    yes it is very sad news of charlie and John. Most Australians wouldn't know them personally but if you are in the beef industry you would have heard of them. I agree Zander McDonald wouldn't have been short of staff to go up a windmill. Hope the last hurrah of the wet season comes down to you...

    The Red Angus won the best overall breed for the 2nd year running. Both animals were once again from GK. They have their fingers on the pulse of Red Angus breeding here in Australia. Palgrove sure do breed good Charolais.

    Yes we had 11 mls of nice rain. I'm not a pure Angus fan by any means but like crossing them with our different breeds. I received the Irelands catalogue and picked lot 2 as the most impressive lot. He was the top price. He had conformation and a dam good hindquarter, unlike a lot of Angus...

    plenty of green grass about south of the border. Have a yard full of the first batch of weaners, a mix of commercials and studs. Thanks goodness the yards dried out before they went in there. Sold the bulk of our weaners straight off their mothers a week or so ago. Prices were dismal to say the...

    best breed for the tropics

    Any breed with at least half Brahman content. But stay away from the darker coloured breeds. Murray Grey are no good for hot humid climates, unless they are crossed with Brahman.

    A couple of young Hereford bulls

    Don't like either. Still like bulls with nice masculine heads and good eye set. They are in good condition can't criticize that.

    Thoughts on this Angus bull

    Good butt profile, would like to see him stronger in the head. Guess I'm used to bulls looking like bulls. Numbers mean nothing to me if the animal doesn't look good. I agree he is one of the better ones that I've seen posted on here.

    Miserable 4 mls of rain. Our cattle look great. but we need good soaking rain in the next 3 weeks or a month or we will run out of time before our growing time goes before Autumn/Winter. All going well will have a show team for next year after a little break. Will only be grey and red Brahmans...

    Ken I know what you mean about talking to foreign speaking call centres. If I get a person that speaks in broken English I ask can I speak to firstly to an Australian and one that has full grasp of the English language and no accent. I recently called a phone company and had difficulty...

    Anyone seen a Brahman up north?

    I don't know how you tolerate the bitterness of Winter in your part of the world. I agree we have no where near as cold as you in Canada or the northern US. We are very lucky to be able to run any breed of cattle virtually anywhere in our country.

    Suzie have you been out of the country lately it is one of the most talked about and reported problems in the beef industry in Qld for a very long time. Its Bovine Johnes Disease. Its always been thought that Qld was free of it. It is endemic to more dairying regions of Vic and coastal NSW. I...
