What can anyone tell me about this outfit? They look like they have some exceptional bulls. Any and all info would be great

I have known Gerald Spry for probably 25 years or maybe even more. He is a great guy and he also has a lot of cattle smarts. I purchased the Canadian rights to Sprys True Blue Y033 who was at that time the record selling Shorthorn bull in Australia. True Blue had outstanding carcass data and he turned out to be a  very easy calving bull as well. He was used extensively across Canada and I think he did a very good job here.

Gerald and Lynden Spry and their son Matt and wife Kate, operate a honest well run operation that is geared to produce bulls for the commercial beef industry in Australia. Gerald has used genetics from around the world to build the Spry herd. He purchased 30 embyos from us about 7 years ago and most of these have worked very well in their herd. They have two bull sales each year and they are some of the best each year in Australia.

Here's their website: http://www.spryshorthorns.com.au/

Is there semen available on there bulls in the us anywhere? Any info about rockdell pride sired cattle I see that they used him alot

Rockdell Pride 50K was bred in Saskacthewan by the Jim and Connie Graham at Lone Rock.306-387-6679. His dam was still producing last year at 14 years of age
He was used first at Huberdale Shorthorns (Bill, Ryan & Aaron Huber)306-336-2684
and then he was used at Fantasy Lane in Ontario (Rick Salzsauler)519-824-9044
I think semen was available on 50K at one time. Anyone of the above might have something available with his bloodlines.

Recently they have been using Waukaru Patent but another bull that has had an influence at Sprys is JR Legend 78H bred and raised at Othello, Washington.

Here is a picture of True Blue's dam, Moombi Kate S50. She was one of Sprys major donor females for several years. Also pictures is Sprys Master Blaster, a bull that topped their bull sale a few years ago.

thanks for the pics jit i really like the looks of the spry cattle. does anyone know if semen is avaiable on sprys pride star in the us.

Here is the donor cow sired by Spry's Jack Pot that we owned until she died last summer, WF Athena W50H.  I do have two DF Waco bulls and a WHR Sonny heifer out of her this year.
