Herefords Australia National Youth Expo was held at Cootamundra Showground last weekend.
About 150 young people attended the weekend with lectures on the Saturday as well as some judging and then on the Sunday it was time to parade their prepared cattle and further judging.
This year Glenwarrah was well represented with Sugarloaf Creek Jewell U174, exhibited by Mackinley Klippel, sired by Glenwarrah Marshall R276, taking our Junior and Grand Champion Female.
The heifer that came third in the class to her was Glenwarrah Miss Melissa U404 owned by Lily Gavenlock of Maitland.

Congratulations to our valued clients Jeff, Kym and daughter Sophie, from CV Pastoral, for securing First Place in the Grass Fed Trade Class and earning Reserve Champion Pen of Cattle at Beef 2024 in Rockhampton.
Jeff and Kym have had another remarkable achievement by taking out Oakey’s Natures Fresh most consistent MSA scores for the second year in a row.
CV Pastoral have been strong supporters of our bull sale at “Brooksby” for many years. It is good to see how well our bulls have performed in their operation. Their work at “Cedar Valley” in Wandoan is exceptional and it is rewarding to see them excel with our bloodlines.
Sydgen Black Pearl is a bull we used in AI in 2021 to produce bulls with low birth weight figures and also to produce bulls with carcasses for the feedlot industry.

KO G18 General N37 was purchased in 2018 as a yearling bull from KO Angus in the Southern Highlands. His low birth weight figures and his presence caught our eye. At the time we were hunting for a sire to replace Talis Jermaine for our heifers and he had a lot of appeal. He is leaving a clear type in his progeny which have the low birth weight characteristics he possesses.

We purchased Stanford Kiev K053 a Poll Hereford Bull in 2016 from Michael & Carol Rutherford (Stanford Poll Herefords) at Bathurst NSW after a road trip south searching for a Poll bull to develop our herd. He was out of a beautiful mature cow Stanford Moth G061 with lots of structure and obvious femineity.
Kiev has a lovely smooth coat and a personality to match. In 2019 we have a line of outstanding sons by Kiev which are a credit to the blood lines from which he comes (View Pedigree). The carcase and temperament that they have should complement any herd. You should lookout for any of his prodgeny in our annual bull sales.

This year due to tough seasonal conditions experienced by us and most of our clients we opted to do something we have never done before. We sold our 2018 drop of Angus and Hereford weaner heifers for export to Russia (yes the country).
The sale and shipment was handled by Landmark International and required heifers of outstanding quality to be used for breeding purposes.
In a normal season we would have kept a lot of the heifers but due to the conditions and also the uncertainty as to what the season was going to send our way we decided to export the majority of the drop of heifers from 2018.
The heifers sold to Russia had to be within a weight range of 260-360 kgs empty and of good quality and type. They were inspected once here on the property and then trucked to Portland in Victoria to go into a quarantine situation before leaving Australia. They were all inspected again and examined, including blood tests, before being shipped to Russia (with Love).
It would have been great to keep them here in Australia, but hopefully we can get some feedback as to their breeding quality and perhaps help open the Australian market to more Northern Hempishere buyers for our seed stock.

Recently Steve spent a very enjoyable morning with David Strelitz touring around his Uralla properties. David and son Gavin are repeat Brooksby Angus bulls buyers so it was a great opportunity to catch up, have a look around and see what sort of job the bulls are doing for them. It is also good opportunity to get to know them and their operation a bit better.
It turns out that David grew up in the Uralla area. As a young man he went to Moree for 15 years for work and then returned in 1975 to manage ‘Goldsworth’ at Uralla for Mr Henry Belfield. Two years later, during the cattle crash, Mr Belfield sold ‘Goldsworth’ to David.
This was the start to a very successful company Dasban P/L which now owns a number of properties in the Uralla area including ‘Goldsworth’ and ‘Underwood’.
Steve’s comment on the day when he arrived home was:
I was extremely impressed with their management practices and the standard of their cattle.
Steve was ‘chuffed’ to learn that David and Gavin seem to be happy with the job the Brooksby Angus bulls are doing for their herd.
Talis Kerr K379 – Has mainly been used in the commercial herd but because of the calves he has left on a few stud females, he will be introducing him into the stud breeding program in 2019.

Earlier this year we were approached by Murray and Jodie Weller, of Toowoomba, who were interested in purchasing a stud Hereford heifer for their son’s Riley and Drew.
After a big weekend of handling and discussion between Murray, Riley and Drew they came to a decision and the two boys purchased their first stud heifer Glenwarrah Lass N114. They are our future in the Hereford breeding game and we were delighted to help the two boys start their stud.
Recently, Drew Weller attended the 2018 Hereford QLD Annual Youth Show at Pittsworth. The weekend includes instruction on handling cattle and general show preparation. Saturday was filled with informative talks, including sessions run by Hayley Robinson from MLA, Luke Goldthorpe from Coopers Animal Health, Jane Lowe from Queensland Country Life, and Peter Atkinson of Allora Veterinary practice.
The weekend concluded on the Sunday with a competition between the 59 competitors with classes including beast handling and age classes for the cattle. Drew had a great time with his heifer winning the Grand Champion Parader. In the cattle classes Drew, with his heifer Glenwarrah Lass N114, won both Grand Champion Heifer and Supreme Animal.
Congratulations to the Weller Boys and Good Luck at Brisbane EKKA with you heifer.
In January of this year we had a visit from a fine lot of Irish Hereford Breeders

South Boorook Mumbai – First seen in a commercial herd owned by Ken Hodge of Mortlake, covering Hereford cows mainly from Victorian bloodlines but also from Glenwarrah. Ken being very keen on showing steers at Melbourne Royal quite often did very well in the ‘Hoof and Hook’ competitions with sons of Mumbai.
Steve was so impressed with the steers he was producing that he managed to secure the purchase of the bull and bring him back to Glenwarrah to use over our stud females. All of his progeny are of a certain type and softness which produces females with lots of milk.
