Codiak Putnam GNK 61Y was the
most prolific A.I. sire in Canada
throughout the past decade. He
registered nearly 500 direct progeny
in Canada and Australia alone, not
to mention offspring in the USA
and Europe. Many of these calves
have topped sales for their breeders,
including Wattle Grove Project A
L264, who sold in Wattle Grove
Speckle Park’s 2016 sale and set an
Australian record at AUD$30,000.
Wattle Grove Codiak Magic K9 sold
for AUD$25,000 after capturing
the 2016 Sydney Royal Speckle Park
Supreme Exhibit title and the 2016
Queensland Royal Show Champion
Bull. Son Codiak Captaine 5C was
the high seller in the 2017 Summit
3 Sale at $18,000. “As cattle breeders,
we look for a lot of things in our herd,”
says Dale Humphries, Wattle Grove
Speckle Park. “Putnam ticks all the
boxes, and more. He’s a true breed legend.”
