Glatz Black Angus – Robust Black Bulls
Glatz Black Angus’ 2026 Autumn bull sale will be held at 1pm on Wednesday February 18, on-property (“Coroona”, 299 Caroona Lane, Branxholme, Vic, 3302).
Glatz Black Angus (GBA) bulls are Angus cattle the way they should be: Problem-free; high-performance; structurally sound, and docile.
Glatz bulls are generationally bred to be more robust, muscular, and profit driven in comparison to some Angus cattle of today.
These black bulls are ideally suited to self-replacing weaner producers whose calves are easily finished on grass or short-term grain.
In weaner sales, AuctionsPlus sales, and PTIC female offerings, Glatz-bred cattle consistently lead the way. These are the sound reasons why forward-thinking cattle breeders continually look to Glatz Black Angus as their preferred genetic partner.
Glatz blood steers have also achieved the highest honor in MSA’s own ‘Excellence in Eating Quality’ award. These 200 steers were ranked #1 across MSA Compliance, MSA Index and MSA Marble Score criteria.
That analysis was conducted over a two-year delivery period, and included consignments from 760 MSA registered producers.
Whether finished on grass or short-term grain, Glatz bulls produce male offspring that quickly and efficiently reach a premium, high MSA indexing 300kg-350kg finished carcase.
Meanwhile, GBA’s female offspring can advance your self-replacing herd forward. These replacement females are proven to perform well under heavy stocking rates, and are medium-framed, easy-keeping, and productive.
Important production traits like fertility, milk, and docility are never compromised. After all, selection for conformation and type are non-negotiable aspects of all breeding decisions.
The Glatz Black Angus stud female herd is maternally strong, sound-structured and hardy. All heifers are joined as yearlings.
The herd grazes dry-land Phalaris, Ryegrass, Fescue and Sub clover pastures at a minimum stocking rate of 30DSE/ha.
All stock experience significant nutritional pressure throughout Autumn and Winter.
The Glatz Black Angus 2026 Cattleman’s Bull Sale will showcase uniform and impressive sons from the following sires:
Ellingson Rangeland

The GBA sale catalogues will again include their own innovative data analysis: All bulls will be displayed with Glatzs’ Key Performance Indicator “KPI”.
