OPEN DAY — SATURDAY 12 SEPTEMBER - 11 till 2

We’ve shown you the photos, shared the figures and talked about the breeding behind this year’s sale team.

Now it’s time to come and see them for yourself.

Ahead of our Spring Bull Sale on Tuesday, we’re opening the gates this Saturday from 11am–2pm for anyone wanting to inspect the 18 bulls on offer.

Take your time, walk through the bulls and have a look at the different types and sire lines available.

Most importantly, work out which bulls suit your cows and what you’re trying to achieve in your herd.

There’s only so much a photo, catalogue or set of EBVs can tell you. We think cattle are best judged standing in front of you.

Saturday 12 September | 11am–2pm

Come along, have a look through the team and inspect your next sire.

Everyone welcome.

WHAT DOES YOUR NEXT SIRE NEED TO DO?

Bull selection isn't about finding the bull with the most impressive number in the catalogue.

It's about knowing your cows, knowing your market and being clear about where you want your herd to go next.

Most established herds already have plenty of things they're doing well. The challenge is identifying where the next sire can make a genuine improvement without giving away the traits you've spent years building.

More growth might be the objective — but how much birth weight are you prepared to accept?
More IMF might be desirable — but not if it comes at the expense of the growth and performance your herd relies on.
More calving ease might be required — but can you find it while maintaining enough performance?

And the numbers are only part of the decision. Structure, movement, thickness, capacity, temperament and the cow family behind a bull still matter.

That's where we believe good sire selection becomes less about chasing individual traits and more about finding balance for your particular breeding program.

With 18 bulls selling at BarnettAngus on September 15, we're not going to tell you which one is the right bull.

You know your cows better than we do.

Look through the catalogue. Identify the bulls that fit your objectives. Then come and inspect them and see whether the cattle match what you're seeing on paper.

What does your next sire need to do?

Its a strong average !
HOW MUCH CARCASE CAN YOU ADD WITHOUT GIVING UP GROWTH?

It’s a question that has shaped a lot of our breeding decisions at BarnettAngus.

For us, growth remains a must.
Commercial cattle need the ability to put kilos on early and continue performing through to 600 days. But we don’t believe those kilos should come at the expense of what sits underneath them.

Carcase still matters.

That’s why we’re particularly pleased with the averages across this year’s entire 18-bull sale team.

Strong growth from 200 through to 600 days, combined with an average +88 Carcase Weight, +8.0 EMA and +4.4 IMF.

The average of all 18.

We think that's an important distinction.

There are different bulls in this sale to suit different cows and different breeding objectives. We’ll leave it to you to decide which ones suit yours.

Take a look through the catalogue and judge the team for yourself.

LOT 3 — BARNETT TITUS W16

A FAVOURITE TITUS SON.

W16 is a bull we have particularly enjoyed throughout his development.

He has the well-tempered nature we value so highly, combined with the soft muscle pattern, a strong top and natural balance that make him such an appealing young sire prospect. In many ways, he reminds us strongly of his sire, Barnett Titus T17.

W16 also brings an outstanding growth profile:

Top 1% — 200 Day Weight
Top 1% — 400 Day Weight
Top 1% — 600 Day Weight

To rank in the Top 1% of the Angus breed across every measured growth interval is an exceptional performance profile — and exactly the sort of growth we have been working to build into the BarnettAngus program.

He also carries +4.1 IMF, adding carcase quality to his impressive growth credentials.

His dam, Barnett Rosebud S606, is a purchased Rosebud daughter from Circle8 Angus. S606 is a big-framed, beautiful cow with the type, scale and presence that make her such a valuable part of W16’s pedigree. Her contribution adds further depth to this young bull’s growth, balance and overall sire appeal.

W16 opens our run of five Barnett Titus T17 sons, selling as Lots 3–7. He is a personal favourite — not only for what his figures show, but for the temperament, softness, sire likeness and strong dam line he displays every day.

Lot 3 — Barnett Titus W16.

LOT 2 — BARNETT WORKHORSE W11

THICK. NATURAL. IMPRESSIVE.

W11 is one of those bulls that caught our eye from an early age and has continued to impress as he has developed.

His name, Barnett Workhorse, was chosen because he is built to do exactly that — work. He combines exceptional thickness, natural power and tremendous capacity with the soundness, mobility and balance needed to perform in a commercial breeding program.

W11 is exceptionally thick, with real width from behind, plenty across the top and tremendous capacity through his body.

For all that power, he remains a well-balanced, easy-moving bull, getting around freely and carrying himself exceptionally well.

He has the presence of a sire and represents exactly the type of bull we like to breed at BarnettAngus: natural thickness, power, functionality and the ability to get out and work.

Barnett Workhorse W11 — built for the job.

Lot 2 for a reason.

**LOT 1 — BARNETT BEASTMODE W39**

There’s a reason Barnett Beastmode W39 leads off the 2026 BarnettAngus Spring Bull Sale.

A bull we’ve rated highly from the start, W39 combines the natural thickness, capacity and doing ability we’re looking to breed — with the performance to back it up.

• Top 2% — 200 Day Weight
• Top 3% — 400 Day Weight
• Top 2% — 600 Day Weight
• Top 6% — Carcase Weight
• Top 2% — Claw Set
• Top 6% — Foot Angle
• Top 23% — Docility
• Top 7% — Days to Calving and Scrotal

And there’s plenty behind him on the maternal side.

His maternal sister has been retained at BarnettAngus as a future donor, while their dam has proven herself to be donor-quality, producing standout natural progeny.

For us, that consistency within a cow family matters. W39 isn’t simply an impressive individual — he comes from a female line we’re investing in ourselves.

**Lot 1 for a reason.**
