Beautiful winters day here today. About 16/17 degrees.Big frost yesterday morning down to minus 4 but this morning was warmer at minus 2.Went to a Brahman open day yesterday at a friends place. Haven't visited their place for about15years. Boy have their cattle improved. Have some great red bulls for Rockhampton Brahman week in October. I exceptionally good one by Winchester Magnum ( a red US import semen) Sure to make at least $20,000. They sold bulls to $25,000 last year. Seen their bull that they bought for $65,000 (in partnership). He's a big rangey,long bull that is heavy boned. Most of his progeny were darn good too.Came home and looked at our red herd and was not disappointed at all. We have a pretty darn good herd of reds and some nice young polled bulls on the rise.I used to be disappointed after a visit to other herds but now I appreciate our herd after 35 years of build up. be pleased when I get rid of dial up and can quickly send photos to all on the board of our herd.
