Brother to Sprys Extra Special!
We were very pleased to be able to secure this Tasmanian born bull in 2024. He was bred by Reg and Rebecca Woodiwiss at their Royston stud, Sunnyside.
In 2023, we visited various Tasmanian Studs as part of the Shorthorn Beef Board tour organised by Reg Woodiwiss. We were very impressed with the Royston cattle.
TNT is a full ET brother to the sensational sire, Sprys Extra Special N61, who sold for $44,000 to Outback Shorthorns and is ‘breeding the house down’, according to Gerald Spry. Extra Special’s daughter sold for $51,000 at Dubbo.
Both Extra Special and TNT are by Canadian Supersire, Muridale Thermal Energy and have excellent EPDs. TNT is top 2% for marbling which is backed up by excellent raw scanning data.
At the 2026 Naracoorte Sale, a son of Extra Special brought the second top price at the auction. Caskieben Special V82, an upstanding red bull, sold to the Thompsons’ Bayview stud for $26,000.
Like his full brother, TNT is a deep red bull, homozygous polled and myostatin negative.
