WELCOME TO THE 38th ANNUAL MILLAH MURRAH ANGUS BULL SALE
On page 10 there is a brief insight into the history of Millah Murrah Angus, and the breeding principles we have
employed for almost 60 years.
Experience has taught that the key to phenotype consistency is conservative sire selection. Experiment by all
means – as stud breeders that is a responsibility to industry. But do it in small measures. Be sure of what you are
doing before going “all in” on a bull.
Backed by this approach, it seems each new sire line we fold in of late, lifts the herd to ever higher levels. From the
likes of Kingdom and Klooney, through Loch Up, Nugget and Paratrooper, down to Quartz, Rocketman, Rembrandt
and Rector, the herd has evolved beautifully in recent years.
Now we are seeing the incredible influence on structure and phenotype coming through with Trigger. He has 30
sons in the sale. Just as exciting is that Santiago looks to be breeding so wonderfully well. We did not go in heavily
with him initially, preferring to test the waters first. The structure and type he transmits is right up there with his
more famous mate.
In the yearlings, two new sires make their debut with a superb selection from the 2024 sale topper Ultrajet and the
Genetics Australia pin up, Tiny Dancer. We also present the first Ulsterman sons with a good deal of anticipation.
It is a magnificent draft of bulls, so deep in quality to the last Lot. At the top end, there is more choice than ever
before.
We hope you enjoy reading through this catalogue, and if you attend the sale, please stay on afterwards for a drink
and something to eat.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION & SEMEN
TESTING OF BULLS + JOINING SEASON
MANAGEMENT
Bulls are vet checked each year by John Bowman or Chris
Hallett of Coolah Vet Clinic including penis examination,
palpation of reproductive organs and visual inspection of
structure and locomotion.
At the same time, a crush side test for semen motility is
conducted.
A semen sample is then sent to the Queensland Sperm
Morphology Laboratory for analysis.
All bulls in the 18 month and two-year categories have
presented greater than 70% normal sperm, except when noted
on the supplementary information sheet, provided on sale day.
For the yearlings, the satisfactory morphology threshold
is lowered, simply due to maturity. Yearling bulls presenting
50-70% normal sperm, and showing adequate rates of
improvement from multiple tests, will be included in the sale
2 Millah Murrah Angus Bull Sale Catalogue 2026
with their % normal sperm indicated on the supplementary
sheet. It is important to note that they are considered ready for
work at point of sale.
As in previous years, there will be some yearlings for whom it
is not possible to obtain a satisfactory semen sample ahead of
the sale. While it is unlikely that they are infertile, we prefer to
be sure, before delivering them to their new home. And rather
than withdraw them from sale, we sell them with the following
options available to the purchaser:
1. Free delivery guaranteed by October 20th, pending a
satisfactory semen test result, with no payment due until
this time or,
2. In the event the bull fails the retest, the buyer may,
(a) withdraw from the sale altogether,
(b) retain the option to purchase the bull pending a
satisfactory result at an agreed future date, or
(c) elect to take a satisfactory replacement, delivered
free of charge by October 20th, with price negotiated
privately, no higher than the auction price of the original
bull.
The sale supplementary sheet will clearly identify any bulls
presented for sale under these delayed terms.
COMMENT: Some studs do not conduct any form of semen
testing, and many do not carry out morphology analyses,
even for two-year-old sale bulls. Morphology analysis of
genuine yearling bulls is rare. Semen testing is a vexed area,
and we make no judgement on what another stud does in
that regard. The reason some studs, including Millah Murrah,
choose to undertake semen morphology testing is that, very
occasionally, it will identify a permanent issue that cannot be
found by a thorough vet examination or crush side testing.
It is important to understand that semen testing is not a “silver
bullet” guarantee of the long-term fertility or infertility of a
bull. It is no more than a “point in time” examination. Testing
six weeks apart, invariably reveals failed bulls that pass and
passed bulls that fail.
Above all, during mating season, be sure to check the
bulls properly each week at least. And in single sire
situations, always endeavor to rotate the bulls between
mobs midway through the season.
BE SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
All animals have been DNA
verified to the sire at least and in
most cases to the dam as well.
We have been sire or parent
verifying every animal in the
Millah Murrah female herd since
2003. No one has disputed our claim that Millah Murrah is the
longest parent verified herd in the world.
