An easy-doing, well-proportioned bull with great shape, Swayze has a marbling EBV in the top 1% of the breed. His progeny are projected to finish early and be heavily marbled. According to 2024 MINDA data, only 0.8% of Swayze calvings showed any form of calving difficulty, making him one of the most reliable calving ease beef sires that LIC has recorded. He’s been used extensively within the Torrisdale herd.

In the Dairy Beef Progeny Test, Quercus placed in the top 15% of all beef sires for gestation length (278.9 days), and top 32% for Birth Weight (his beef x dairy progeny averaged 36.9kg). His BREEDPLAN EBVs have him in the top 15% of the Murray Grey breed worldwide for Calving Ease. For the beef finisher, he’s in the top 15% for Carcase Weight, and impresses with data that’s in the top 1% for both muscling and marbling.
