed us to cut down concentrate costs on our bulls and now cutting out creep in calves while not sacrificing weight and quality. This can only be done by sourcing the top genetics from around the world, for the traits that made the breed famous and we feel these cattle have this in abundance, ease of calving and fleshing, ability to turn poor forage into beef and of course high marbling.
We are really pleased with the feedback from customers regarding how the females have performed in their new herds from the first three sales, with the past 2 years Miss Europe coming from our Sale females in the Angus Breeders World Show and we feel the females in this year’s sale can take you in any direction you wish go.
Demand is growing for a more moderate framed, deeper fleshed animal, it’s the way the industry needs to go in the future to have a functional, profitable cow herd, so why wait when you can buy the future today.
A warm welcome awaits you if you wish to attend on Saturday 18th October to view the cattle prior to the sale concluding with food and refreshments available.
Visitors are always welcome and please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Augustus is full brother to all our original Annie’s and Netherton Archie who did so well not only for us and other breeders that 9 years after flushing Southland Awestruck one of the top TC Freedom daughters we’ve ever seen that we tracked her down in Texas to flush again to the original mating.

Blackbuddy has good growth and length and is out of a super donor female who was Galawater Angus’s pick of the herd, Grand dam was sold to Bryon O’Halloran and was an embryo brought in from the famous SAV Herd in America.

Our last Kracker daughter we have in the herd and what a cow she is from our SAV lines, she typifies everything we have come to expect from this family, moderate framed, deep bodied and full of thickness. Her dam was sold to Ireland and her maternal sister to Galawater Angus who also is the dam of HW Blackbuddy whose first calves at HW are just outstanding. One daughter retained, sons have been among our high sellers with her calf this year maybe the best to date. This is a female not to miss you all know what influence Kracker had in moving our herd to where it is today and add in these SAV greats like Net Worth, Harvester, Bismark and Brave then you have something really special here.

I know I will sound like a broken record but this is the type of cow that works for us and this sale really shows where we are at, moderate framed, depth, thickness with a super udder and still correct on feet and legs that know how to work, 5 year old and 4 calves these are the cows that pay the bills. This family traces back to Ranui in New Zealand and have had a huge impact in our herd from high sellers to show winners for Netherton and producing sires like Ranui W Impact and Netherton Royal Sovereign. Dam sold to Palmallet Angus and a much admired son sold to G Dunbar in this year’s bull sale.

It’s never easy selling these top cows but it’s our policy to sell them at 5-6 years of age. This one we might regret what a cow from performance to pedigree and a phenotype that we love, just a tank of a cow with her deep body but still retaining feminine look that we like. These Bannockburn daughters have had such an impact for us breeding many of our top cattle over the last few years. Dam was our lead of female of 2023 and was a daughter of our 2021 high selling female who sold for 9500gns to Glasnant Angus, a maternal brother sold to Fursdon Angus. W196 has proved to be an exceptional breeder her first daughter topped our 2023 sale at 13,000gns to Barningham Angus and went on to be voted Miss Europe 2023 in Angus Breeders World Show, her only son was our second highest selling private sale bull of his crop and we have retained her last daughter. It was no wonder W196 became a Donor for us producing very well and embryos can be found in several countries.

W201 just oozes femininity, she may well be moderate framed but she is a big breeder her 2 daughters retained will likely be the best of their years and her son was the highest selling bull of his crop. From a family that traces back to Coldstream in Canada and did so well at Blelack then add in the Netherton Fleur line that includes a 25,000 Winter National Cow Champion, a Royal Highland Champion and the first cow in the breed to sell for over 20,000 then this is a special cow here. Another top Donor for us who flushed well for us and again embryos sold to several countries. 10 embryos retained

A fairly new family for us and a unique chance to buy one of the foundation females from this line that produced the breed’s highest selling female from last year when HW Blacklass Z995 sold for 18,000gns to Angus House Farms Romania. This family which comes from Canada’s top carcass herd when we bought the pick of the 2014 born heifers at Cudlobe for $17,000 who happened to be the highest IMF female in the whole of Canada that year, then add in she is only one of two daughters of the high American performance sire Sydgen Enhance then you have something very special here. You can see that performance in her pedigree come through with 14 traits in the breeds 30%. W236 is a real meat machine but still retains a perfect udder, she has been a Donor cow for us last year and we have two daughters retained. 2 embryos retained.

