About Millah Murrah

Millah Murrah Angus was founded in 1969 by Wyatt & Winsome Thompson.

Foundation females were purchased at the Wallah dispersal. On farm bull sales commenced in 1988.

In 2003, as part of succession planning, all Millah Murrah registered females older than 12 months were sold. Ross & Dimity Thompson retained 75 heifer weaners, from which they have built the Millah Murrah herd to where it sits today, with 400-500 registered calves born annually.

Millah Murrah has set a suite of sales records this century. Five times our bulls have raised the individual price record for the breed with Woody W100 at $41,000 in 2003, Kingdom at $150,000 in 2015, Paratrooper at $160,000 in 2019, Rocket Man at $280,000 in 2021 and Wyatt W50 at $420,000 in 2026 (an Australian all breeds record price). In all but three years since 2011, Millah Murrah has achieved the highest averaging bull sale of all breeds throughout the nation, raising the Angus breed average bull price record eight times in the process. The benchmark was most recently set at $34,221 for 118 bulls at our 2021 sale, and $43,633 for 128 bulls at our 2022 sale. These results doubled as world records for a bull sale over 100 head of any breed. Millah Murrah set a pair of Australasian industry records at our 2017 female sale where 234 breeding age females sold to average $13,709, topping at $190,000 for Prue M4. At our 2023 female sale, 170 head sold to a top of $140,000 at an Australasian and most likely, at the time, a world record average of $29,730. At our 2026 bull sale, 121 bulls sold to average $37,528 as the highest averaging bull sale for the year, and all breeds 2nd highest Australian bull sale average in history (>30 head).

Notwithstanding the fact that in recent times most calves are conceived to homebred Millah Murrah sires, a key component of our breeding approach is a commitment to live inspection of every sire used in the herd. This necessitates extensive travel, with seven trips to the USA, a similar number of visits to NZ and 10’s of thousands of kilometres travelled throughout Australia over the past decade, assessing potential introductions to the herd. Mating decisions are made with phenotypic outcome the paramount consideration.
