Our top Red Polled sire, Jacob Rio, is now one of the most talked about sires in the Red Brahman breed. The interest shown in this bull from breeders here in Australia , as well as from overseas, reinforces our belief in this exceptional bull. While his tremendous bone, natural muscling, and breed character are his obvious attributes, his ability to produce consistent progeny impresses us even more. We now have the opportunity to assess his daughters with calves at foot and we are very pleased with these females. At the Rockhampton Brahman Week Sale 2001, 14 Jacob Rio sons averaged $14,100, selling to $32,500 and registering the top sale average for red bulls. This was followed in 2002 when 14 bulls sold to average $14,964 again registering the top average for red bulls with a high of $55,000 being the top priced Brahman bull sold in 2002.

Red Domino is a light pigment son of Avondale Eveready, one of the top red sires of the 1970's.  He is out of our top show cow, Fairy Springs Deanna, a daughter of Fairy Springs Red Dollar.  He was used lightly in the stud before his untimely death.  We are very impressed with his calves to date.  They are a very even red colour, showing plenty of thickness, good temperament, and a fair percentage of light pigment calves.  We thoroughly recommend this bull for crossbreeding purposes and to Droughtmaster breeders in particular.
