Described by Tobruk Beef as the “best calf we have produced to date”, Southern Cross S15 has scored a unique AuctionsPlus double - selling for $91,000. Along with taking out the highest price during AuctionsPlus’ monthly cattle stud and genetics sale, held on Friday June 3rd, Southern Cross S15 also set a new record high for a yearling Hereford bull – just two days after turning 12 months old.
Southern Cross’s greatest strength was that his “looks match his performance”. According to the assessment descriptions, “the bull boasts a balance of incredible thickness, weight for age and sound structure, with an ideal EBV profile. Top 1% for all dollar Index’s, +2.3 for birthweight, +112 for 600-day weight and +1.9 for intramuscular fat”. Free of all genetic disorders and parent verified, S15 was comprehensively performance recorded, including carcass scanning, docility and genomics.
