PAST Sires
DANGARFIELD EYEWITNESS(P)SIRE: BIG SUR YEOMAN The Beef '97 Grand Champion. When season permits we run AI programs on our leading heifers and use Eyewitness over the majority of them. Eyewitness produced strong toplines and carcass on his progeny. He consistently produced cattle that were a dark cherry red with a good coat and great carcass qualities. Over the years Eyewitness has gave us some top daughters and he is also the sire to one of our most noted sires in Dangarfield Improvement. |
DANGARFIELD JACK JUNIOR (P)SIRE: WACO JACK A lighter coloured poll bull with a power of muscle and near perfect sheath - the spitting image of his sire. Jack Junior (P) was a stand out sire of Dangarfield from his first season due to the consistent performance of his progeny across all fields. We could rely on his bulls to sell well at auction, his daughters to be consistent in their breeding, and his steers to earn top dollar out of the paddock with a majority of them being polled to boot. Jack Junior (P) progeny were a soft line with plenty of polls and were easily identified in the mob due to his strong influence. A great son was retained to replace Junior in Dangarfield Quarterback (P). This individual is a heavily muscled, easy doing sire with a placid nature. Quarterback's (P) first progeny were due in 2010. Follow our current sires page to see what Quarterback (P) is producing. 2009 saw 3 sons having been retained in the stud, and 29 sons sell at auction to gross just under $190,000 with a top of $17,000, and averaging just under $6,500. |

DANGARFIELD LIEUTENANTSIRE: YARRAWONGA KIDNAP The big gentle giant of Dangarfield. When he was representing us on the show circuit, Lieutenant was a dream to look after from day one. The only trouble was when he stood on our toe! He weighed just over 1,200kg at the Brisbane Ekka in 2004 as a 3 year old, after working a short season (unfed) at Dangarfield in 2003. We took Lieutenant in to the Taroom Show in 2011 for 'Guess the Weight' and with 5 weeks of light feeding after coming out of 55 cows, he weighed 1,212kg at 9.5 years of age. He is a bit of a pet around here and could be scratched out in the paddock. Our niece and nephew could also sit on him, although it became a struggle to lift them up high enough! Lieutenant was retained because it is very rare to find an individual with his size, breed character, docility and looseness, and still have a near perfect sheath. Lieutenant's dam (0516) had 7 calves with a 360-DCI. His daughters are particularly impressive, are valued breeders and are turning out some very impressive progeny. For Lieutenants last 2 seasons he covered the AI team to give us our best chance of producing a top shelf line of daughters - that's how much we thought of him. Two sons have also been retained in the stud. To date 50 sons have sold at auction to gross just short of $280,000 and average $5,500 with a top of $12,000 for Quatro (P) to the Cree Stud and a second top of $11,000 for Rifleman selling to the Cooinda Stud. |
DANGARFIELD PATROL CHIEFSIRE: DANGARFIELD KACTUS JACK Patrol Chief has a pedigree that combines some of our best bloodlines for fertility's and performance from our herd over the last 15 years or more. His dam, 3467 had 9 calves with a 366-day calving interval. Patrol Chief was an impressive individual. Long, thick, soft and loose skin, he had all the best qualities from his pedigree coming out in him and he passed this onto his progeny. Patrol Chief was probably not used to his full potential in his early working life as he was only multiple joined. Once we realized his sire strength, he was single sired to some of our best cows. He was found crippled halfway through the 2011/2012 joining season and had to be put down, making this his last offering of natural calves. We have not used him in our first ET programs but we fully intend to over the next couple of year. 2012 saw Patrol Chief's 20 sons sell at auction to gross just short of $212,000, and average $10,600 with a top of $24,000 for Titan (P) selling to Allendale Stud. |
DANGARFIELD SECOND-TO-NONESIRE: DUNLOP HILLBILLY This sire had some impressive data backing him when we decided to retain him from our 2010 sale draft. At 23 months of age he weighed 804kg with a daily life gain of 1.10kg, scanned 120 for eye muscle and measured 42 cm scrotal circumference. This raw data was after only 55 days of light sale preparation. Dangarfield Second-To-None has an impressive pedigree with his dam, Dangarfield 1460. She is still active in the herd at 13 years of age with 11 calves recorded to date and a 376 day calving interval. 1460 has produced 2 daughters that have gone into the stud, 3 of her sons went to auction and 1 son was sold privately. Dangarfield 1460 is by one of the greatest sires that we have seen in our herd - Capricorn Glengarry. Glengarry did some amazing things for us and left many great daughters producing top shelf progeny in our herd. Dangarfield Second-To-None sustained a leg injury early in life, but this has not affected his desire to get calves! When joined in one of our larger breeder paddocks he could be found in any corner on any day, he really covered some country. Second-To-None was leased for a half season in 2010 to Scott & Wendy Ferguson, and they sold a son of his in 2013 for $16,000 at Santa Central. To date, Second-To-None has sold 10 sons @ auction to average $5,100 and grossing $51,000. Semen of Second-To-None has been exported to South Africa, Namibia and New Zealand. |
DANGARFIELD SHAMROCK (AI)SIRE: DANGARFIELD IMPROVEMENT When putting together our 2010 sale team, we spent plenty of time wondering whether or not we should offer Shamrock (AI) for sale. At 25 months he weighed 814kg with a DLG of 1.04kg off pasture, he scanned up at 112 EMA and measured 40cm for scrotal. Thankfully when he sold for $12,000 to Cree Stud in 2010, we were lucky enough to negotiate and purchase a half share back in the bull. Shamrock had the real style, type of carcass and good nature that we have come to expect from the Dangarfield Improvement line. You only have to look through his 13 sons in this auction team to realise that he has reproduced himself extremely well with a strong, consistent line up on offer. His daughters are even more impressive! From our group of replacement heifers this year the several people who have seen that draft always comment on them for they style and eye catching qualities. Shamrock’s progeny classification rate is also very high with approximately 75% of his offspring branded S in 2104. Unfortunately this is the only offering of Shamrock’s that we will have for sale as he was injured just before he finished his season with us. |
DANGARFIELD Summit (p)SIRE: DUNLOP HIMALAYA

