Purchased from the Noller family at their 2001 sale. We admired him for his depth, capacity, boneing and structural correctness. His male progeny have consistently sold well in our sales and his females are among probably some of our framier cows. He also sired the 2006 Sydney Royal Interbreed Cow ( Minnie Vale Quist) as well as the Minnie Vale 2008 show cow reamer (A50E) He has left us with some roomy matrons which will no doubt continue to pop up in the bloodlines in future pedigrees and sale cattle. Uncle Bill is no longer with us but has served us well.
