Augustus DG – Torana / 223Adonis. Augustus is a half brother to Hadrian DG, the only other stag that 223 has produced. 3 years ago, Hadrian scored 457 @ 5yrs, and was multi pointed. We reckon with 223 genetics for points and Torana genetics for width and length, Augustus sons will produce wide multi pointed heads.

Karma is a Carmichael son, and will also put width into your herd. A Hannibal DG over 200 was one of our stop spikers this year, which shows the strength of this dam line.

We have been fortunate to secure 8 Tamar straws and offer them for sale. Tamar has left some very impressive, heavy antlered progeny and with all his straws sold, these straws will be sought after and will sell very quickly.

Sires scored by Duncan Fraser from Mt Cecil Trophy Deer Stud on 19 Jan 2010. 2 year stags were still growing at that stage so their scores are estimates and we expect them to score more when they hare stripped.
