Beef Australia 2012 was a success

Beef Australia 2012 was a success winning 6 ribbons with 3 animals.  Waratah Power won both the Champion Calf Bull and Junior Bull awards.  He came second to the senior bull for the Grand Champion Bull ribbon.  Our 19-month-old heifer, Waratah Spanish Angel won her class as well as taking out the Grand Champion Female which forwarded her into the interbreed judging.  Waratah Ellis, our 31-month-old senior bull came second in his class and won Reserve Senior Champion Bull.  The judge commented that more fat coverage would have increased his chances at first place.  Prior to the show Ellis had been out with the cows so we were happy with the result.  The bull which succeeded Ellis, Wattle grove Rocket went into the interbreed and placed in the top 10 out of 31 breeds on display.  What great promotion for the breed.

Attending Beef Australia was a huge success not only in the show ring but also to promote the breed in QLD.  There was a lot of interest in the breed, with many positive comments and feedback.  We had interest from a couple of people wanting to start their own stud with the purchase of embryos, while others wanted to buy a bull or semen.  All the best to those who are making purchases and we look forward to hearing about your results.  We are planning to attend Beef Australia 2015.
