Barnett Nefertiti N8
An elite matron with powerful influence and enduring legacy
Barnett Nefertiti N8 is the kind of cow that defines a breeding program. A standout daughter of the renowned G A R Prophet, she combines elite carcass genetics with proven maternal performance, making her one of the most influential and productive females we have ever had the privilege to breed.
Physically, N8 is impressive—a large-framed, deep-bodied cow with massive capacity, structural soundness, and a commanding presence. Her smooth shoulder set, robust topline, and powerful hindquarter are hallmarks of her phenotype, allowing her to pass on both performance and style to her calves with remarkable consistency. Her structure has never faulted, and she continues to carry herself with strength and purpose year after year.
N8’s true strength, however, lies in her ability to produce top-shelf progeny—year in and year out. Her calves rise to the top of each drop, often outperforming their peers in both weight and structural assessment from an early age. Whether bull or heifer, her progeny are born with a strong start and continue to excel through to maturity, with standout performance in weaning weight, yearling growth, and overall phenotype. Her calves are among the first noticed in the paddock and the last to leave your mind.
Due to her consistent results, N8 has become our go-to donor for producing elite replacements and performance sires. Two of her sons have been retained and now reside in leading programs in Victoria, continuing her legacy in herds where performance is paramount. Her daughters are quickly becoming the backbone of our future female herd, adding fertility, functionality, and growth.
Among N8’s greatest achievements is her son, Barnett Command S7—a bull who exemplifies everything we strive to breed. S7 is an absolute powerhouse. He combines muscle, growth, and docility in a complete package. Weighing in at over 1000kg during his working season, S7 covered cows effortlessly while maintaining condition and presence. His progeny are now rising stars in our program—our heaviest and most structurally correct yearlings—many of whom are being prepared for our 2025 Spring Sale, where they are expected to lead the draft.
Barnett Nefertiti N8 is more than just a cow—she is a genetic cornerstone. Her influence runs deep in our herd, and her legacy will continue through generations of high-performing, dependable cattle. She is a true testament to what focused, functional, and high-quality breeding can achieve.

A working-class cow is the backbone of any commercial or stud herd—designed to function in real-world conditions without special treatment. She doesn’t need pampering to perform. She just gets the job done.

Barnett Mittagong U87 (MBA23U87)
A Rising Star with Deep Genetic Foundations
Barnett Mittagong U87 is the total package—looks, data, and proof, all working in harmony. At just two years of age, she has already marked a significant milestone, delivering her first bull calf and stepping confidently into her role as a productive dam. This early achievement highlights her fertility, maternal instinct, and structural integrity—qualities that make her a standout in the paddock and a valuable asset in our breeding program.
U87 is a feminine beauty with enough thickness to make you smile—the kind of cow that draws your eye for all the right reasons.

Her pedigree blends performance and functionality, producing cattle that thrive in real-world conditions while delivering exceptional results.
This winter, U87 will join our donor program for in vitro fertilization (IVF), a strategic step to multiply her influence and fast-track her genetics across the herd.
