Straws – Red Stag

5 yr comments:
763 at 5 year with 45.2 inch main beams, 20 inch T1s, Quad furcated 23 inch T3s left and right. 33 inch span rounds off a pretty good picture. Antiochus the Great is from the first crop of Zafarai DG sons out of a Leonides DG daughter.

Dam 5124 has produced 3 stags all of which have made the top 2% of their age groups. 2009 son Caberra sired by Hannibal DG and exported by us to Argentina as a 2 year old. 2010 son 0209, D’Archiac, sold through our stag sale and 2011 son Phantasos. Unfortunately Phantasos is the end of the line as Dam 5124 passed away last winter, we have no daughters from 5124 but have one more son to come this year by Huneric DG.

Gran Dam 3013 has produced 4 sons, some by ET and they have all made our stag sale, quite astonishing really considering that we only sell 25 2 year stags each year. Gran dam 3013’s daughters are also producing consistently good sons as is evident by Hilderic in this catalogue. One of our current breeding objectives in our herd in New Zealand is to get Dam 3013 into as many of our hinds as we can, either by sons as in Phantasos, D’Archiac and Hilderic, or through ET programmes on her daughters. A stunning son of Morpheus DG coupled with Odysseus DG on his dam’s side gives huge potential as a top trophy sire for the future. Scored well at 273 with 4.60kg HA cut as a spiker and improved to a score of 418 and 8.32kg HA at 2yrs. A great opportunity here to radically improve your trophy herd in the future.
