SIRES
NINDETHANA KENSINGTON (PP) D5
Kensington (RSVP Jackpot/Nindethana Hazel) was retained for stud duties in 2020. An early maturing calf with exceptional weight for age, Kensington was an evolving package of everything we had been searching for in others. He is as long as a train and has incredible bone and muscling, tremendous depth, a beautiful sire’s head, and a lovely tropical coat. His temperament is truly second to none. Kensington launched onto the show circuit in 2019 and at 11 months of age, was awarded the Junior Champion Droughtmaster Bull at the Royal Queensland Show. COVID-19 cut short his potential to shine further in the showring however, his potential as a sire has been well and truly realised. Kensington’s first sons will be offered for sale this spring.
RONDEL WHISKEY (PP) D5
Rondel Whiskey (Wajatryn 2338 Knightly/Rondel Skittles) was purchased in partnership at the 2020 National Droughtmaster Sale for $160,000. He was, in our mind, genetically and phenotypically perfect! At 21 months of age, Whiskey weighted 836kg and boasted an EMA of 142cms and scrotal circumference of 39cms. He has tremendous length, bone, muscle, and skin and an underline that is clean and tidy. His stunning head, broad muzzle and heavily hooded eye sets him apart from others and strengthens his appeal as a stud sire. To round off this perfect package, he has an extraordinary temperament and unique personality. Since purchase, Whiskey has developed into a massive bull, producing an impressive line of sons and daughters. His first son, offered from the High Country stable, sold for $50,000 and daughter for $11,000.

She is a moderately framed, easy doing female with a good udder and a bomb proof temperament. Jello has had three calves in three years: a steer, Nutcracker, and a weaner bull who is a full brother to Nutcracker. She is back in calf to Kensington and due late September.
