Current Sires

Dangarfield Zulu

DANGARFIELD ZULU

SIRE: BULLAMAKINKA JAGUAR
DAM:  DANGARFIELD 0322
DOB: 01.10.2015

The powerhouse of the Dangarfield sire battery!!!

The most decorated individual that we have ever exhibit in the show ring. In a 2 year period he was exhibited at 8 shows and awarded 16 individual broad ribbons. You can add to that a further 7 broad ribbons that he helped win as the lead member of our exhibitor groups.
Supreme Exhibit of Wandoan Show, Tropical and Interbreed Champion at Springsure and Emerald Shows and Reserve Senior Champion Santa Gertrudis Bull at Beef 2018 - were some of his individual highlights.

For such a large sire, he moves with ease and is a pleasure to sit back and watch. Zulu commands attention when you inspect him in the paddock and he demands the respect from the other sires, who give him all the space he needs in the spell paddock in the off season. In the joining season he dominates his cow herd and covers a lot of country.

Zulu is breeding the bone, scale, frame and consistency into his progeny that we were expecting. To date 5 sons have averaged over $6 400 and topped at $10 000.

Zulu’s dam, Dangarfield 0322 was just another example of our consistent Warrillee Vernon females, with great body shape and perfect udder structure. 0322 produced 8 natural calves, with a 360 ACI, plus 4 IVF calves.
0322’s dam, Dangarfield 9226 was also a top producing cow who delivered 11 natural progeny with a 367 ACI.

We currently have Zulu at Kingswood for the off season if you would like to inspect him.


BULLAMAKINKA JAGUAR J170

SIRE: CANOWINDRA GOLD EDITION 
DAM: KELLY WALLAH Z21
DOB: 15.11.2012

Jaguar impressed us as he continued to grow out into one of our largest sires. He has bred consistent progeny with high growth calves that have that little bit extra bone, dark in colour and slick coated just like himself.
He had an extremely high libido and good serving ability. From the paddock that he was first joined in we sent away 26 hair samples for DNA Sire Verification resulting in 18 of them being sired by him. Not a bad effort considering there were another 4 sires in the paddock that season!!
Last season Jaguar succumbed to a hip injury and he had to be sold. This will be his second final offering with this last crop currently weaned.
To date, 2 sons and 1 grandson have been retained. At auction 19 sons have averaged over $11 500 to top at $30 000.

 


Dangarfield Quarterback (P)

DANGARFIELD QUARTERBACK (P)

SIRE: DANGARFIELD JACK JUNIOR (P) 
DAM: DANGARFIELD 0131 
DOB: 14.11.2006

Quarterback (P) has taken our entire herd to the next level, in 10 years 72 sons have been auctioned to gross over $767 000, averaged over $10 600 and top at $40 000 for Dangarfield Universe (PS) to Riverslea Group. Progeny retained include 7 sons and 10 grandsons and they in their own right are making valued contributions to our herd.

In addition to this, we are seeing some outstanding daughters and granddaughters come through the ranks in our breeding herd and we are excited about the potential they are offering.

The constitution of Quarterback (P) was something that had to be seen to be believed. People who inspected him had trouble believing that he was not on feed. He held his condition all year round. His amazing constitution and doing ability off grass is a trait he passes on strongly and we are keen to get this trait through our herd as much as possible, especially for our pasture finishing operation. To have a large volume of carcass on an animal and yet still be able to have more cover than most others is extremely rare, add to this his placid nature, and being polled, he really was something special. His progeny will always stand out in their mob and catch your eye, generally because they are the ones carrying the most body condition. We believe that these traits will never go “out of fashion” so we will continue to use Quarterback (P) in our ET and IVF Programs.

Semen of Quarterback (P) has been sold into 3 states within Australia, and exported to South Africa, Zambia, Namibia and Paraguay, where 2 sons have been named National Champions and 1 went on to be Grand Champion Bull of South America.

Quarterback (P) may have been our “ONCE IN A LIFETIME SIRE” and he has set the bar high for us to clear in the future. He only has the two sons in this years sale and there will be no sons available in 2022.

Semen packages are available in Dangarfield Quarterback (P).