This cow would be admired in any pasture around the world for her length, depth of body and easy fleshing and I’m sure we are going to hear more of her in the future. This high performance daughter of Bannockburn out of a full SAV embryo is just something special. Her dam sold to Galawater Angus and maternal sisters last year to Rull Angus (12,00gns) and Calfward Angus (4000gns). Two daughters are retained. Please note that she is safely in calf to HW Ernesto who is a full brother to Netherton Eclipse which sold for a breed record price of 65,600 this year, this could be something very special she is carrying.

These are just young females with lots of breeding in front of them, but look at how she has developed even though she has had 3 calves by her fourth birthday, these are the cows that pay the bills, and if they can thrive on our low input system them they will anywhere. Sired by Black Blizzard who has left us super females but that’s no surprise with his being a Millah Murrah Klooney son and out of the 9500gns Blackbird cow who was sired by Ranui W Impact from New Zealand, this family also produced Netherton Black Rain (Genus) and Netherton Black Lightning (Norbreck) two very popular Ai Sires. Dam sold to Fingask Angus and we have 3 daughters retained of X467.

Another super phenotype cow of moderate frame, depth, softness of flesh and lovely udder who had her third calf by her fourth birthday, these Black Blizzard daughters really catch the eye, and no need to worry about moo calls or cameras at calving time either. Dam sold to Ysgawen Angus and this cow line goes back several times to the legendary Cee Bar Favorite who has had such a huge impact in the breed from champions to high sellers from the 80’s until present day. Please note the great bulls also in this pedigree. One daughter retained and another sold to Germany in last year’s sale.

We sure are going to miss these Bannockburn daughters and here’s another one full of performance and still feminine, long and deep with a great udder. Dam sold to Hendy Angus and this family which goes back to MAC Angus have really left their mark in the herd, they know how to wean the good ones. Fertility is the only trait that matters when paying the bills and X535 calved at 22 months and has come forward every year, these are the cows you want that go unnoticed as they go about their business.

X560 may be a smaller framed female but she did calf at 20 months old the first time and still came forward with her second calf now that’s fertility that we at HW talk about. You have to admire her thickness and balance as she matures out. Sired by Millah Murrah Nugget who sold for $54,000 in 2018 for a then all breed’s record price for a yearling bull, known for his fleshing abilities and maternal qualities which you can see in X560. Her dam sold to Galawater Angus and is a full sister to the hugely successful Netherton Americano who sold to Genus ABS, this female line with Netherton Missie A114 (30,000gns), Netherton Annie H474 and Southland Awestruck in the pedigree just can’t fail not to breed the good ones. Flush mates of X560 include our Annie X557 our second high seller in 2022 when she sold for 6200gns to Barningham Angus and HW Apache who was retained as a herd sire before selling to Shanford Angus. X560 has been a Donor cow for us last year and we have two daughters retained. 3 embryo retained

Her dam sold to Ysgawen Angus and we have a daughter retained. She is in calf to HW Famous who sold for 30,000 this year to Ince Castle Angus and whose first calves are born unassisted and are looking very smart, he is a Rawburn Baltimore son out of HW Fleur W136 regarded by many as the top cow in the herd.

We have tried to retain as many Mr Equilibrium daughters as possible but we have been asked to put some in the sale and we’ve not just put any daughter up for sale but one of his top ones. You really have to love the phenotype of this heifer I wish my whole herd looked like her, moderate, deep bodied and full of thickness and with the super udder you are seeing on all Equilibrium daughters. Add in her top performance figures with 13 traits in the top 30% along with her pedigree stacked with the great ones who have not only shaped our herd but the breed worldwide then you have something special here. Dam we will flush this year and her grand-dam was sold to Ireland was described as maybe the best daughter of Boss. This family traces right back to our 2010 Royal Highland Champion. Due August/September to HW Blackbuddy Y722 and will be sold with calf at foot and open to go straight into a flush program as that’s where I think she belongs.

