Coonamble Samson’s S54 pedigree is built on leading bloodlines, combining the influence of Baldridge Bronc, Coonamble Elevator E11 and Coonamble Hector H249, with strong maternal backing and trusted Angus genetics. He was used extensively in Trafalgar’s ET and AI programs, underlining his value in advancing structure and performance in progeny. Trafalgar Angus is one of the first studs to use Samson. From a figures perspective, Samson offers an excellent blend of traits with notable growth figures, while also ranking well for structural soundness, including Claw Set and Foot Angle EBVs in the top percentiles, traits that are key for longevity and ease of management in progeny. Bulls sired by Coonamble Samson S54 are respected for their balanced performance, solid frame, strong growth, and functional structural traits, making them valuable additions to both stud and commercial herds. Lot 3, 5, and 9 carry the influence of this proven sire, offering buyers genetics backed by performance history and strong breed benchmarks. #AngusBeef,#angusbulls,#AngusBullSale
LOT 2: Trafalgar Rocketman V86, is a genuine ‘heifer-bull with horsepower’ option by Millah Murrah Rocket Man, offering calving ease without giving up performance. V86 carries the length, softness and surprising growth that make Rocket Man progeny so valuable. A safe, versatile young sire with plenty of upside. #angusbulls,#bullsale
Understanding EBV's At Trafalgar Angus, we encourage clients to use Angus Australia selection indexes to compare bulls. Indexes combine key traits like growth, fertility, carcase and efficiency into a single figure, expressed as a dollar value, showing expected profitability per cow joined. Each index suits a specific production system, so a bull may rank differently depending on the goal. Use indexes alongside structural soundness, temperament and environment to make balanced, confident breeding decisions, and we’re always happy to help interpret the numbers. $A & $A-L The Angus Breeding Index ($A) and Angus Breeding Low Feed Cost Index ($A-L) estimate genetic differences in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial, self-replacing herd. Both focus on improving whole-of-herd profitability with daughters retained for breeding, making female traits important. The $A index suits systems where pasture is fully utilised and aims to maintain mature cow weight, while the $A-L index is designed for lower-cost or surplus feed systems and allows for increased mature cow weight. #angusbullsale,#bullsforsale
Lot1 . Trafalgar Rocketman Leading the draft is this grandson of Paratrooper and he is all about growth and carcass. He shows explosive growth wt for age, strong muscle and standout carcase data yet still has a moderate birth weight for calving ease and confidence. A high performance bull built for modern beef markets #AngusBulls #BeefCattle #BeefProducers #AustralianBeef #WACattle