Dangarfield Tornado

DANGARFIELD TORNADO

SIRE: DANGARFIELD QUARTERBACK (P) 
DAM: DANGARFIELD 2710 
DOB: 13.11.09

Tornado was retained from the first crop of Quarterback (P) progeny.
He won many championships in his 2 years on the show circuit, including Beef Week 2012 and the 8th Santa Gertrudis World Congress held in Brisbane in 2012.

His dam, Dangarfield 2710 was a great looking cow with a strong track record, she had 7 calves with a 370 ACI. All 4 of her sons classified with 3 going to auction to average $8 000, and 1 daughter was retained in the stud.
We are impressed by how Tornado has reproduced consistently within his progeny. His daughters are now among some of our best cows, with style, character, and fertility all in the one package. They are starting to make their own mark not only within our herd but also for other studs that have used his semen.
Earlier this year, at the Sydney Royal Easter Show a Tornado daughter, Belmore Redemption (P) won Supreme Exhibit - quiet an amazing achievement considering she was the Junior Champion at only 13 months of age. Congratulations to the Shannon Family.

Feedback from those who have seen his daughters comment on what a great line they are. A number of these daughters have been placed in our donor program.

Two sons and one grandson have been retained. Tornado has sold 39 sons at auction to top at $19 000, and average just over $8 900. Tornado was sold in 2020 and his final offering will be available in 2022.

Semen from Tornado has been exported to South Africa, Namibia and New Zealand.

To date 13 sons have sold at auction to average just over $6 000 and gross $90 100.


Dangarfield Alphonse (P)

DANGARFIELD alphonse (ps)

SIRE: DANGARFIELD TORNADO
DAM: DANGARFIELD MULTIPLE DAM
DOB: 01.09.2016

Alphonse (PS) turned up in a stud paddock but his dam was unable to be identified. DNA testing proved he was born in the paddock he was found in, so we suspect he could possibly have been a twin.

A poll scur son of Tornado with great structure and confirmation. He has bred a consistent line with great nature that we would expect from his bloodline.
Made square with a smooth body of meat, deep right through and full in the flank. I am confident that you will not be disappointed in the line these sons will produce.

We are impressed with his line of daughters, and 1 son has been retained.



DANGARFIELD X-ECUTIONER (P)

DANGARFIELD X-ECUTIONER (P) 

SIRE: GRAYLN DROVER (P)
DAM: DANGARFIELD 2016 (P)
DOB: 01.10.2013

An outcross poll sire with a bomb proof nature.
X-Ecutioner (P) had a light sheath while maintaining loose skin and a good broad clean polled head.

 

X-Ecutioner (P) sustained a hip injury early in his working life, so we are used him as a “go to” sire through AI in our programs.
We will be continuing to use this sire for many years to come.

His daughters are among some of our best. They are very stylish with that great wedge shape about them, dark in colour
and predominately polled with a great nature like their sire. We feel they will become highly valued breeders in the future.

X-Ecutioner (P) has sold 15 sons at auction to average $11 700 and top at $29 000 for Bernborough (P) to the Welbatch Stud.

 

 


Canowindra Legend (P)

CANOWINDRA LEGEND (p)

 SIRE:  NUGAROI UTOPIA (P)
DAM:  QUANDILLA A29 
DOB:  28.09.2011

Legend (P) was purchased for $20 000 in 2014. He was a big gentle giant and had one of the strongest polled heads I had seen in a long time. He was full of meat, strong in behind the shoulders and very full through the barrel.

One son has been retained and 9 sons have sold to average over $10 000 with a top of $36 000 for Zerxes (PS) to Tullamore
Park Pastoral.

Our Legend (P) daughters are impressive. They are one of the strongest, most consistent lines that we have seen for a while
from an outside sire. They have given us a high preg test and classification rate. We are expecting a big contribution from
them in the future.


Dangarfield Alcatraz (P)DANGARFIELD ALCATRAZ (P)

SIRE: CANOWINDRA LEGEND (P)
DAM: DANGARFIELD 2257 (P) 
DOB: 06.09.2016

Alcatraz (P) was retained to continue the Canowindra Legend (P) line. It would be safe to say that Alcatraz (P) had as much bone as I have ever seen in a poll bull. He also has his sires great strong poll head and placid nature.

He was shown for 1 year and won several Junior Championships, only to be beaten by Zulu as a Senior, who outdone him for Grand Champion.

