By John Reed Top Ten List The 2010 National Western Stock Show will mark the 10th anniversary of our National Lowline Show and Sale. To help celebrate this milestone, I would like to highlight the top 10 Lowline bulls that have influenced the breed during it’s first decade in the Americas. These bulls are listed by the number of progeny recorded, but they have all had a significant and positive influence on American Lowline cattle. #1: Brambletye Quartermaster Q117 (373 recorded progeny) Quartermaster was the 1998 Australian National Champion bull. Imported to the U.S., his semen was used extensively in fullblood and percentage programs. His offspring were of modest size but possessed excellent carcass yield and quality. Many offspring had commendable show careers and several daughters were used in ET programs. With excellent longevity, many daughters are still in production today. #2: Brambletye Tequila (261 recorded progeny) Tequila was the 2000 Australian National Champion Bull. He was imported to the US and sold for a record price of $22,500 in the first National sale. He has sired more national champions than any other Lowline bull including two national champion get of sires. His sons and daughters continue to produce national champions. His progeny excel in quality, correctness, extension and breed character. #3: Brambletye Transam (169 recorded progeny) Transam, by Athanlee Herman R007, was imported with his paternal half brother, Tequila. Used extensively, he produced many champions and added extra quality, muscle and length to his offspring. A daughter that sold in the 2005 national sale for $33,000 is still the record selling female of the breed. His progeny are still prominent today in many shows and sales and continue to be sought as elite herd building genetics. #4: Fairwyn’s Machine (158 recorded progeny) Machine, the 2003 National Champion is possibly the best know son of Tequila. He went on to sire many champions and solid working cattle. He was the first Lowline bull to be purchased and merchandised directly to the Angus and commercial industry #5: Brackengrae Beau Lad (142 recorded progeny) Beau Lad semen was imported in the “second wave” and was an instant hit. Being a moderate framed, very correct, high quality bull, he was used extensively and produced the 2002 National Champion bull and many show champions in subsequent years. His progeny are generally moderate framed with tremendous muscle and volume. #6: Brambletye Admiral J222 (136 recorded progeny) A most prolific bull, Admiral sired many of the first importations of embryos. His sons and daughters were above average in frame with deep bodies and fleshing ability. His pedigree was so prominent in the early years that some breeders shunned him, looking for “more unique” genetics. However, he possibly had the most positive influence on our breed of all the early foundation sires. #7: Eliza Park Brenton N001 (128 recorded progeny) Brenton was perhaps the largest framed Australian fullblood bull used in the U.S. He sired the first National Champion Lowline bull and was used in several herds searching for Lowline genetics to add frame and compete in the commercial industry. #8: TRA M206 Midshipman (124 progeny recorded) Midshipman semen was among the first imported to the U.S. He was the sire of Quartermaster and sired somewhat larger cattle than his Champion son, with excellent carcass composition. He was used extensively in producing F1 offspring that could work in the commercial industry and he appears in many fullblood and percentage pedigrees here in the U.S. #9: Nevada N060 (123 progeny recorded) Nevada was one of the first bulls originally selected in Australia for semen export to the U.S. He sired larger framed Lowline cattle with good size and substance. Many of his big volume, heavy weight daughters were used in ET programs. He sired two National Champion bulls and his sons and daughters appear on today’s most popular pedigrees. #10: Bar J Ponderosa 0K13 (104 progeny recorded) Sired by Nevada, Ponderosa was the 2002 Reserve National Champion bull. Weighing over 1,600 lbs at maturity, he sired many champions and his offspring have proven to be stellar producers. Ponderosa daughters produced the 2008 Grand and Reserve National Champion females and the 2009 National champion female.
