When speaking about Lot 3 before the sale Injemira principal Marc Greening said lot 3 was a brother to other Kickstart P093 sons which “set the sale ring alight in 2022” Injemira sale.
“This sire is as good in everyway as his brothers last year,” Mr Greening said.
“He was another heifers first calf that really takes your eye.
“He is so full of meat, combined with soft finishing ability on a very sound structure and his data set and pedigree are all quality.
“That data has calving ease, huge growth and muscle, both of which are in the top 1 per cent of the breed.
“I had rated him as a certain stud sire candidate that could be used on heifers or cows.”
