Angus breed-leading genetics await potential buyers at the upcoming Bowman Performance Genetics spring sale on Wednesday 17 September.
Sires include some of the earliest sons offered in Australia of Woodhill Comstock (USA), delivering elite calving ease traits as well as exceptional EMA, IMF, and an Angus Breeding Index (ABI) in the top three per cent of the breed.
“The proven science of Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) is extremely accurate for breeding and managing a self-replacing cow herd, and is a must for any professional producer,” said stud principal Glenn Bowman.
“We’ve seen this data assist and drive on-farm decisions for over 20 years in our 1,200-head breeding herd.
"It’s now feeding back into our clients’ herds—many of whom run some of the largest and most profitable operations in Gippsland and interstate.

“Knowing that we’re improving growth, fertility, and carcass traits—while making life easier on-farm through enhanced calving ease—gives us great satisfaction,” Mr Bowman said.
“Our goals are to add profit by delivering high-performance bulls, and to help farmers with tailored bull selection, herd health management, and marketing.”
Following up on the performance of the 150-plus bulls sold each year is a priority, and Bowman offers what many consider to be the best after-sales service in the industry.
“We want to know our bulls are performing at the highest industry standard, as we continually raise the bar through generations of quality genetics, genomic-enhanced data, and cattlemanship.”
Mr Bowman believes early DNA tissue sampling has accelerated genetic progress by three to five years.
The accuracy of the data is now undeniable, clearly showing how an animal will breed.
“Raw data and weights were great selection tools 30 years ago, but cattle breeding has moved on.
"The ability for the astute breeder to access this data and rank animals across different herds puts them at the forefront of the industry.”
A Bowman bull combines the latest science with outstanding carcass shape—so you don’t have to choose between performance and phenotype.