DANGARFIELD UNIVERSE (PS)SIRE: DANGARFIELD QUARTERBACK (P) Dangarfield Universe (PS) was joined by us for the 2012-2013 season, before we sold him at our 2013 Sale for $40 000 to Riverslea Group. After seeing his progeny born, we were able to negotiate and secure a half share back in the bull, something we are very thankful to the Martin Family for. In 2015 we retained 1 son of Universe (PS) and sold 12 at our auction. They averaged $8 200, and topped at $26 500 for Dangarfield X100 selling to Jaletto Pty Ltd - to set an Australian Herd Bull Record. With Riverslea Group having him for his second year, we used Universe (PS) in our ET Programs, and the result is 1 son in this sale. The daughters from this same flush are shaping up to be some exciting young breeders for us. To-date Universe (PS) has sired an impressive line of daughters delivering high pregnancy and classification rates for both the Dangarfield and Riverslea Group herds. Universe’s (PS) dam, Dangarfield 6496, has a strong calving record of 9 progeny to date, with a 359 day calving interval and is PTIC this year. Over the last couple of years, especially through our ET programs, it has become obvious that crossing Dangarfield Quarterback (P) over Warrillee Vernon daughters (same pedigree as Universe (PS)) is a consistently good cross. Semen of Universe (PS) has been exported to New Zealand and Paraguay. Semen packages are available in Dangarfield Universe (PS). |
DANGARFIELD TAROOMSIRE: SUJO HARMONY This sire really catches your eye when you see him. He is full of meat on one of those bodies that just has that extra length. Taroom has a great nature and has produced a strong consistent line that all have his stamp on them. His daughters returned a 99% pregnancy test rate this year from a yearling joining and we also feel they have a lot to offer our herd into the future. At his first auction Taroom's sold 7 sons to average $9,214 and top @ $20,000.

