DANGARFIELD BOOM-BOX (pS)(AI)(ET)SIRE: DANGARFIELD X-BOX (P) This is one cool customer and our bigget gentle giant. Boom-Box (PS) has continued to grow and is now our largest sire. We cannot get him into our weigh box but estimate him to be well over 1,300kg. Not only is he big and placid, but he has the ideal skin and coat type, fine sheath and yet still a good loose dewlap, and perfect feet.

DANGARFIELD curio (p)SIRE: ROCKINGHAM LAKESIDE (PS) Dangarfield Curio (P) is breeding one of the more consistent lines of progeny we have seen. The majority of them carry his strong attributes – good strong head, smooth make, great nature and dark coat. We are now using Dangarfield Curio (P) heavily as we are so impressed with what he is doing, and he is just so versatile . His progeny are easy to identify in any mob. We use him in a wide range of females, both in type and pedigree, and he “clicks” with most of them. Safe to use in AI for maiden heifer programs and he also is athletic enough to cover them with natural service. He breeds enough power and carcass, while also maintaining fertility in his daughters - a hard combination to find. Dangarfield Curio (P) has sold 16 sons at auction to average $16,250, inlcuding the sale topper, Funky Thang for $34,000 to Rockingham Stud. Four sons have been retained. Dangarfield Curio (P) is at Kingswood for the off season if you would like to inspect him. |

DANGARFIELD firewall (ivf)SIRE: YARRAWONGA MEGABYTE M286 When we are taking inspections through the sire paddock at Kingswood most will comment “Who is that over there?!” before we get up close to DANGARFIELD FIREWALL (IVF). Dark, huge carcass, full of meat and amazing constitution. He would have to have the longest hip to pin I’ve ever seen. Far too big now to put in our weigh box, but I’d estimate him 1,200kg plus. He has never been supplementary fed in his life, yet he gets around like he has never been worked even at the end of the joining season. He is an active sire when covering his cows. We have retained a son from this first drop of progeny and we have an impressive run of his sons in the current weaner drop. His dam, DANGARFIELD 7209 (P) has 6 natural calves with a 403 ACI, plus 43 IVF calves and remains active in our breeding herd. DANGARFIELD FIREWALL(IVF) graddam, DANGARFIELD 3076 (P) had 6 natural calves with a 367 ACI, plus 9 IVF calves. Great granddam, DANGARFIELD 0106 had 12 natural calves with a 356 ACI. |

DANGARFIELD fame& fortune (ivf)SIRE: DANGARFIELD ZABEEL (P)(AI)(ET) We debated for a long time wether or not to offer DANGARFIELD FAME & FORTUNE (IVF) to the market in 2023, he was collected prior to the auction, then sold to Valencia Farming & Grazing Co. for $31,000. That same day his full brother, DANGARFIELD FRONTIER (PS)(IVF) sold to Daandine Pastoral Co. for $21,000. Great thickness, full of meat and thick right through, easy doing, proud and upstanding. Some great cows calving history looking back into the dams’ pedigree of these 2 sires:
that is 69 calves from 7 cows (averaging just under 10) within 3 generations of their pedigree. |

DANGARFIELD fRONTIER (PS)(ivf)SIRE: DANGARFIELD ZABEEL (P)(AI)(ET) Sold to Daandine Pastoral Co for $21,000, his full brother, DANGARFIELD FAME & FORTUNE (IVF) sold for $31,000 on that same day. Extra length, full through the barrel and packed with meat - sums up DANGARFIELD FRONTIER (PS)(IVF) pretty quick and easy. Some great cows calving history looking back into the dams’ pedigree of these 2 sires:
that is 69 calves from 7 cows (averaging just under 10) within 3 generations of their pedigree. |
DANGARFIELD EGO ROCKSIRE: BUNDA NUGGET (PS) DANGARFIELD EGO ROCK was one very cool customer. He was only lightly shown in 2022 at Taroom and Roma Shows - coming home from Roma with Supreme Exhibit of the Show. Silky smooth skin, and big butted. Check out the meat he has packed into his sons. We had high hopes for him but unfortunately only a couple of weeks into his first natural joining he was crippled in a front foot and had to be put down.

DANGARFIELD QUARTERBACK (P)SIRE: DANGARFIELD JACK JUNIOR (P) Dangarfield Quarterback (P) has taken our entire herd to the next level, in 10 years 75 sons have been auctioned to gross over $880,000, averaged over $11,100 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 Dangarfield 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 Dangarfield 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. Dangarfield 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. Semen packages are available in Dangarfield Quarterback (P). |
