The 3R Ultrablack program is being developed, in conjunction with our Angus program, to breed a genetic offering of bulls particularly suited to the challenges of the Northern Pastoral Industry. The cattle bred from our program are high content Angus genetics (varying from 81.25% to 90.62% Angus blood) allowing Producers to specifically select for the level of desired adaptability in their herd but retaining a slick skin and a proven willingness to forage. Furthermore, the progeny of these 3R Ultrablack genetics from Angus based cows are anticipated to meet eligibility for Angus branded products.
In forming the foundation of the 3R Ultrablack herd great consideration was given to setting a rock solid genetic base for the herd. Subsequently superior donor females were purchased from the renowned Texas Angus program - a program with a proven record of performance. Uniquely, the 3R Ultrablack cattle are anchored to a genuine elite seedstock base and utilising the most impressive Brangus & Ultrablack sires throughout Australia and the United States. A significant number of Ultrablack embryos were implanted in 2021 with the first crop of 3R Ultrablack bulls available in years to come. These bulls will be available for paddock sales along with select lots via auction including the 3R Annual Spring Sale. |
