Atlas has raced to the number one spot of the December 2007 DEERSelect cross herd Breeding Values for the 12 month yearling weight D.B.V (W12BV 23.2kg). Atlas is a son of Maximilian out of an important Nelson hind. Nelson was a Shultze-Wrede (German) x Jonathon (Warnham). Very interesting to note that this fine stag is not a pure Eastern bloodline and will therefore be an important sire for the industry. Another very pleasing characteristic of Atlas is that he has a great placid temperament which he is passing through into his progeny.