Unfortunately, Alcatraz (P) picked up a bone infection in his first off season and we were forced to sell him.  


 
DANGARFIELD VEGAS

DANGARFIELD VEGAS

SIRE: HARDIGREEN PARK LEGEND
DAM: DANGARFIELD 9097
DOB: 29.07.2011

We just love our Vegas progeny - made square, correct, quiet and consistent, is the easiest way to describe them.

It was a mistake to sell Vegas privately after only 1 season of natural service, from this first calf crop he averaged $9 542 and topped
at $20 000. After that, we approached the purchasers of Vegas and acquired some semen straws to use in ET and IVF programs.

We are very impressed with the Vegas progeny with the consistency across the entire line. His daughters have also returned
strong preg test results.

When you look back through his pedigree it is no wonder he bred so well. His dam was a highly fertile Dangarfield Becon
daughter, Dangarfield 9097 who produced 12 natural progeny with a 360 ACI. Her sons averaged just under $7 000 and
3 of her daughters went into the stud herd.

His granddam, Dangarfield 3107 (P) was a great old cow of her time. She also produced 12 natural progeny with a 361 ACI.
Among her progeny was our former leading sire, Dangarfield Jack Junior (P), who went on to sire Dangarfield Quarterback (P).
Vegas’s sire, Hardigreen Park Legend, produced big performing, fast finishing progeny suitable for pasture production.

To date, 1 son has been retained and 21 sons have sold to average just under $10 000 and top at $22 000.

 

Dangarfield Yothu YindiDANGARFIELD yothu yindi

SIRE: DANGARFIELD VEGAS
DAM: DANGARFIELD 9444 (P) 
DOB: 08.10.2014

Yothu Yindi had a great carcass quality about him. Full of meat but still smooth, made with the ability to easily lay down body condition.

His dam, 9444 (P) had 6 calves with 344 ACI and 4 of them classified, with 3 daughters going into our stud herd.

Yothu Yindi’s granddam, 4696 (P) had 9 progeny with a 362 ACI. She sold 3 sons at auction to a top of $7 500, 1 daughter was retained in our stud herd and 1 daughter in our commercial herd.

It’s consistent dam lines like this that we are always on the look out for. Retaining a sire with this strength of breeding history, along with his outlook helps make the decision to be retained easy for us.

To date, Yothu Yindi has sold 5 sons to average $9 500 and top at $14 000. This will be the final offering of Yothu Yindi progeny.


BUNDA NUGGET (PS)bunda nugget (Ps)

SIRE: ROSEVALE BULLION F140
DAM: ROSGAR FRUIT-CUP F52 (P)
DOB: 31.08.2016

Purchased for the top price at the Wandoan Sale in 2018. Nugget has a complete outcross to what we own.
Trim sheath, fine slick dark coat and a placid nature, are his standout features.
He has produced a strong consistent line of progeny and they have been quick to sell privately throughout the year already.


GREENUP LICORICE (P)greenup licorice (P)

SIRE: DANGARFIELD TYCOON (P)
DAM: GREENUP ELLE (P)(AI)
DOB: 12.08.2014

Purchased for $36 000 in 2016. We were keen to get some of the Dangarfield Tycoon (P) blood back into our herd.

On sale day Licorice (P) was ranked second in DLG (1.13kg) and first for EMA (131cm2) out of 121 lots at the Greenup/Eidsvold bull sale.

Licorice (P) was large in frame & dark in colour. He produced consistently of which we would expect from his pedigree. Just check out the carcass attributes in this years’ line of Licorice (P) sons. They are a great display of the carcass quality that this bloodline produces.

To date, 10 sons have sold to average $6 300 and top at $11 500.


DANGARFIELD ZONTA (PS)DANGARFIELD ZONTA (PS)

SIRE: WARRILLEE EVEREADY (P)
DAM: DANGARFIELD 3095
DOB: 26.07.2015

This bull carried a great body mass about him.

When we scanned him at 23 months he measured 140 EMA and considering he was a maiden heifer’s first calf that’s huge.

Poll scur, dark and slick coated along with his power and a fresh bloodline drew our attention to him to be retained.

He has proven himself to be a very active sire, achieving more than his fair share of calves while being multiple sired each season.

Unfortunately, he was found dead in the spell paddock earlier this year , so a son has been retained to carry on the bloodline.