The suffix displayed at the end of each animal’s name
indicates the DNA parentage verification that has been
conducted by Angus Australia.
PV : both parents have been verified by DNA
SV : the sire has been verified by DNA
DV : the dam has been verified by DNA
# : DNA verification has not been conducted
E : DNA verification has identified that the sire and/
or dam may possibly be incorrect, but this cannot be
confirmed conclusively.
YEARLING BULL SELECTION
The yearling bulls must be born early enough in the spring
calving season to be 12 months of age by sale time.
At point of sale, we require them to be well over 500kg with
minimum teste size of 33cm, more than the industry standard
required for bulls of this age. This year’s yearling draft is on
track to average close to 600kg at sale time.
During the selection process we place a weighting towards
bulls with strong calving ease credentials. Being the same
age and not overly heavy, they are a logical match for joining
heifers. However, with sound management, the yearling bulls
do not need to be pigeon-holed as heifer bulls only. Many are
sufficiently well grown to work over cows in their first season,
especially 1st and 2nd calvers.
The yearlings continue to grow in popularity as breeders
come to appreciate that, for a tiny bit of extra management,
they deliver tremendous rewards in terms of more calves per
lifetime and rapid genetic gain.
HEALTH TREATMENTS
The bulls are ready for immediate use. They have been treated
as follows:
• DNA tested to prove they are not PI (Persistently Infected) with
Pestivirus
• Double vaccinated with Pestigard (last treated May 20th 2026)
• Double vaccinated with Vibrovax (last treated May 20th 2026)
• Double vaccinated with Ultravac 7 in 1 (last treated May 20th
2026)
• Double vaccinated with Ultravac BEF for 3 day sickness (last
treated May 20th 2026)
• Drenched with Eprinex in August
Please note that we will have Tick Fever vaccine delivered the
day following the sale. Any animals requiring treatment for tick
fever will be needled, upon request to Ross Thompson only, on
Saturday 5th September. Providing full insurance is taken out,
bulls can remain at Goonamurrah for up to two months at no
additional charge and without voiding the free freight service.
EBV NOTES
Readers may note some holes in the “Traits Observed” row for
some bulls, caused by an omission by Breedplan. Because
genomix has such a heavy influence on the missing traits, we
do not expect any significant changes to the EBV’s, when this
information is included in the September TACE run.
Millah Murrah Angus Bull Sale Catalogue 2026 3
TEMPERAMENT
Ben Simpson offered the following observation:
“As a professional animal photographer, I place cattle under
extraordinary temperament pressure. I have worked at close
quarters with the Millah Murrah cattle for many years and rate it
as one of the quietest, most even tempered herds of cattle I have
dealt with in my career. They are a pleasure to work with. ”
We have screened the cattle rigorously for temperament since
the Stud’s inception in 1969. We know the temperament of
the bulls in this sale individually and are confident that under
normal circumstances each of them is of sound disposition.
Understandably each year on sale day an occasional animal
misbehaves due to the big change to the yard area and the
pressure of strange people invading their space.
RECESSIVE GENETIC CONDITIONS
All bulls catalogued are free by pedigree or test of the four main
identifiable genetic conditions. Their status is shown on the 2nd
row of the Lot information. We believe our herd is free of the
red gene however make no guarantee on this. No claim may
be made against the vendor for any unknown or untestable
conditions that may arise in future.
SEMEN RIGHTS
All bulls sell with 80% semen marketing rights attached. In
doing this we leave the great majority of any potential semen
revenue in the buyer’s hands. However, by keeping a 20%
share, it gives us, as the breeder and party with the greatest
knowledge of the bull’s background, a seat at the table, in any
possible negotiations with semen companies and other parties.
By keeping the vendor involved, the 80/20 semen ownership
split is designed to give the purchaser the greatest opportunity
for semen sales on the top sires in the sale.
Should a bull be sold onwards, vendor’s semen rights must be
notified to the buyer and transfer with the sale of the bull. Under
all circumstances, the vendors retain the right to collect 1000
straws from any bull in the sale for use in the Millah Murrah and
Keringa MM herds only.
BULL HANDLING
On arrival at their new home it is important a suitable mob of
animals is yarded to greet the bull and minimize the stress on
the bull. Suitable animals include pregnant cows, steers, but
certainly not other bulls.
