A new direction for Riddellvue Angus

EMBARKING on a new path in 2025, Riddellvue Angus will continue its commitment to breeding genuine, hard-working bulls and elite outcross females out of a small spring herd. This February the stud is offering a unique opportunity for beef breeders to secure top-tier foundation females at the stage two Autumn Herd Dispersal Sale on Friday, February 7 from 1pm, on-property in Markwood and online with AuctionsPlus. Showcasing an exceptional line-up of elite outcross genetics that will fit into any program, the female group includes 100 premium PTIC cows; M-N-P-Q-R-S-T including 30 spring joined U heifers plus an additional 30 autumn V heifers. “I have always trusted my gut when selecting sires to use and never got hung up on numbers but have been mindful this is what the industry is looking for," Ian Bates, Riddellvue stud principal, said. “I’m really proud of this elite line of females we are putting up at the February auction.” Then on Thursday, March 13, around 30 high calibre 18-month-old bulls will be offered at the annual autumn bull sale. Mr Bates said the sale will feature a draft of structurally sound, high-performing sires bred for calving ease, fertility and temperament. “There is a bull in the catalogue to suit all types of beef breeders, and we take pride in breeding cattle that meet the needs of commercial producers," he said. "Both the females and bulls up for auction represent years of careful selection based on structural soundness, fertility and outcross genetics. "They will fit seamlessly into any program, offering proven performance and longevity.” The females only will be on display during the stud’s Beef Week Open Day on Tuesday, February 4 and are also available to view by private inspection prior to the February 7 auction. “Buyers can expect full DNA genomic profiles and a supplementary sheet detailing pregnancy status on all females available at Beef Week," said Mr Bates. There will be a pre-sale inspection day for the bulls with the date to be announced closer to the March sale.
