Australia resulting from embryos taken by Billy McIndoe were a better than
even match for the Australians, providing several successes there.
Ervie Classic S30's calves are easy calving and small, which is compensated
by their growth rate. Some of our most attractive cattle are by Ervie
Classic Lad S30.

heifers - therefore used regularly at Allowdale Herefords. In particular, we
have found that he crossed very well with the Badlingham Curly line of

GH Adams 144S Bulge 138W (GHZ) was selected was
selected by the Irish Hereford Society
Breed Improvement
Program in 2011.
Born January 2009 “Bulge” was Reserve Grand Champion at the Canadian National 2009. His sire “Shadow” was Grand Champion at Farmfair and Reserve Champion at Agribition.
Grant Hirsche of breeder Adams Hirsche describing “Bulge” in the on property sale catalogue stated the following “We have never had 2 calves as strong and powerful as lot 1 and 2. Both of these great calves are sired by Shadow, “Nugget” being polled and “Bulge” is straight horned with no polled in his pedigree. Many feel “Bulge” is as good as Rambo at this age. I wouldn’t argue, but would add that he is more moderate and maybe even shows more muscle expression early in his life. Many have commented on his tremendous thickness and ease of movement. He tracks really wide and always stops with all 4 corners wide and strong like they should be. As an added bonus, he is in the top 20% for REA and top 40% for IMF. The more I am in this business, the more amazed I am that great pedigrees keep showing up time after time in the good ones. We have established 45L as a great breeding bull with sons like Neon, Twister, Gordo, and last year’s top bull Stanley 286U. Now we see his daughters putting that same punch into their calves. Bulge’s dam is a great one out of a perfect uddered cow we got from Floyd and Daryl Anderson. She produced many show winners for us. 552S has a perfect udder and could easy be a show cow. She’s definitely a front pasture cow. We feel that Bulge has a lot to offer and is one of the most complete Herd Bull Prospects to sell at Adams Hirsche. We will be talking a lot about him for many years to come. A half interest was sold on sale day at Ca $14,500 to Little Fort Herefords.
This bull is in the top 1% of the breed in Canada for Weaning Weight and Yearling Weight and in the top 4% for Rib Eye Area. His birth weight 39kgs.
GH Adams 144S Bulge 138Ws first calves
were born July
2011, they are good lengthy and growthy calves. They are structuraly correct
, the only drawback is that they can be light in colour, therefore we are
focusing on using GH Adams 144S Bulge 138W on our darker cows.

dam in the herd’s ET program and has eleven daughters retained in the
Mawarra Hereford herd.

have opted to use Mawarra Sentimental ET1 on a number of our larger cows and
we found his calves to be larger than desired for our market. They are
impressive cattle and the first bull sold in 2012 was a Mawarra Sentimental
ET1 calf.