We strongly urge breeders to rotate their bulls mid-
season. No amount of vet checking, semen examination or
paddock observation, will detect all cases of transient issues
with bull semen. While it is rare, sometimes a bull looks to be
doing everything right, but due to unknown stresses, as much
as three months prior to the date of service, conception is not
achieved. The greatest insurance against low conception is to
replace, or swap bulls around, at least three weeks before the
end of the joining period.
The bulls are in good joining condition at point of sale, but it
is imperative to ensure good nutrition for the bulls during the
joining period. You should check the bulls regularly to see they
are working, especially in the early stages of joining when the
majority of problems occur and early intervention can minimize
the damage to the bull and to conception rates.
When joining is complete, bulls should be drenched and placed
on good pasture to get back into first grade health without being
allowed to get over fat.
GUARANTEE
1. Every bull is guaranteed to be a breeder at the time of sale
and is guaranteed fertile for 12 months from sale day. If a
bull should prove infertile or unable to serve cows naturally
(provided it is not caused by injury or disease contracted
post sale), the purchase price of the bull, less salvage value,
will be refunded. If a suitable replacement is available at the
time, compensation can be arranged in this manner. Please
note, to ensure a level playing field for all bidders, we do not
issue credits for use at future sales.
2. The bulls are guaranteed to be of the parentage catalogued.
Any claim to the contrary must be lodged within six months
of sale date, after which time the vendor’s liability is
absolved. Similar compensation is offered as in point 1.
HEALTH & SAFETY OF VISITORS TO OUR
SALE (RULES & ADVICE)
All the sale bulls have been screened for temperament and are
quiet to handle under normal circumstances. However there are
inherent risks associated with cattle handling.
VISITORS ENTER THE CATTLE PENS
AT THEIR OWN RISK
CHILDREN MUST NOT ENTER THE YARDS
People entering the yards are at risk of injury. Be especially alert
for bulls fighting and if one is playful with you, do not respond
by patting his head. What a bull considers a playful nudge can
break human legs! We do not expect the bulls to be aggressive
with humans, but sale day places extraordinary pressure on
them as they experience an entirely foreign environment.
Remember the quietest bull is in fact an unpredictable animal.
Do not crowd the bulls or loiter inside the pens. We cannot cover
every example of the dangers of cattle handling, so please use
common sense and be alert at all times. Don’t enter the pens
unnecessarily.
Please call upon any of the Elders agents for an escort through
the bulls if required. Please vacate each bull yard as swiftly as
possible to reduce social contact in the pens.

KEY REFERENCE SIRES
TRIGGER T308
Even at this early stage, it is safe to say Trigger is one of the three best
breeding bulls we have ever used at Millah Murrah. The phenotype
and structural excellence that he transmits is of the highest standard
seen.
Trigger sold for $180,000 as a yearling in our 2023 sale, to a consortium
headed by ABS Global. His first nine sons shattered all previous sires’
progeny records at the sale last year Semen demand has outstripped
inventory and supplies are unavailable at time of writing.
Trigger is a son of Quartz Q29, with Kruse Time K400 and Flower
N30 as paternal grandparents. On the maternal side, his dam is
by acclaimed female producer, Coonamble Hector, with Doc F159,
Crusader of Stern and Hingaia 469 all in the mix. It is a pedigree
brimful with proven maternal lines.
The final proving ground for any sire is to see their daughters in
production. Happily, we calved the first 20 two-year-old Trigger
heifers in July, all unassisted, all very motherly and all with lovely
udder attachment and teat placement.
Trigger will go down as one of the all-time greats to come out of the
Millah Murrah programme. 30 sons sell.
Trigger T308
SANTIAGO S304
Santiago was the $200,000 high seller at our 2023 sale to Will
Couch and ABS. With NZ sire Matauri Reality, and Klooney K42
as paternal and maternal grandsire respectively, Santiago draws
together two of the Angus breed’s great female lines of the past
decade. Santiago progeny exhibit lovely temperament and strong
structural integrity, with extraordinary doing ability and softness.
We will continue incorporating his direct influence for several
years to come. 12 sons sell.
