Alpine Manager Chris Oswin “Our focus has always been on delivering sound, quality bulls that last with excellent structure and strong growth and carcase traits. We do this by continually striving to maintain and develop our highly maternal cow herd. Cows that last and grow produce bulls that do the same”

Alpine Angus run around 700 cows run mainly in the Alpine Valleys around Myrtleford as well as on agistment on the Hay plains at Narringa, South of Hay.

Alpine Principal Jim Delany “ We are fortunate to have had support from Ivone Agencies locally and the many wonderful farming families who have showcased our genetics so well at weaner sales throughout the North East of Victoria and beyond.”

In recent years Alpine Angus genetics have also been sought by studs throughout Australia. Currently Alpine Angus is represented by industry AI sires Alpine Real Deal R163, Alpine Ronaldo R232 and Alpine 38 Special S021.  Alpine Angus Real Deal’s first sons sold to $100,000 in 2024.

Alpine Angus offers a great opportunity for commercial producers to access quality, well related genetics at affordable prices supported by a committed after sales program. Chris Oswin “ Our focus is always what makes money for our commercial clients – the stud success is an added bonus.” 

The 2025 Sale team is made up of large lines of quality bulls from leading industry and Alpine sires.

Chris Oswin “Feature sires include Baldridge Goalkeeper, Baldridge Versatile and Alpine Real Deal - all are big growth, high carcase attribute sires with moderate Birth who produce well fleshed, quiet sons that have proven highly popular over the last 18 months with all 3 producing sons that have sold for $100,000.”

Carcase quality is further enhanced by a high quality run of Rennylea N542 descendants as well as Alpine’s first sons by Te Mania Rainmaker R209.  Chris Oswin “N542 is renown as an easy calving, high IMF sire and an outstanding sire of sires, producing numerous herd bulls including Real Deal and Ronaldo, from limited use by a few Angus studs.” Sons of N542 and Real Deal are well represented in Alpine 2025 line up , as well as Alpine Rock Solid R289, a high selling N542 son from an outstanding flush that also produced Ronaldo and Alpine Next Gen R272 who is currently a stud sire for Dulverton Angus and Five Star Angus.

Te Mania Rainmaker R209 a new feature sire with sons in the 2025 Alpine sale was the 2nd top priced bull at the Te Mania Walgett Sale and produces high IMF cattle, very docile temperament and good frame and length.

Strong bodied Taimate Roy sons with good heads and true Angus attributes will also feature in the 2025 Alpine sale line up. Taimate Roy is a NZ bred sire whose first yearling sons sold extremely well at Millah Murrah and Milwillah in the Spring 2024.

Finally there will also be  a run of ET bull calves including Paratrooper brothers to Real Deal and first sons of Sitz Manor 3195, a USA cow Alpine Angus purchased at the Sitz female sale in 2022 who currently has a couple of sons marketed by AI companies in America.
