BREEDERS OF QUALITY BEEF TYPE GREY BRAHMANS
PB Fenech
breeders of quality beef type grey brahmans
Welcome to the PB Fenech Herd Brief.
We are inspired by the progress of the PB Fenech Breeding Program. The in house Sires that we’ve retained and are using in the Breeding Program are breeding high quality
progeny with complementary genetic variation. With the past influential imported genetics, powered by our core female cow herd, PB Fenech progeny have the future in hand.
The PB Fenech program recognizes the superior value of quality seedstock, whilst not losing sight of the significant contributor to the Beef Industry, the Commercial Cattleman.
To produce the superior animal, we select for highly fertile females that reproduce annually. We are always conscious of the diverse markets the commercial cattleman breed
for. Year after year, PB Fenech is making efficiencies in genetic traits, whilst maintaining a line bred Brahman that is true to type and visually appealing.
The PB Fenech breeding practice is commercially focussed. It is always our aim to produce superior genetically powered sires that accommodate the commercial cattleman
as well as the astute stud master.
At the core of the PB Fenech program is Fertility in the Cow Herd. There can be no compromise in this regard. Temperament is vital and is a key attribute of any cow that earns
her place in the breeding herd. The structural soundness of any animal is as important as fertility and temperament. Structural soundness starts from the ground up. Feet, legs,
udder and teat placement with an overall good constitution.
A tremendous amount of time, effort, resources and careful evaluation establishes the nucleus of our Brahman herd, and it is constantly evolving. The cattle represented on
these pages reflect selections of superior genetics. We have taken the time and travelled the world to research Brahman Genetics for 30 years. PB Fenech utilises a wide range
of sires, from high performing sires, to middle of the road producing sires.
The Natural doing ability of an animal, will hold it in good stead in harsh conditions, and excel it on lush pastures.
Good constitution backed up by consistent producing cow families multiply and emphasise the assets of a herd
that can supply many markets and conditions.
PB Fenech continuously strives to use the best genetics to produce the cattle that the Beef Industry of today
demands. A line up of sale sires or paddock bulls to satisfy the requirements of the discerning stud master
to the steer producer to the bullock breeder. Our aim is to ensure PB Fenech cattle will excel in any required
environment.
We welcome you to visit our array of Sale Bulls and Breeding Program.

Established breeding lines are the basis of the PB Fenech Breeding Program. Strong, undiluted foundation dams of superior
beef-type Brahman Genetics are multiplied boldly.
At PB Fenech, we have an aggressive and well balanced Breeding Program based on maximising each cow’s own merits.
Each animal must perform each season to maintain their place in the herd. We believe fertility, structural soundness,
mothering ability and consistent quality of progeny are the most significant attributes on which to classify the cow herd.
Any female that does not pass these tests is culled vigorously.

mcmanus progeny
M c M a n us a Sire that’s destined to impact the Brahman
world. The Bull calves by McManus are strong and
have that Sire Type about them; the daughters are of
high quality. Their extra length, natural thickness and
breed character give them a strong appeal that they’re
going to breed on. The McManus daughters will carry
and improve many genetic lines into the future.
As babies, McManus progeny have that special look
and type about them. Their strong bone structure
develops early, the muscle progression is fascinating.
The hind quarters are long, deep and square from
hip to pin, the muscle expression carries well down
into the stifle. And their extra-long heavy muscled
tops are a consistent attribute amongst the McManus
offspring.
McManus’ ability to produce a high quality eyeappealing calf from a lesser quality cow is sure to
dominate. The Proudness, Straight Lines as well as
the aforementioned attributes, just set his progeny
apart from the rest.
His first crop of daughters was bred Spring 2014. They
were bred between 14 – 18 months of age. It was
pleasing to see the McManus daughters reaching early
maturity and able to be mated at such a young age.
His first calf born was out of a Paddy Boy cow PBF
Rosalynn Manso 5/8 - he weighed 37kgs and was one
of the prettiest calves I’ve seen. He had good bone,
defined breed character and was strong. We named
the first bull born McCheeko and he has gotten better
and better as he ages. We have retained him as a Sire
and bred him to 10 heifers at 18mths.
With such quality progeny at this early stage in a Sires’
breeding life, its surely a confidence booster for the
Longer Term Breeding Program for the operation. Sires
of McManus breeding quality don’t come along too
often. A Sire of this dominance will last in a breeding
program for many many generations.
“In the three decades
I’ve been breeding,
researching and
keenly analysing
Brahman genetics here
in Australia, USA
and several overseas
countries, I’ve never
been so inspired by a
Sire’s progeny . ”

An above medium framed sire with
strong bone and heavy muscling. Western
expresses the breed character and
pigmentation that the Brahman breed calls
for. He has tremendous thickness and depth
of hindquarter with overall good body
capacity. Correct feet and leg structure.
The Western progeny have correctness,
fabulous muscle, pigment and consistent
breed type that their Sire possesses.

Sire Selection Philosophies
His smoothness, length of body, roomy spring of rib, and overall excellent
body capacity has to be seen. McCheeko has excellent testicular
development for his age. These are some of the strong features in this
young sire prospect.
The natural thickness of muscle from right behind the hump along his
back, then through his smooth long hip to pin and thick hindquarter with
that depth of muscle going down the lower quarter into his stifle area, clean
straight lines coupled with heavy bone - “that’s Cheeko”

“He’s the most complete,
powerful, young bull
I’ve ever come across. ”
Paul Fenech
•Progression
•Strength within Individual Type
“The official breed character” he displays along with the characteristic
hump, and hump placement that the McManus offspring exhibit is to
be admired. McCheeko’s looseness of skin coupled with a light clean
sheath and underline is another highlight. A beautiful kind nature with an
unbelievable sires outlook and presence is also a feature of this young sire
in the making. We bred McCheeko at 18 months to a hand full of heifers.
The way he settled them we could have easily bred him to several handfuls.
We can’t wait to see what comes of his limited first crop of calves. We plan
to use McCheeko in our IVF program. With the geno and pheno type mixture
he has, we are excited about what’s to
come from this young Sire.