Santiago S304
ULTRAJET U356
By Milwillah Ramjet, Ultrajet’s dam is a daughter of Nugget N266
(2018 sale topper). The former record priced cow of the breed, Prue
H112 is her grand dam, bringing Ythanbrae Henry VIII, Crusader of
Stern and Hingaia 469 into the mix. There is a fair bit of flair about the
young Ultrajet yearling bulls. They are long and deep flanked, with
superb skin and muscle pattern. Quiet to a fault, it will not surprise
to see one or two go into studs. They are exceptional. 8 sons sell.
Ultrajet U356
REMBRANDT R48
We continue to tap the remarkable Rembrandt influence directly and
through his son Thor T245. Thor descends from the Witherswood
Kerry D8 line, with the fabulous cow maker Nectar N334 as his
maternal grand sire. A combined 15 sons sell.
Rembrandt R48
8 Millah Murrah Angus Bull Sale Catalogue 2026
RICKY R45
Ricky has been smoldering away with occasional use in the herd,
since his sale to Arkle Angus at our 2021 bull sale. He is a son of
Spickler Powerpoint with Ascot Hallmark as maternal grand sire.
From a small sample, Ricky’s elite influence is apparent. Among this
sale group, Ricky is the maternal grand sire of Lots 4 & 5, and sire
of Lot 14, all of whom we have collected, with progeny due next
Autumn. 6 sons sell.
Lot 14, Ricky R45 son
ULSTERMAN U145
Ulsterman was the calf at foot when ½ share of embryo production in
his dam, Millah Murrah Flower N30, sold for $140,000 to Edengate
Angus, WA, in 2023. We retained him as a walking sire, before semen
interest from around the globe saw him contracted to Hallmark
Genetics with Agri-Gene as a key distributing Agent. A Rector son,
Ulsterman passes on the same flawless foot and skeletal structure
displayed in his own physique. Progeny exhibit extreme docility, fluid
locomotion, beautiful strong Angus heads, added length of body,
expressive top lines and more flank depth than may be expected
from inspection of the sire. 6 sons sell.
Ulsterman U145
TINY DANCER T438
At $70,000, Tiny Dancer was the high selling two-year-old of our
2024 sale to Gundungurra Angus. Contracted through Genetics
Australia for semen sales, several high profile studs across Australia
have progeny on the ground. All report similar traits of ultra docile
temperament and tremendous eye appeal. Repeat semen sales are
racking up. These are the first calves to sell anywhere. 7 sons sell.

57 YEARS IN THE MAKING
THE HISTORY BEHIND THE BULLS (AND A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE)
THE BEDROCK OF THE HERD
A recent article in The Land made a shallow exploration of
the maternal background of several Australian Angus studs. It
prompted some deeper reflection on Millah Murrah’s history.
Since inception in 1969, 17 cows have been introduced to
the herd.
Of those 17, only six have sustained a meaningful presence
through their descendants.
Incredibly the six families that have bred on, are from the
same six cows my parents selected as the foundation
females in 1969.
Listed by volume of bull descendants in this sale, those
families stem from:
• Wallah Flower 33rd
• Wallah Abigail 43rd
• Glengowan Brenda 8th
• Wallah Prue 23rd
• Glengowan Rado 11th and
• Muskerry Ela 25th.
The Sanderson family’s Wallah herd at Narrabri was widely
regarded among the pre-eminent Angus Studs of its era.
The enduring influence of those three cows at Millah
Murrah has been immense. It is testament to the capacity of
high-quality brood females to shape a breeding program
for countless descendant generations.
Oberon Show 1973
It is exciting for us that finally it appears a 7th family
is establishing firm roots at Millah Murrah, through
the wonderful Kerry D8. She was purchased at the
Witherswood dispersal sale in 2018.
John Woodruff - Witherswood Angus - after buying Kingdom
A study of the herd book shows that Kerry aside, all but
seven of the bulls in this sale are now 10 to 15 generations
maternally descended from those original six cows. By
“maternally” here, I mean on the very bottom line of each
pedigree generation, the dam has descended directly from
the purchased foundation cow.
Consider this: At 10 generations a family tree runs to 1024
names. At 15 that number blows out to more than 32,000!
In human terms, it is mind boggling to consider that at just 40
generations - well this side of Jesus’ time on earth - there are
more than two trillion lines in your family tree. Obviously, the
actual number of unique individuals is vastly smaller.
