• Sire: FLYING MATRIX • Dam: ACES APPROVAL

• KJWR180 Matrix Merlot (DOB 6/12/2020) is a powerful red bull bred for performance. I value his fertility and his consistency in producing stylish, functional progeny. With Moombi, Marellan, Sprys, Bundaleer and Royalla genetics, Merlot R180 reflects the quality and performance goals behind this program. He has been a strong API performer—top 2% for several years and currently top 5%. He sits above industry benchmarks in nine traits, including BW 35, Milk 25, CE 15, STAY 10%, FAT 20% and MARB 15%. Actual data: REA 110, Rump 19, Rib 11, IMF 6.7. His calves arrive easily and show excellent quality. Merlot is DNA tested (GGP-100K) and is SV, Myostatin negative and Hep. This dispersal is the first and only chance to access his bloodlines, with semen available for purchase (Lot 62). A back injury during joining in 2024 ended his working career, so semen was collected earlier this year; testing showed high activity, supporting strong fertility and conception potential. One collection produced 472 high-quality straws. Merlot’s daughters, granddaughters, sons and grandsons are offered in this sale.

Cleo carries impressive bloodlines through Patent Ace G3, Royalla Rory, and Logan Farm RR Empress—an impressive cow that went on to breed high-quality calves. Around 2020 I purchased three cows with calves at a Nero sale, specifically targeting Nero bloodlines, and I have been very pleased with the results. At foot Cleo has Moscato, a powerful soft red Merlot bull calf (CAF) with a touch of white. Moscato records an API of 15% and eight traits above breed average: STAY 10%, CE 15%, FAT 20%, and BWT 30%. Cleo is DNA tested SV, Myostatin negative, and HOP. She records an API of 30% with eight traits above breed average, showing consistency in CE, MCE, STAY, and FAT 15%, plus BWT and REA 30% and DOC 40%. Her actual data backs it up: REA 87, RUMP 20, RIB 13 and IMF 8.1. Cleo is PTIC to Smokin Velvet—I’d love to see the result of this joining. A unit I’m very proud of.

Lot 37 - DUCHESS AKARI

• Sire: QUINCEYS KAMACARSIE • Dam: DUCHESS OF SUSSEX

• KJWT269 Duchess Akari is a white, stretchy, smoothly muscled, feminine heifer with capacity, strong eye appeal, and a sweet temperament. She is a half-sister to Ruby (Lot 34) and Kiminichi (Lot 36), and a granddaughter of Bayview Duchess HTH60, the 2014 Adelaide Show Junior Reserve Champion heifer and standout lot in the 2014 Bayview sale—beautifully put together, calm, and consistently a top producer here year after year. Akari is by KJWQ119 Kamarcarsie and is one of only three females in this sale by him, as he died suddenly during his first joining. Akari’s bloodlines include Belmore, Moombi and Bayview. At foot she has an eye-catching, soft roan Merlot R180 heifer, Chateau Ausome, with an API of 40 and seven traits above breed average (CE 30%; MLK, FAT, and MARB 35%). Akari is DNA tested SV, Myostatin negative, and HOP, and is above breed average for four traits, including REA 20%. Her actual data—REA 78, RUMP 19, RIB 9, and IMF 7.40—continues to back her performance credentials. Akari is PTIC to Smokin Velvet.

Lot 36 - ENIA'S KIMINCHI

• Sire: QUINCEYS KAMACARSIE • Dam: APOLLOS ENIA'S

• KJWT281 Enia’s Kiminichi is a pretty, soft roan heifer with extra muscle while staying smooth, feminine, and well balanced, with capacity and strong eye appeal. She has a lovely temperament and has been a standout since birth. Her bloodlines include Belmore, Moombi, Royalla, and Bundaleer, and she is a half-sister to Ruby (Lot 34) and Akari (Lot 37)—all impressive females. By KJWQ119 Kamacarsie and out of Apollo’s Enia, a Wells-bred cow that performed very well for me, Kiminichi is DNA tested SV, Myostatin negative, and HOP. She ranks above the breed average for three traits: YG 1%, REA 10%, and CE 35%. Her actual data—REA 75, RUMP 16, RIB 8, and IMF 7.3—are the results I look for. At foot she has a sweet, soft roan heifer CAF, Kimmi, above average for CE and MLK 35% and YG 4%. Kiminichi is joined to Smokin Velvet S190—a performance-driven female backed by her data.
