Current Palgrove Charolais Sires

Red Rock was retained and is everything we look for in a modern day Charolais bull – medium framed, thick as a brick, easy fleshing with the added sire appeal.

He has bred in predictability in his pedigree combining Next Gen over a Holster daughter. Used heavily as a walking sire and AI in the spring of 2022.

One of the feature bulls in our 2022 record breaking sale where he sold for $100,000.

We have used Rockerfella heavily in AI for the spring 2022 join – We love his carcase shape and softness, he’s deep ribbed; thick butted with that strength of head and fleshing that is difficult to find in a homozygous polled package.

We considered Platinum the ‘complete package’ when he sold in 2021 for $48,000. He’s medium framed, thick butted with that natural balance and constitution you expect in a top breeding bull.

His combination of Hallmark over a Bond daughter has clicked perfectly. His first sons sell in 2023 and they will feature in both our Hunter Valley and Annual Sale drafts, you won’t miss them!!

Natural balance, softness and a real ‘sires presence’ indicates that Raffa has a big future in the Charolais breed. Homozygous Polled, with a fantastic skin and impressive hindquarter expression. His EBV’s do not lie, a high growth sire, who weighed in the top % of his contemporary at both 200D, 400D and in the prep for sale.
