Semen & Sales
There is very little more that can be said about Theodore. Excels in a large number of traits. Combination of birth, doability and muscle with unsurpassed consistency in breeding both bulls and females. Purchased for $36,000 in 2000. In 2011 he became the first Shorthorn bull to have over 1000 calves registered in Australia. He has been used in over 40 herds. He is truly a legend of the breed.

We bought Roley along with his mother, and a couple of other cows from Richard and Julie Anderson when he was a yearling in 2006. We used him here and then took him to Sydney in 2007 for the feature show where he was Grand Champion under David Bondfield.
