ID: GK S01
DOB: 09/01/21
S1 is a growthy, long bodied, slick coated bull. Being a very moderate birthweight calf out of a two year old first calver, S1 would be highly suitable for use over maiden heifers but would still have enough size and power to use over cows as well.

S1 is parent verified and SNP profiled. He is dual registered in the herdbook of both The Red Angus and Angus Societies of Australia.

Sharp Shooter is one of the youngest bulls to sell in Power of Red VIII and he’s powerful, long bodied & athletic. He is a full brother to the Beef 2021 Heifer Calf Champion, being out of the Triple M Morojitti cow, who was purchased as top priced female out of Power of Red VI in 2020.
S5 is a high growth bull standing in the top 15% of the breed for 200 day weight , top 10% for 400 day weight, top 10% for scrotal circumference and top 20% for carcase weight on Breedplan.

Lot 38C (2 units)
RED FINE LINE MULBERRY 26P
CANM1237972
This will be one of the last times we will offer semen packages on the legendary Red Fine Line Mulberry as we are very low on stock.
He’s still a triple trait leader for growth in Australia. Mulberry is known worldwide for his amazing daughters and easy doing sons.

Lot 39B (4 units)
Red Wheel Stark 67G
CANM2104790
Stark 67G is an outcross sire incorporating the outstanding black bull Brooking Bank Note into the Red Gene Pool.
He has consistently stamped his progeny in Canada with his easy fleshing ability and very docile nature.
His first few calves should be on the ground in Australia by sale day. These will be the only packages we offer until Spring 2023.
LOT 40
Lot 40A (4 units)
Lot 40B (2 units)
Red Cockburn Assassin 624D
CANM1942328
Assassin’s progeny have been met with high demand, with sons selling to $19,000 in Australia in Power of Red VII last year. He consistently sires easy born calves with shorter gestation length. His progeny display amazing temperaments, grow rapidly and exhibit plenty of muscle shape and scrotal development. His first daughters exhibit superb udder quality and are gorgeous young cows with loads of capacity.
Assassin is in the top 1% of the breed for 400 day weight on Group Breedplan. He is also in the top 5% for scrotal circumference and carcass weight, the top 10% for 200 day weight and top 15% for milk. He clicks brilliantly over Mulberry females and is sure to become a trait leader in the next couple of months going on these figures.
This will be the last time GK offers packages in Assassin as we have virtually no stock left in storage.
