A son of Meadowbrook Chieftain 9th

Royal Chief embodies all the characteristics that breeders seek in a true Heritage Dual Purpose bull. His sire, Meadowbrook Chieftain 9th, is a legend in the Shorthorn breed. Royal Chief’s dam had a picture perfect udder which is being carried through to Royal Chief daughters. His daughters have great milking ability with excellent maternal instinct. Their size, thickness, and structure incorporate all the characteristics that allow a breeder to produce family cows or locker beef. Royal Chief daughters are everything we want in a cow—we are so pleased with his daughters we continue to use him in our own herd as we are expecting 3 more daughters out of Royal Chief this spring. His mature weight is 2405#.

Meat Packer was the high selling bull at the 2014 Dubbo (Australia) National Show and Sale. We have viewed this bull in the Outback in Australia, and he is the real deal. He maintains condition in severe drought type pasture with no supplementation, while breeding cows and walking long distances to find water everyday. We saw his dam at the Calrossy Angelton School in Australia. She was 16 ½ years of age at the time with an excellent heifer calf at her side. She still had a sound udder.
