Banquet genetics deliver assurance and results

Banquet’s focus is quite simply on making dollars for clients, through the greater efficiencies and productivity achieved from using Banquet genetics.

The Banquet herd has always had structural soundness, temperament, fertility and doing-ability as the most important selection criteria.

The Banquet cow herd is the engine room, rigorously culled for the traits clients demand.

Banquet cattle are different from most other Angus.

They are bigger, more powerful, faster growing, have extra muscling and quiet temperament, ensuring they give premiums for users, whether in crossbreeding or pure breeding programs.

Banquet bulls are rigorously assessed and tested.

They are vet checked, and semen tested for motility and morphology.

Docility is a focus at Banquet.

Many of the sale offering have docility EBVs in the top 10 per cent of the breed.

Banquet bulls have their pedigrees verified which gives a higher level of assurance when selecting a new sire.

They are also genomic tested which increases the accuracy of their EBVs making selections more reliable.

All Banquet sale bulls are free of all known genetic defects.

A stringent vaccination program for the bulls protects your investment from clostridial diseases, leptospirosis, pestivirus and vibriosis.

Banquet will do further vaccinations, like ephemeral fever and tick fever, at the buyer’s request.

Banquet offers free delivery on sale bulls, all bulls come with a three-year guarantee and Banquet’s well known client service.

Sons and grandsons of Banquet’s super star sire, Banquet Nuttella N462, will again feature in the September 5 bull sale.

His sons have dominated Banquet sales since February 2022.

At their most recent sale it was again a Nuttella son that achieved the top price of $64,000.

The World Angus Expo earlier this year hosted an Elite Female Auction that was dominated by a Nuttella daughter.

Banquet Dream V005 sold for a stunning $134,000 to Ballawinna Stud in Western Australia.

At the same event embryos sired by Nuttella sold for $4,600ea.

Banquet Nuttella N462 has proven to be an elite sire.

Chris Metcalf of Koojan Hills Stud in Western Australia published the following quote in his advertising, "the best AI sire we have used in the last decade” and currently one of the hottest bulls in the Australian Angus breed.

Take the opportunity to select sons and grandsons of Nuttella N462 at Banquet’s on-property spring bull sale on 5 September.
