TE MANIA BERKLEY B1 (AI)
Te Mania Berkley B1 is the premier Australian bred sire at present and as a mark of his standing in November 2010 the physical possession and 50% of the semen marketing rights were purchased by Hazeldean Angus for $65,000. In 2011 semen distribution has been signed for the UK and Ireland.
Berkley B1 is very balanced with natural thickness and good length of body. His sons have dominated Te Mania bull sales in 2011, with a sale record high of $91,000 in Autumn, and in Spring 10 sons selling for an average of $9,720 at Walgett, NSW.
Both Hazeldean and Te Mania have exciting young prospects coming along by Te Mania Berkley. His progeny are standouts for muscle pattern and capacity, blending calving ease with high growth and carcase weight.
Angus Breed Trait Leader eight times - Calving Ease Dir, Gestation length, 200 D, 400 D & 600 Day Weights, Scrotal Size and Carcase weight.
