We regretfully sold JAD Sunday Silence S27 (JAD S27) at our 2023 JAD Sale, with him being purchased for $20,000 by repeat clients from Central QLD. He was a bull that Justin always really admired and really didn’t want to sell! When his new owners decided to retire from agriculture in early 2024 and sell their property, we were very fortunate to be given the opportunity to bring Sunday Silence back to his first home.
Sunday Silence is bred out of one of the best stud cows on our property and is sired by another very successful sire in our… Continue reading →

We purchased Minnamurra Tulsa (MPC T70) as the $24,000 top-priced bull of the 2024 Minnamurra on-property bull sale. He is sired by JAD Nosey Jack N13, who was a leader in his contemporary group here at JAD prior to his sale to Minnamurra at the inaugural JAD sale in 2019. Nosey Jack has gone on to breed very well for Minnamurra, which all contributed to the appeal of his son, Tulsa. Tulsa is:
- Incredibly docile
- Excellent structure
- Balanced dataset
We used Tulsa as an AI sire and back-up bull over stud heifers in late 2024, and he came through joining… Continue reading →

JAD The Marshall T87 (JAD T87) is arguably the most complete sire we have bred to date. The Marshall weighed in at 917kg at 26 months old, off grass only, after being used as a yearling. His first progeny were born in Spring 2024. They are consistently the most impressive calves in each mob.
The Marshall shares maternal genetics with our other star sire, JAD Quistacat Q48. Quistacat’s dam, JSF Paddy 34D, is The Marshall’s maternal granddam. We sold The Marshall’s dam, JAD 24E Paddy Q38, at our 2021 JAD Sale for $22,000, and later purchased her back… Continue reading →
