Mill Brae Benchmark 9016
S: Connealy Confidence Plus | D: Mill Brae Joanie 3063 | Breeder: Mill Brae Angus, USA
3R sourced Benchmark directly out of the USA and market him in Australia through our Beefgen company and likewise throughout South America through our Urugen sister company. Benchmark is an exciting prospect who is creating great interest in the USA. He is bold in his phenotype yet features genuine performance (calving ease & gain). He is good footed and extra wide based with a big thick top. A really impressive frame 6+ bull in the flesh. Add to Benchmark's attractive phenotype is a tremendous dam line of model Angus females while sire, Confidence Plus, is producing a raft of sons to stud and very productive daughters. From phenotype, performance & pedigree Benchmark is very difficult to match.
The dam of Benchmark recently sold to $75,000 as a mature cow in the 2022 Montana Angus Maternal Revival sale with a maternal brother selling to $180,000 for a 1/2 share. A maternal brother, Montana Jake, was purchased by 3R in partnership. Jake will follow on from Benchmark and the success of the Joanie line at 3R. Jake will be used in the stud herd and on heifer breeding programs.
