Texas Thunderstruck T383 made national headlines in 2023 when he sold for an Australian all-breeds Angus record of $360,000.
Purchased by Macka's Angus, the sire has since gained attention for producing soft, easy-doing cattle with excellent phenotype supported by strong performance figures.
Five Mile Angus now offers some of the first sons by this influential bull to be seen in the country, providing breeders with an early look at this highly anticipated sire line.
Also on display at Beef Week will be Texas Iceman R72 5 heifers with Texas Thunderstruck T383 calves at foot.
Texas Iceman needs no introduction as the record-breaking Australian Angus bull, selling for $225,000 AUD in 2021, known for his exceptional phenotype and breed-leading performance data, sired by the renowned Poss Maverick, and is marketed globally for his elite genetics.

There will be limited Texas Iceman R725 bulls in the sale also.
This pairing offers visitors the opportunity to assess both the maternal strength of the females and the early performance of Thunderstruck progeny in a practical, commercial context.
Five Mile Angus is backed by more than 50 years of combined cattle breeding experience.
The stud has evolved from breeding bulls primarily for its own commercial operation in the Victorian high country of Benambra, where cattle are run under demanding conditions.
This environment has shaped a breeding program focused on fertility, weight for age, temperament and structural soundness.
Five Mile Angus continues to produce functional, resilient cattle designed to perform in the paddock and on paper. And it is now able to offer these genetics through a bull sale for the first time, with a strong and proven female base originally purchased from the Irelands Angus Dispersal sale in 2020.
This 2026 sale will also include sons from some of their best producing female lines, including Vermont Dream B272, Raff Blackbird D349, The Grange Rosebud D81, Irelands Vicky Z15 and Kyloh Ella J7.
Beef Week provides the opportunity to view these genetics up close and gain insight into a program built on commercial relevance and long-term performance.
Five Mile Angus is located at Warrenbayne, Victoria.