Those last two lines give pause for thought. They intimate
why an appreciation of line breeding is so vital, if your
ambition is to breed large lines of beautiful livestock.
THE PATERNAL INFLUENCERS
While there is a need at seedstock level to trial relatively
unrelated sires from time to time, the art of pure breeding
is to identify the best genetics and multiply them rapidly.
Equally, that art is about recognizing the failure of any new
bloodline to measure up and the discipline to eradicate - or
at least greatly dilute - its influence just as fast.
Parallel to the maternal side of the Millah Murrah ledger, it
is instructive to whittle down the sire-lines that have made
the biggest sustained herd improvement over the past 15-
20 years.
Hingaia 469 and his son Kingdom appear in vast numbers
of the extended pedigrees of the great animals in our herd.
Hingaia 469
The story is similar for the Booroomooka Theo sired
Klooney.
A less heralded sire with increasing influence is Loch Up. A
son of US bull Thomas Up River, the Loch Up mature cows
are superbly constructed brood females. They appear
behind some of the very best calves each year in numbers
disproportionate to their presence in the herd.
Then comes the famous EF Commando son, Paratrooper.
His line now extends through Rocketman and Rembrandt,
down a generation to Tommy Turbo, Tiny Dancer and Thor.
Potentially the next successional step could be the Tommy
Turbo x Kingdom calf at Lot 78. That would be a double
10 Millah Murrah Angus Bull Sale Catalogue 2026
whammy - also folding Kingdom back into play. And
Paratrooper is shining through on the dam side - the Ricky
R45 son at Lot 14 is a prime example.
The Coonamble Hector lineage runs through Nectar
to Rector and now down to Ulsterman. It has further
propelled the standard of structure and type consistency.
Lots 4 and 5 by Ulsterman are superb products of this line.
Kruse Time K400 was by the famous US sire BT Right Time,
and out of a Crusader of Stern (Hingaia 469 son) cow.
Through Quartz and boom sire Trigger, this line will extend
its reach through Valentino, and I suspect several more
sons in the years ahead. Over 30 bulls in the sale carry this
heritage. They are an incredible group of bulls, stars too
numerous to single out.
Prospects look bright that a couple of strong new lines are
developing.
The Matauri Reality descended Santiago oozes “maternal
quality”. His first few daughters have just hit production
with the sweetest of udders. The Santiago son at Lot 63 is a
brilliant example of the style he transmits.
And now we have a bead on the Milwillah Ramjet son,
Ultrajet U356. His early progeny is just so impressive, with
some stunning calves in this sale. The flush brothers at Lots
82, 83, 84 & 99 are among the features.
While we have used several other outside sires over the
years with good success - and many more whose genes
have disappeared quickly - it is a wonderful luxury to have
half a dozen or more superb main sire lines, constantly
multiplying and blending through the herd. They make the
job so much simpler than it once was.
LOOKING AHEAD - OUR INDUSTRY ROLE
It is important to experiment from time to time, and we
have a couple of well researched (eye balled) imports in
the pipeline at present. Only time will tell if a legendary
new sire evolves. The odds are probably against it. The
great ones are so rare.
From a commercial breeder’s perspective, I believe
genetic experimentation is best left to the studs. When it is
all about consistency of type and quality, it is folly to take
genetic risks in a commercial setting. It is for the studs to
experiment, make mistakes and provide the testing ground
for unproven sires, especially from foreign shores. Once we
uncover a good one, you can be sure we’ll let you know!
Founders of Millah Murrah Angus, Winsome &
Wyatt (Bunty) Thompson
AND SO, TO THE BULLS…
We are always very proud of the bull draft we present.
On face value, the culmination of just three years’ work,
deeper contemplation points to my parents’ extraordinary
livestock judging skill all those years ago. It also points
to the almost 60 years - and two human careers - of utter
dedication to the seedstock craft.
While there are always some headline bulls, the source of
our greatest satisfaction is the extraordinary consistency
of type and quality as we progress through the catalogue
each sale. So little separates the bulls in the last pen from
those in the first.
I hope this short history helps explain why.

Enormous power & growth in the opening pen of bulls.
