The World Angus Forum, held every four years, is the premier global event for Angus breeders across 26 countries. In May 2025 Angus Australia hosted the global event which attracts participants from all around the world.
Keen to secure genetics from the Flower Cow Family, Merlewood Angus had their sights set on Heart Flower V18 from the moment the Elite Angus Female Sale Catalogue dropped into their mailbox.
“The energy in the ring at the Zoetis Angus EXPO in Tamworth hosting the Elite Angus Female Sale was palpable and so exciting even online.” shared stud principal Anne Marie Barrow.
Her husband, and stud principal, Daniel Barrow agreed. “We were disappointed that we could not get away from the farm for the sale but the online coverage was excellent. We had our trust in our people who are on site and gave us a very detailed feedback of our picks. In the end Heart Flower V18 was a standout out for the Merlewood Angus Breeding Program and the needs of our clients in Greater Gippsland.” Daniel Barrow added “Since she arrived on the farm she has been an absolute delight. We are planning to flush and are looking forward to the results. Heart Flower V18 screams all things black Angus. We know that the Merlewood Flower cow family she will contribute to will be a crowd pleaser.”
Here follows an extract from the Sales Catalogue :
“Elite daughter of Millah Murrah Stormtrooper S235 and grand daughter of Heart Flower J196, Heart Flower V18 is a stunning free moving heifer with beautifully balanced EBVs, impeccable pedigree and true to her name a docile heart.
Heart Flower V18 has renowned cow makers Paratrooper, Klooney and Theo in her pedigree to name but a few. Not to mention that her great grand dam F126 is a donor at both Millah Murrah Angus and Ascot Angus. Royalty all the way, some would say.”