We have tried to breed the same type in our reds as our blacks of moderate frame and easy fleshing and we feel Red Louisiana is doing this as good as any red bull about. He is sired by the multiple Champion Bull Lazy MC Tradition and is the only son in the UK from him so offers a total outcross for all. Dam line goes back to Gannon Red Angus who we bought 6 females from to help us build up our red herd, A029’s dam is stacked with the best of Windy Gowl breeding and has many top bulls in the pedigree. This young heifer will make a real smart cow.

This real smart young heifer out of a Red Six Mile Grand Slam daughter of H483 shows all the qualities that make this family special.

This twin heifer is maybe a little bit more finer than the other red heifers but is stacked with the best outcross genetics in the UK. A pedigree of the who’s who in Canadian Red Angus with many sires who have produced show champions and high sellers, then add in SAV Net Worth then this makes this heifer something special genetic wise. Her dam is the only Razor daughter in the UK and has been a top donor for us.

Maybe the most admired and talked about female at Netherton in the last few years, she has been a stand out from day one and one of our top donors for the past couple of years. She is an original Annie out of Southland Awestruck who is one of the top TC Freedom daughter we have ever seen in our travels, such has been the impact she has had in the breed since we imported embryos close to 20 years ago, we went back to and tracked her down again in Texas and flushed her again to the original mating, embryos from this second mating have sold up to 2500 at auction. Sired by TC Grid Topper the high performance meat machine from America it’s no wonder the Annie’s have great performance data without sacrificing calving ease and W940 has 16 traits above breed average with 11 in the top 30% of the breed. Her first son sold to Harewood Farming Company and her daughter was the choice for Ince Castle Angus when we gave them the pick of the heifers earlier this year. This line had produced many Herd Sires for us. We have flushed successfully Annie over the last few years with embryos in several countries and we are flushing her most of the summer with IVF now while she runs with the bull to get as many different matings as possible before she sells. We have 28 embryos retained of which the buyer can have a choice of 3 along with Annie.

A real eye-catching cow full of flesh and thickness, maybe one of the top Fabulous daughters in the herd. Her dam was an embryo imported from Canada sired by the Legendary TLA Northern Samurai who dominated the breed in the UK in the 90’s and is regarded as one of the bulls that saved the breed and she has had recipts carrying embryos from her sell to 4000 in Ireland. A maternal sister to W950 sold for 5000 and went on to win numerous prizes at shows in the UK. This line which traces back to the great Knights Blackbird 9Y who can be found in the background of many top animals in the UK. One daughter retained and she is due later this year to HW Evolution Z825 which could be something special.

Her Male Calf NETHERTON
(UK542697501112), Born 12/08/2025 Sire HW EVOLUTION Z825 (ET) (UK546977303825)
Maybe the top daughter of HW Aranguez in the herd, she is full of breed character and flesh which you would expect from the Frances line. Arangeuz was the top son of Kracker out of the 7000gns Annie R488 who sold to Norbreck Genetics and was a very easy calving sire that we used. This female line is one of the most famous at Netherton and has consistently bred the show winners and high sellers for us W952’s grand dam was Female Champion at the Royal Highland Show. A daughter has been retained and her son sold for 6000 in our bull sale in February. Sold with an absolute cracking bull calf at foot Netherton Fantastic B112 sired by HW Evolution which is a herd sire in the making even at such a young age, a pair not to miss.

Sire NETHERTON KENOBI Y000 (542697501000)
This young cow with a pedigree full of all our who’s who of Champions when we were showing. If you are looking for a cow with more frame, then Missie is for you. A daughter of the much admired multi winning show heifer Missie P820 who was Reserve Junior Female Champion at the Royal Highland Show at just over 12 months of age and then went on to be a top donor for us as she knew how to breed the good ones, with daughters selling to 8000 and high selling sons to Genus (Machua), Greenacres Angus (Mr McLaren) and Luxemburg (Mattie) who was also placed in the Mr Europe Competition. Add in sired by fabulous who’s daughters have really bred well for us suiting our new herd sires well, but wait, if you thought it was good already Missie sells with a heifer calf at foot Netherton Missie B107 sired by Netherton Kenobi. We don’t sell many Missies and here you have a chance to buy two in one lot what an opportunity not to be missed. W953 is blind of a front teat but as you can see by her calf she has loads of milk to rear a good calf.