W80 descends from one of the best cows to walk at
Goonamurrah, Klooney’s dam, Prue H4. He is sired by a
bull doing a superb job for us. Owner Siobhan Cowan of
Arkle Angus in WA reports that Ricky R45 has developed
into a beautiful mature sire that they’ll collect this season
for AI. Wilbur is a serious beef bull with 850kg in his
sights by sale day. His Dam’s first calf made the top pen,
at Lot 6 last year, fetching $30,000 to JS Grazing.

The first Ulsterman son to sell. Ulsterman was the calf at
side when Flower N30 sold for a breed record valuation
- $140,000 half share to Edengate Angus WA, at our
2023 cow sale. Global demand for Ulsterman semen is
rampant. A delegation from NZ inspected him in March,
ordering 1000 units right away. 2000 units was recently
shipped to the EU, with further European orders received
as I write. Following a recent Open Day at TLG, domestic
demand has soared. His first son offered for sale, Warrior
W62, is a frame size outlier, in the low 7 range. He
packs some serious growth into a very well constructed
phenotype. His dam has had sons sell to $36,000.

I love this bull and the brother that follows. Each has a good
number of calves due next Autumn. Ricky R45 adds to his
reputation here, as sire of the dam. Kerry U68 is a lovely young
cow, with immaculate leg angles, foot structure and perfect udder
conformation. Named Wyatt in honour of my Dad, W50 shows
a similar gentle disposition to his namesake, with a strong sire’s
head, superb structural design, and the same perfect foot base
of his sire. With a borderline C+/B- visual muscle pattern, and
the softest of hair types, Wyatt is yarded in a pen of seriously
powerful young sires. Standing at frame 6.5, with a superbly
balanced data set and novel pedigree, Wyatt and his brother
Weston who sells next, represent cutting edge genetics, two
years ahead of the game.

Full brother to the preceding bull. Only personal
preference will determine which one is the better bull.
Named Weston, again honouring my father (his second
name), W20 has similar stud sire capacity to his brother.
We eagerly await his first progeny in February. We used
both bulls over heifers and consider them suitable for all
roles in the herd.

Throughout the 57 year existence of the herd, we’ve embraced
the benefits of sensible line breeding. It is the key to type
consistency. I love the double dose of breed legend Flower N30,
coupled here with two shots from Heart Angus’ renowned cow
maker, Nectar N334. Walcott W141 is a two year old heifer’s calf,
born later in the season than the rest of the bulls in his pen. To
make the opening yard of the sale is a phenomenal effort from
his dam. What’s more, after birthing Walcott, Ela U199 backed
up for a quick MOET flush (to produced two calves), raised
him magnificently, and rejoined to calve with twins, 248 days
after Walcott was born. And she took to the first round of AI this
Autumn. To inspect, Walcott displays the exemplary structure
expected from the pedigree. He is as long as a train, wonderfully
fluid in his stride, with the beautiful strong head and soft nature
Ulsterman is transmitting. Owning a perfectly balanced data set,
he is a bull for all seasons and should draw stud consideration.

Tremendously powerful youngster who passed the 700kg
mark in mid June. A double shot of Klooney, mixed
with Kruse Time and Rector makes a seriously potent
maternal package. The dam’s only son sold to date
fetched $14,000 to Diana Hurley in 2023.

An all round performance powerhouse here. Clocking
in at a whopping 734kg on June 20, W84 owns the tried
and proven pedigree blend of Rembrandt x Nugget which
has been such a hit for our customers. Throw in a finely
balanced data set, W84 is an all rounder to undertake
any role in the herd and certainly ranks as another bull
with genuine stud sire credentials.

Beautifully balanced all rounder, on paper and in the flesh.
W18 displays plenty of phenotype power to make him ideal
for working a mob of mature cows, but he also carries brilliant
calving ease credentials if needed to operate in the heifer mobs.
The Ramjet progeny have been an excellent introduction to the
herd. This will be the last year with direct Ramjet sons in the
sale, as the 2024 sale topper, Ultrajet U356, steps into his shoes.
The maternal side of W18’s pedigree is rolled gold, descending
from the wonderful Flower N30 as great grand dam, through
her acclaimed daughter R118, who sold to Ascot Angus for
$80,000 in 2023. Throw in Rector’s renowned cow making input
behind U39, and the pedigree quality runs deep. This layering
of outstanding animals from each respective generation, one
pedigree line after another, is what underpins the quality and
value of the bulls we present each year. Maternal brother sells
at Lot 25.