DANGARFIELD TRADITIONSIRE: DANGARFIELD PATROL CHIEF Tradition sold 2 sons @ Auction in 2015 to average $10,500 & top @ $12,000
|
DANGARFIELD TORRENT T011SIRE: DANGARFIELD QUARTERBACK (P) Sold to Hardigreen Park for $37,500 in 2011. Torrent’s dam produced 11 calves with a 357 day calving interval, with one daughter still in the stud after producing seven calves herself. |
DANGARFIELD TYPHOON (PS)(AI)SIRE: DANGARFIELD QUARTERBACK (P) Sold to Ian Mitchell & Co. for $28,000 in 2011. His dam, 0304, produced 9 calves with a 359 day calving interval. One daughter went into the stud and 3 of her sons have sold at auction. |
DANGARFIELD VALLIANT (P)
SIRE: DANGARFIELD QUARTERBACK (P) It was a big call to put Valliant (P) on the market but the decision was made to help mark our 25th Anniversary Sale in 2013. He sold for $23 000 to Yulgilbar and we have had positive feedback on his progeny. We collected semen before Valliant (P) was sold and we used him straight away through our ET Programs - the results are catalogued. Valliant’s (P) dam, Dangarfield 1429 was a great old cow and she was only just recently sold. She produced 13 natural calves with a 368 day calving interval; 5 sons averaged $9 000 at auction, another was sold privately, and 3 daughters went into the stud. Valliant (P) has produced the extra doing ability that we have come to expect from his pedigree.
|
GLENN OAKS COOPER (PS)SIRE: YARRAWONGA OBERG (P) Purchased privately for $25,000 after he won his strong class at the 2008 Ekka. I noticed the consistency of the Oberg progeny a couple of years before this and decided Cooper (PS) had enough quality about him to stick my neck out and buy him. Plenty of bone, a dark slick skin, a good set of testicles, tidy sheath and a strong polled head were the qualities that attracted me to him. Cooper’s daughters are particularly impressive. Each year there seems to be a Cooper (PS) daughter or 2 amongst my pick of the drop. He has been used in multiple joined paddocks each season and has proven himself to be a consistent calf-getter. To date 23 sons at auction have averaged $5,500 with a top of $16,000 for an Australian Santa Gertrudis commercial bull record, sold in 2012 to Peter and Shari Knudsen. 6 sons that have been identified have also been sold privately and 1 son, Umpire, has also been retained. In the 2012 season we put Cooper out into our multiple sire commercial herd. He sustained a couple of injuries while out there and he has since been sold, meaning this is his last offering of registered calves.
|
DUNLOP KALAHARISIRE: GLENN OAKS A62 Kalahari was purchased in 2010 from Santa Central for $28 000 for the top priced unled bull and the top priced horned Santa Gertrudis bull sold in Australia that year. We took a liking to Kalahari for his character, scale and carcass quality. Kalahari has a good, thick topline and is strong into the shoulders. He has a docile nature, but not when there is work to be done! He is very active and was multiple sire mated for 3 seasons, siring more than his fair share of calves. Kalahari is producing a consistent line of progeny. He is certainly putting his stamp on them and he is now being used in the single sired herd. Thirty sons have sold at auction to a top at $13 000 and average just under $6 000.

GRAYLYN DROVERSIRE: WAVE HILL Z31 (P)
|
HILLSIDE FOUREX (p)SIRE: G.B.L 451 DAM: DIAMOND VANITY (P) DOB: 26.09.2005 Fourex has been a bit of a "go to" sire for us for the last few seasons. We can safely use him over yearling heifers for his good serving ability and small birthweights and this is where he has spent most of his time. But he has been used as a backup sire in the stud herd on occasions and spent time in the commercial herd. His sons sell quickly when we have private sale clients looking for bulls to cover their maiden heifers and 19 sons have sold at auction to date to average $4,700.

HILLSIDE JACKPOTSIRE: WACO PERU

HARDIGREEN PARK LEGENDSIRE: WARENDA ROLEX Purchased as equal top priced unled bull at the 2009 Santa Central sale for $16, 000. Here at Dangarfield we all appreciate the placid nature and easy doing ability of the Legend progeny. If you want to breed big, easy doing, quiet bullocks to turn off pasture I strongly suggest having a good look through this offering of Legend sons. We have retained 3 sons of Legend for our stud and commercial herds for this purpose. legend himself is a very active sire. In his first year he returned a pregnancy test result of 54/55 PTIC. In his second year he came up with 54/56 PTIC. We have retained plenty of his daughters and they are returning good pregnancy test results. Legend is a big sire with great length, 1,150kg in his working clothes, a bombproof nature with large bone and a good coat. He produces a consistent line of progeny that are easy to identify from a distance when driving around. To date 26 sons have sold at auction to average $5,500 to a top of $12,000 for Viper (P) who sold to Riverslea Stud. |

ROSEVALE MATLOCK W20 (P)SIRE: WAVE HILL MATLOCK (PS) Purchased in 2004 for $13,000 he has produced exactly what he was purchased for - poll cattle with plenty of muscle power with a strong topline, good bone, excellent temperament just like himself. Throwing small birthweights, he has been single-sired to maiden heifers with absolutely no calving problems. Matlock's (P) daughters shaped up to be valuable breeders with strong pregnancy test results, early calving dates and perfect udders. His sons sold extremely well, with 13 at auction averaging just under $6,600, and he achieved top price of the sale in 2006 at $15,000, selling to Kidman & Co. |
WARRILLEE VERNONSIRE: WARRILEE 389 A quiet achiever in our herd. Purchased at the Big S Sale in 2004 for a second top of $14,000, Vernon was selected for his breed character and perfect sheath and navel. These traits have a strong influence in his progeny, they are trim, tidy and have loads of character. Vernon has been our resident sire for joining to maiden heifers. He returns strong pregnancy test results and his daughters are now doing the same. They are producing some big weaners for us and are versatile breeders, leaving it open to join them to a range of sires. They are an impressive group and regularly catch people’s attention upon inspection when going around Dangarfield. |