This cow was sold in our sale in 2023 where we described her as an Angus cow for the future with the whole package, phenotype feminine, top line, udder and depth of body, performance all but one trait above breed average and 5 calves by the time she is 6 years old, pedigree sired by Kracker and traces back to CEE BAR Favorite who was recognised as one of the world’s most influential females by the Angus Hall of Fame in America. Not much has changed. She stayed at HW like many of our customer’s females until transport could be arranged but as they have daughters now from Frances they have decided to sell her and keep the daughters.

Only Aberdeen-Angus GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs or INTERIM EBVs with Accuracy (Acc) can be validly compared between herds.
ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVS)
The EBV is the best estimate of an animal's genetic merit for that trait.
ACCURACY
An accuracy value (Acc) is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy the lower the likelihood of change in the animal's EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or its relatives.
CALVING EASE
Calving Ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.
DIR: Direct calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of its progeny. Using a bull in the Top 1% for CE direct (+7.0) is predicted to result in approximately 15% fewer assisted calvings in 2 year old heifers compared with using a bull in the Bottom 1% (-10.2). This range is predicted to be smaller in cows. Remember that the dam’s genetics and management are significant factors influencing calving ease in any mating.
DTRS: Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.
BIRTH AND FERTILITY
GL: Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth.
BWT: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, 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.
SS: Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny.
MILK: 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal's milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weight of their calves.
200: 200-Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth to early ages.
400: 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 dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for yearling weight.
600: 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 dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.
MWT: Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age. Smaller, or more moderate EBVs are generally more favourable.
CWT: Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of 650 days.
EMA: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals.
FAT: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.
RBY%: Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase size.
IMF%: Intra-muscular Fat Percent EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of intramuscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.
Indexes combine the EBVs with economic information for specific market and production systems to rank animals based on relative profit values.
The Angus Terminal index is aimed at a commercial herd using Angus bulls over dairy cross cows to breed steers and heifers to turn off at 16 months of age. All progeny are destined for slaughter and no replacement females are selected from within the herd. There is some emphasis on calving ease while finishing steers at around 600 kg live weight (330 kg carcase weight) using a pasture based production system.
Use this index in a commercial herd to produce progeny for slaughter. The index has moderate emphasis on easier calving (ie getting a live calf with minimal human interference) while producing calves that will then grow quickly to market specifications at around 16 months of age. The index is focused on slaughter animals and does not account for maternal traits and is therefore not suited to breeding replacement females.
If you are using smaller framed cows or heifers in your herd, then you should also put extra emphasis on a higher Calving Ease Direct EBV when selecting a sire using this index.
The Angus Self Replacing index is aimed at an Angus herd selecting replacement females from within the herd while breeding steers and excess heifers to turn off at 18 months of age. There is emphasis on calving ease and maternal traits while also looking to finish steers for slaughter at around 615 kg live weight (330 kg carcase weight) using a pasture based production system supplemented with extra rations during the finishing phase.
This Self Replacing index is also suitable to using Angus sires over mixed breed cows where replacement females are sourced from within the herd. There may be some hybrid vigour expressed in the progeny depending on the breed type of the cows used. Therefore you should consider placing extra emphasis on the Calving Ease EBVs (more positive) of the sire to allow for possible heavier birth weights of his calves due to hybrid vigour.
Use this index in both commercial and pedigree herds where you are balancing the requirements of selecting replacement females while also producing animals for slaughter.
The Aberdeen-Angus GROUP BREEDPLAN Estimated Breeding Values contained in this Sale Catalogue were compiled by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) from data supplied by the breeders. Neither the Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society nor the ABRI oversee or audit the collection of this data.
All bulls entered at official Society sales have their Myostatin status displayed in the catalogue. Myostatin Status No Carrier, means the bull does not carry the Myostatin variance gene.
Myostatin Status Single Version Carrier means the bull carries a single version either Myostatin NT821 or F94L genes, but still accepted for registration by the Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society
