PROVEN PERFOMANCE ACROSS ALL INDEXES
HERD PERFORMANCE THAT EXCEEDS INDUSTRY STANDARDS
Angus Australia's Genetic Benchmarking Report measures where a herd sits relative to every registered Angus enterprise in Australia - not just our current genetic position, but the rate and direction of improvement over time. For buyers, it answers a simple question: is this program actually getting better?
For Moogenilla, the data says yes - and has been saying it consistently for nearly two decades.
TOP 5 AUSTRALIAN SIRE
Moogenella Quinella Q33
Moogenilla Quinella Q33 was purchased by Rennylea Angus, Pathfinder Angus and Agrigene at the Moogenilla Bull Sale in 2021 for $64,000. He has certainly proven himself as a high performance sire and was listed by Angus Australia as the 5th most widely used sire in the 2023-2024 analysis.
Quinella sons have been topping sales and attracting solid demand in Autumn 2024, including in large scale programs such as Lawsons Angus. Leading Australian seedstock producers have described his sons as being consistent and outstanding in phenotype, including statements such as; “The early growth and muscle stands out at an early age ... no other sire matches the growth curve and elite carcase potential of Moogenilla Quinella Q33.”
Moogenilla Quinella has the heaviest 400 and 600 day weight EBVs of the top 5 sires used in Australia.
Where we sit today
The whole drop of 2024-born Moogenilla V calves rank in the top 37% or better of all registered Angus calves nationally across every one of the ten Profitability Indexes.
The profile behind those rankings reflects exactly what we select for:
High growth without compromise on calving ease or mature frame, high marbling, docility and structural integrity.
birth weight below breed average, gestation length shortest 37%
600-day growth in the top 30% nationally, 400 day top 35% with mature cow weight and height maintained at breed average (55% and 52%)
IMF (marbling) in the top 28%, and carcase weight in the top 27%
The dam herd tells an equally strong story. Moogenilla dams rank in the top 25% nationally for the $A Index - confirmation that the genetic quality of the female herd is driving the results you see in this catalogue.
A long history of measurable progress
Since 2006, the Moogenilla $A Index average has risen from $138 to $232, consistently outpacing breed average improvement across the entire period. Birth weights have trended down while growth and carcase EBVs have trended steadily upward. The gap between the Moogenilla herd trend and the breed average has been widening.
From 2019 to 2024, Moogenilla improved carcase weight faster than the breed average, improved IMF at a rate one third above the breed average, and improved docility by more than double the breed average gain over the same period. The herd's 600-day growth improvement tracked ahead of the breed average. These numbers reflect deliberate, sustained selection pressure on the traits that matter commercially.
