TEXAS VELOCITY V53
Texas Angus
· Bull · Angus · Sire: TEXAS POWERSHIFT P632 · Dam: TEXAS USHERETTE T183 · TOP STUD SIRE. Texas VELOCITY V53 is without any doubt, one young Stud Sire you must see for yourself. He is even better than his photo and is both Wendy’s and my favourite of the Autumn drop and quite possibly of the whole sale! Absolute “Power Presence & Performance.” 34 kgs born out of a 1st calf heifer and now one of the heaviest of his age group at 15 months being a 650+kg meat machine that has this level of Style and Stature, is truly a must to see in the flesh. He’s a Bull who is so fluent and athletic that pulls up with a perfect stance every time and that always tells you he is BALANCED. Big, strong head and outlook, super thick and long with real muscle and a heavy fleshing body, good on his feet and puppy dog quiet. This is where Genomics loses its credibility with the older genetics that are so PROVEN. V53 scanned the 4th largest EMA of 104cms at only 15 months of age with the 3rd highest IMF of 7.8, plus he has 42cm testicles. You would like to think that the genomic information would validate just how impressive his actual measurements are when compared to such a big contemporary of his. He truly is a Stud Sire that TEXAS ANGUS will definitely utilise strongly in our breeding program as his birth to growth is fantastic, huge CWT with positive fats. Top 2-15% CEDT, BW, 200, 400, 600, CWT, Fats, NFI & Eating Quality Shear Force.
