Santa Gertrudis Stud
Strathmore Senator was selected as a Sire for his strong breed phenotype and sheer scale, and he has continued to grow into what we expected as he was purchased as a very young bull. He is producing progeny with dark coats and strong Breed Type with good looseness of skin but still having good navels and tight sheaths on his offspring. He was purchased with no EBVs, but as we gain more data, he is quickly becoming a leader in many traits. Senator is quickly becoming our go to Sire in the stud.
Tic Toc was purchased at Lot 3, in the 2023 Yarrawonga Bull Sale. We were attracted to his Sire Strathmore Jubilee, who sold as the top priced bull at the 2020 Strathmore Sale. The success of the breeding going back on his Dam’s side was also something we were attracted to. Selected for his sheer scale and growth pattern we were also attracted to his tropical content and his finishing ability and felt this was the pick of the Jubilee sons on offer. At 23 months he weighed 1010 kgs, had an EMA of 146, Fats of 13/10 IMF 5.7, Scrotal 39 cm and a 90 percent morphology. He has delivered all of what we thought he would breed, replicating himself in his progeny. The more data we collect on him justifies this, with him becoming a trait leader in growth EBVS and EMA in the top 1percent. Tic Toc is a Sire you will see with a lot more progeny represented in our sales going forward.
