Herd Sires
This page showcases some recent herd sires that will drive the Eaglehawk herd over the next few years.
We regularly travel to the United States to personally search for and inspect potential sires that will add value to and enhance our genetics and then by association, our clients herds, so these sires are what we regard as the most up to date, world’s best Angus Sires. For instance, the bull’s progeny and the breeding program from where they have originated is visited and assessed for suitability to Australian production systems and environment.
The maternal strength in a bulls pedigree is paramount to our decisions. As a result we have the added confidence the bulls have brought excellent balanced genetic profiles, phenotype and performance to the Eaglehawk cow herd with the depth of pedigree we insist on to use over our cows.
Our aim is to give our customers the best genetic advantage we possibly can to keep driving forward.

Stunner is an extremely stylish, well balanced bull. He has the deep sided and thick topped body shape we desire in a performance heifer and cow bull. He comes from a super maternal pedigree that will not fail the person who breeds their own replacement herd. His daughters are stylish, roomy with great udders, just the type of cow you love to own. He isn’t too shabby on breeding thick, fast growing heavy steer calves also.
He is structurally correct to boot. This is a must for a sire in our herd. On the figure side his production traits rank in the top of the breed.
VISION UNANIMOUS 1418
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
VISION UNANIMOUS has combined explosive performance, moderate frame, outstanding carcase profile in an exceptional phenotype and structure. He comes from a very strong cow herd. This is reinforced when you see his female progeny. We have been super impressed with the structure, depth, softness and performance of all Unanimous progeny. He provides high performance while maintaining the muscle shape and thickness we all need more of. Unanimous has a big solid foot with lots of heel and an impeccable structure.
We first saw him in Montana in 2015 and again in 2019. As an 8 year old his feet and legs were still excellent which is impressive given his mass.
MUSGRAVE APACHE
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
Musgrave Apache has a unique blend of style, structure and muscle. He is making a real name for himself as a cowmaker sire.
The photo of Apache we have here was taken as a yearling. Even at this young age you can see the smooth muscling and structure he displays. He also offers the flexibility of being heifer safe with loads of eye appeal to his calves and standout performance. We are very happy to carry on the Musgrave Apache bloodline in the Eaglehawk herd as the Musgrave cowherd is one of the best we have seen. The replacement females are like peas in a pod and have developed with consistency and style.

BASIN PAYWEIGHT 1682 appeals across the board. You can’t help but be impressed by his extreme body mass and depth while carrying this load on great feet and legs. Phenotypically he breeds true, passing on neat udders, easy fleshing and the broody cow look to his females while the male progeny display the easy fleshing and phenotype of their sire in combination with elite growth that makes them so sought after in the saleyards. Few bulls that are built like Payweight offer calving ease- but he does.

We signed off on using Double Vision after visiting Nick Jindra and going through his program and seeing Double Vision’s mother and progeny.

