         Comments: In my 40 years of breeding cattle this sire has created a greater impact on his progeny than I have ever witnessed before
         at Merchiston. More progeny make the two sale teams and are retained for breeding than we have seen before. They are sound, quiet
         cattle that perform like no other I have been involved with. They have moderated birth for a larger framed bull, fatten easily and weigh as
         per the performance data but still retain a softness and positive fats, very unusual for a sire of his type.
         My summation of this bull is that every commercial breeder should have some of this blood in their herds, given the impact he has had
         here at Hunterville and at Rangiwahia.
         OR is it any wonder that he is a true breeding bull given that his pedigree involves debatably  A+
         two of the most prominent herds in Australia - Te Mania and Millah Murrah.
         Te Mania Emperor is still one of ABs Australias leading semen sale sires after many years
         of selling his semen, and the Millah Murrah herd keeps breaking Australian record prices   Selection Index Values
