Angus Australia EBV link Angus Database Search Result Viking was the $60,000 standout from the 2020 New Zealand selling season and considered by many as arguably the most impressive son of the immortal Matauri Reality 839 to date. Like Reality, Viking does everything so right from the ground up. He is incredibly deep bodied, wide throughout and smooth shouldered. The muscle volume in Viking is to a degree seldom seen yet he retains softness, constitution and easy fleshing. Viking stands on good bone and impeccable feet & legs - he was purchased by Earnscleugh Station and will work in some of the most rugged, mountain terrain any sire would be subjected too. Note well the +3.4 IMF puts him at the absolute top end of Reality sons for IMF. On the NZ Breedplan Viking mirrors a similar profile to Reality 839 with calving ease (suitable for cows or heifers), high fertility and exceptional easy fleshing and above average marbling. Combining these numbers with phenotype and extra kilograms makes Viking an imposing selection choice this season. Breeders looking to reinforce the proven fundamentals & quality into their herds should consider Viking. Like his illustrious sire, Reality 839, Viking is a calving ease prospect and should breed a similar type to Reality albeit with some extra width and a heavier carcase.
