| Simmental Style - Bandeeka Tasha, Bandeeka Cowboy and Bandeeka Adam |
Bandeeka Simmental stud is finding great favour with commercial breeders looking to turn off fast growing, heavy baby beef. This year’s line-up of Simmental bulls is especially pleasing for their evenness and carcase performance traits.
We have a quality sire battery in place in the stud and these sires are passing that performance on to their sons. These sires include Bandeeka Adam – a bull that was sashed the interbreed champion of all shows in 2007.
Adam is a real standout sire and has all the attributes that any breed would be happy with. He is as long as a train and structurally very well put together. He is not only a stand out physically, but is also placed in the top 5% of the breed for his 400 day weight EBV of +45. Adam is also well above breed average on supermarket index and Japan Index at +$24 and +$19 respectively.
Other sires include Optimal, a South African sire from which there is no more semen available due to this bull’s popularity, and the well proven Wichita.
Wichita sired our 2007 Perth Royal Show junior champion bull and is producing calves that are making many commercial farmers very happy. His calves are heavy and grow out rapidly – an ideal baby beef producer. A relatively new sire on the scene is Bandeeka Yass River. This year will see the first of his sons offered in the sale and they are looking exceptional. Yass River is a 2003 drop calf who looks to have a real future within the stud.
Long term clients are reporting excellent results every year from Bandeeka bulls. Most of the comments revolve around the weights they are getting in their calves, including figures such as 254kg averages over 50 or more calves.
