| History
of the Ronick Herd - Bulls |
 |
 |
Oakley Tavy |
Our stock
bulls have been carefully selected throughout
the years.
Our first stock bull Goldies Rascal by Osiris
was first spotted as a prizewinner at the
1981 International Limousin Congress show.
He was later purchased at Carlisle in October
1981 for 8000gns.
Our next herd sire Oakley
Tavy was purchased at Banbury in October
1983 for 5000gns. He won 1 st Junior Bull
RASE 1983 and 3 rd Intermediate Class RHS
1984. He was by Oakley Politician out of
Oakley Princess who was sold to the USA for
35,000gns.
After drastically losing Tavy when a nail
punctured his main artery in his stomach,
we purchased a half share in Talent for
8000gns at the Uplands sale in 1986. Talent
provided one of the highlights of David’s
career on the show circuit by winning Breed
Champion at the Royal Show in 1988 and being
a member of the Reserve Team for the Burke
Trophy resulting in David meeting Princess
Diana. Click

Our next stock bull was Fleethill
Ace who was 1st Junior Bull Class, Beef
Recorded Class and Beef Indexed Class at
the Royal Show in 1986 as well as being breed
Champion at various local shows in 1987.
Next was Broadmeadows
Cannon who was purchased form Matt Ridley
privately in 1991 and is currently the most
prolific pedigree sire in the Limousin breed
having sired over 2600 calves to date. His
first calf Ronick
Hawk was sold privately to Genus in 1994
and is now the second most prolific sire
in the breed having sired over 2100 calves
to date. In 1992 we imported the French bred
bull Gaspard he was the top scoring bull
in Lanaud at that time and brought in a new
bloodline to the herd. His most famous daughter
is the renowned show cow Ronick
Janita.
Our next stock bulls were two sons of Broadmeadows
Ainsi namely Ronick
Gains by Talent and Ronick
Idol by Tarvis. Other stock bulls we
have used to date include Ronick Aaron (an
Oakley Tavy son), Calice (who was owned in
partnership with John Powner), Allanfauld
Eagle (a Talent son), Edwards Interest (purchased
for 12,000gns), Newhouse
Leigh (a Gaulois son purchased for 12,000
gns Perth Oct. 1996), Ronick Luke (a Broadmeadows
Cannon son) and Goldies Porterhouse (a Malibar
son).
