BEN NEVIS JEAN P303
Ben Nevis Grazing Co
· Cow · Angus · Sire: PREMIER GUARDIAN M12 · Dam: BEN NEVIS JEAN L115 · Sells open with bull calf at foot born 17/02/26 by Ben Nevis Rambo R230. We are very proud of Donor Jean P303 – the mother ship. Jean B21’s progeny directly shows the power and consistency of our cow lines here with 9 lots represented. P303 has been a very successful donor for us and is a prolific egg producer, averaging over nine eggs per flush conventional. Her eleven sons that have gone through the sale have consistently featured in our top pens. P303 is the most impressive cow in the flesh showing phenomenal capacity, consistent with Premier Guardian and the renowned Premier Jestress H66 cow in her paternal pedigree. Her eggs raised $5050 each by Rob and Tania Jarret in 2022 at the Molong Flood Charity Auction and we raised over $20,000 for flood victims in all. Her current bull calf by Rambo is an absolute ripper. Her maternal aunt is Lot 4, with both her and P303’s dam out of G117, sister to D71 who is the dam of H215.

Ben Nevis Grazing Co
· Embryo · Angus · Sire: BEN NEVIS MONARCH M128 · Dam: BEN NEVIS JEAN P59 · 4 x A GRADE IVF EXPORT QUALIFIED OR DOMESTIC EMBRYOS When S47’s Grandam H215 sold we missed her terribly, but we had her daughter M30 to fill the void. When she died from an accident last year we knew immediately that S47 would take up the mantle. While Jean S47 herself is not in the Mature Cow Sale in the spirit of the sale we have made her available in the form of an exclusive embryo package. S47 has already established herself selling her first run of 5 bulls at last years’ sale for an average of $18,000 with three of them heading to studs including Wattletop, Karoo and Excel Genetics. Her grand dam is the $82K Ben Nevis Jean H215 and her dam is a full sister to Lots 1, 38, 55 with Lot 1 being the Australian record holder for embryo’s sold at auction for $6,000 per egg to Mackas Angus. S47’s eggs by Knowla So Right were exported to the USA to Darrel and Sara Stevensons from Stevensons Down T Ranch in Montana. S47 is currently in export quarantine and can be IVF’ed to the bull of your choice for Domestic, US, NZ, Sth America or EU accredited eggs for 4 A grade eggs. Sold price per egg for 4 eggs.
