RAFF DORIS W10 {QRFW10}

Doris W10 is a massive Angus Matron. She was born easily at 37kg and is as an impressive Angus cow as there is. She exceeds a frame score 8 and currently weighs in excess of 900kgs, carrying it with absolute ease. Her milking and udder qualities are second to none.

Her grand-dam was a Heifer Show Champion in the 1980’s and was the cow that went on to advance the Doris Family through to greater success for us after having a half share interest sell when she was just a heifer for $25,000. Sixteen years later she was retired still incredibly sound and athletic.

Her dam Doris S128 has been an outstanding donor who has produced several sires for within herd use. She is sound, fertile and easy doing that breeds well to any sire. A Limited Edition daughter from S128 topped the inaugural Queensland Angus Breeders Female Sale in 2007 with a Limited Edition granddaughter of Doris W10 topping that same sale in 2008. A son of S128 has also been exported to Thailand.

The sire of W10, Raff Ultimate U27, was sold for a Queensland Record in 2002 of $30,000 after being used here for several seasons. He was incredibly sound for such a large bull that combined raw weight with structural integrity, docility and balance. Within his pedigree is the very best of our Burnette lines and stems from the infamous Burnette A22. Raff Doris W10 is an Angus Cow that some people may consider too big to that of a "traditional" Angus cow but we believe that these cows, that keep fertility, temperament, structure and do-ability in check, are what the Angus breed is currently in dire need of.

Congratulations to Greenlands Pastoral Company, Ban Ban, Llangothlin, NSW for purchasing this great matron for $20,000, and special thanks to Ann Starr of Jackson Livestock & Property, Guyra for negotiating the sale.
