View BULLS ON ICE (PDF 3.7mb) - Billa Park Simmentals

Welcome to
Introducing
I would like to welcome you to the latest initiative of the Billa Park team.
Located on the western Darling Downs in
southern Queensland, Billa Park offers access
to both of Australia’s Simmental herd types:
tropical to the north, and temperate to the
south.
BULLS ON ICE
Our semen directory has been a project we have been contemplating for some time,
giving it the serious thought, research, backing and dedication it deserves. We made the
decision to hold its release until we could offer our fellow breeder what could arguably be
the greatest sire bank in Australia; what you see before you is the end result.
As a consolidation of an offering of elitist genetics, we would also like to introduce you to
the Double Bar D Herd from Canada. The Double Bar D herd is one the most noted herds
in Canada and the quality and type of animal they are producing will blend extremely well
with our Australian herd. Billa Park is pleased to announce they will be the sole marketers of
the Double Bar D genetics in Australia and is both delighted and honoured to be
associated with the Dimler Family and Brian Valentine.
“BULLS ON ICE” is the first of what we hope to make an annual release. Simmental breeders
in Australia have never before had access to this number of quality bulls in one publication.
There is a bull here for everyone no matter what trait/s you are chasing. We have handpicked these bulls to ensure that you are able to utilise their genetics without risk. All bulls
come with our highest recommendations and we are pleased to offer them to yourselves
– the Beef and Simmental Breeders of the World.
We would be more than happy to help you with your selection if you require assistance.
In what is a first for the Simmental breed in Australia, Billa Park introduces its online
‘Genetics Store’, where you can purchase semen, embryos and A.I. supplies in a quick
and easy manner, from your computer, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – it’s always open.
Be sure to drop into our website and check out our Shop.
Please take your time to go through our directory and enjoy what the Simmental breed
has to offer.

BILLA PARK SIMMENTALS
While breeding cattle that will suit both markets can be challenging at times, when it all
comes together – the rewards make it all worthwhile.
Owned by the York family, Billa Park Simmentals strive to deliver their motto:
“Guaranteed Performers”.
Billa Park has been using Simmental genetics for over 30 years and while the rise and fall of
the Simmental breed proceeded around them, the passion and the goal of breed improvement never wavered and we are now reaping the rewards of 30 years of hard work in
breeding functional and marketable cattle.
The Billa Park pure-bred herd has grown over the 30 years and now markets in excess of
100 bulls annually at selected sales throughout Queensland.

Double Bar D Farms, of Grenfell, Saskatchewan,
Canada, is proud to have the opportunity to
share our pursuit of excellence in Simmental
genetics.
Established in 2011, Casa Toro is the black and
red division of the Billa Park herd. Owned by
Scott and Claire York, this small but quality
herd is bound to make a huge impact in a few
years time.
Owned by Richard Dimler and sons Ken and Mark, our farm encompasses over 25,000 acres
of crops focused on canola, wheat, barley, corn, and soybeans in addition to our registered
cattle division.
Working with the motto “quality before quantity” has seen the purchase of top priced
females and the use of world leading sires throughout the Casa Toro herd. With their first
fully imported ET calves born in September 2012, the growth and genetic strength of the
Casa Toro herd is sure to leave a lasting impression on the Simmental breed of the future
and the commercial herds of today.
DOUBLE BAR D SIMMENTALS
Simmental cattle have been a passion of Double Bar D since 1972 and have grown to
today’s herd of nearly 1000 females including full-blood Fleckvieh, Black Simmental and
Red Simmental. Each February we host our annual bull and female sale on-farm, selling 150
bulls and a select offering of females.
Thanks to the Billa Park team for the opportunity to offer semen on our elite herd sires to
the outstanding Australian breeders.

CASA TORO SIMMENTALS
The Casa Toro herd is run alongside the Billa Park herd, so performance can be measured in
bigger contemporary groups, giving us greater assurance that their genetics are performing.

POLL CHURCHILL (P)
Without a doubt, Churchill is the most prized animal
in the Billa Park herd.
Never before have we had a bull that has bred as consistently and
true to type. Every year Churchill’s calves find themselves at the top
of their contemporary group.
The sheer power in him is hard to believe but unlike many power
bulls, Churchill has the ability to put down fat.
GOLDRUSH (P)
Churchill son, Billa Park Fair Dinkum F74,
$14,000 top-priced bull of 2012 sale draft.
The “once in a lifetime” bull.
ID:WEEPG061
DOB:09/05/2011
Price:P.O.A.
Goldrush is the current Australian record holder and a bull we at
Billa Park are pleased to call ours. His faultless structure, balance,
smoothness, power and performance immediately draw your
attention.
ID:ZNYPC041
DOB:20/10/2007
Price: $100/Straw + GST (min 10)
With a polled head and great pigment, what more could you ask
for? With 100% South African genetics, Goldrush will be a true
outcross to much of the Simmental herd.
In 2012, 14 sons topped at $14,000 and averaged over $7,200 even
after we retained two other sons for stud duties.
Here’s your chance to use one of the good ones.
A bull we can recommend all day every day, safe and consistent.

Anchor D
THUNDER 273X
Co-owned by: Virginia Ranch, Cremona, AB, Canada
MIDAS 52X
$80,000 high selling bull in Double Bar D 2012
sale.
A bull purchased from the Anchor D herd in
Alberta, Canada.
Double Bar D Thunder 273X is the balanced bull. He is moderate
framed, muscle expressive, sound, eye appealing, and genetically
accumulates an incredible pedigree. Thunder was the 2012 lot one
bull, and earned every dollar in the bidding frenzy. His first calves are
exceeding all of our expectations, with their muscle and balanced
problem free type. Stomping the ground precisely with big, correct
feet and legs, Thunder wasn’t the biggest bull of 2012 at Double Bar D,
but undeniably the most impressive.
Our search for that out-cross blonde bull led us straight to
Midas. His calves are very moderate at birth but their style
and presence is noticeable immediately, and we have been
pleasantly surprised at the growth and hair type of these
calves. You can definitely tell which calves have had the
“Midas Touch”.

Double Bar D
Nickelback 6U
EVEREST 4R (P)
“Cow maker” Everest is an outcross poll bull that
we have been following for a while now.
Unique pedigree...Nickelback has quite a history.
He was bred by a small breeder in the hills of Kentucky, USA,
reared in Texas and then moved 2500 miles to Northern
Alberta. Double Bar D had the opportunity to add him to
their herd sire battery and quickly did so. Massive body,
thick butted, ultra sound feet, huge scrotal and a pedigree
that incorporates iconic sires such as Hackenberg, Hafke,
and Siegfried with foundation cow families best defines
Nickelback.
Horned
ID: 731879 DOB: 30/09/2008 Price: $50/Straw (min 5)
When we imported our Midas semen, we thought we’d
venture out and try Everest 4R also. We are now giving
you the chance to obtain a genetic mix that’s hard to find
elsewhere. Everest sold in 2006 for $61,500 CAD and strong
progeny sales have justified his price tag. Don’t miss your
chance to score a polled full-blood bull not carrying
Eisenherz or Zimbo blood. His first calves have impressed
us with their pigment and performance.

Lot ONE in the Double Bar D 2010 sale.
Autobahn exemplifies the genetic pursuit of combining
great cow families. His dam has had a huge impact on the
DBD herd. He is sired by Double Bar D Adonis 603N and has
proven himself as the most prolific son of the foundation
sire Solway Adonis. Autobahn is above average in frame and
performance. His calves are extreme in length of body and
bone structure. His pelvis and hip design indicate
tremendous maternal calving ease and productiveness.