KOUPAL KOZI 418
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
(EXCLUSIVE TO EAGLEHAWK)
This unique herd sire breeds very consistently wide topped, naturally deep, thick carcase cattle. He would be considered an outcross to the majority of breeders in Australia which is a positive. He is a true curve bending bull as his calves are generally light and then they explode to the top of the group by 400 days. If you need to thicken your herd whilst keeping the cows feminine (with the added bonus of great udders), Kozi will do this. We have the only Kozi calves in Australia and he is now deceased. We really like how he has influenced our cow herd. If you are looking to thicken your herd and inject some strong maternal traits, you cannot go wrong.
SAV RESOURCE 1441
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
The Eaglehawk herd has been injecting the SAV genetics for sixteen years now and with great success. Using SAV Resource 1441 felt very comfortable as we were familiar and confident with the Schaff program (North Dakota). We saw Resource in 2014 and really liked him, since then we have seen hundreds of progeny in the USA. He injects the best of the Rito 707 bloodlines, which we hadn’t used before, and they have blended nicely with our herd. Resource consistently stamps his progeny with thickness, muscle, great structure and feet. This is wrapped in a moderate naturally easy fleshing and docile package. If you are looking to add muscle and weight into your calves, this is your bull. We love the way his bull calves are very muscular and masculine and his females are shaping to be the loveliest females with great udders and broody outlook.
SANDPOINT FIRESTORM Y400
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
Such an exciting find from our 2015 trip to the USA. And exclusive to Eaglehawk! Firestorm has exceeded our best expectations. He is a true calving ease sire that produces calves that are thick topped, deep sided, with a beautiful muscle pattern and lovely slick hair type. With a big ribeye and positive fat adding to doing ability he ticks pretty much all the boxes we are looking for. He is an outcross to pretty much all the genetics currently being used in the angus breed. Great bull.
EAGLEHAWK BIG SKY M95
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
EAGLEHAWK BIG SKY M95 was our sire selection from the 2016 bull calf crop. From the start he exhibited the type of growth and muscle development that made him an attractive sire proposition. He has gone on to breed thickness, length and depth in all his progeny. His daughters combine those attributes whilst being feminine and extremely good structurally. His sons in the sale are much the same as he is, balancing muscle, and bone in an attractive easy doing package with great structure and athleticism.
EAGLEHAWK UNANIMOUS M46
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
M46 is a great Vision Unanimous son that possesses the ability to add shape, structure, length of body and frame. This is kind of bull that processes that “able to do everything well” ability. He is out of one of our favourite SAV Predominant donor cows. She is still breeding at 11 years of age. We rate longevity as being critical for profit and sustainability. The Unanimous M46 sons will leave you with structurally correct long term matrons for your breeding herd.
EAGLEHAWK GODFATHER K159
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
Stout, thick, deep. Godfather is all of these things and more. He has produced progeny that are wide based, dense, and consistent. He will leave you with daughters that are easy fleshing with great bone and structure with beautiful udders. You only have to stand over his progeny in the race to see how much thickness he has instilled. His sons will certainly thrive in pretty much any environment, tough or otherwise.
MAR INNOVATION 251
”PEDIGREE
”MORE
Using MAR Innovation as one of our herd sires is a decision that we won’t regret. When we saw him in 2015 we were impressed, but after watching our calves grow out and then seeing him again last year, in Billings Montana, still great footed and sound despite his bulk we knew we had made a good call. He has incredible body capacity, spring of rib, easy moving, and great feet and legs. He is an instant eye please. Data collected has him in the top 5% for Eye Muscle Area and weaning weight and top 15% for carcase weight.
EAGLEHAWK RINGMASTER K288
”PEDIGREE

Ringmaster carries some extra power, he is deep sided and thich topped. we selected hi as the high performing growth and carcase bull of his year. his dam is one of the softest, thickest and most correct females in the herd. moderate birth weight with top 10% growth performance across the board. top 15% of the breed for carcase weight and still has fat cover in the top 25% of the breed for that doing ability we so sorely need.

Romeo is a solid, strong, deep bodied, sure footed son of the phenomenal sire Connealy Consensus 7229. we introduced 7229 having seen his mother and some fanstastic progeny on one of our US Trips.

BPF SPECIAL FOCUS
”PEDIGREE

In 2011 in Billings Montana, we found one of the most outstanding individuals we have seen. Special Focus combines natural thickness and muscle with good bone and movement. His calves are light at birth and have explosive growth. We bred his first calves in Australia last year.

”PEDIGREE

004 was the main bull behind the building of the magnificent Schaffs Angus Valley cow herd. The 004 cows in production there are arguably some of the best angus cows in the world. So we took a step back and introduced him as a herd sire for Eaglehawk. Phenotypically, one of the most balanced sires in the breed with extra muscularity and base width.

Millionaire is low birth, high growth, and with a tonne of thickness. He has an exceptionally good set of EBV’s right through maternal, growth and carcase. To look at you just know that he will back these figures up. His pedigree is a who’s who of modern carcase and maternal genetics.
