Great News for Hereford Breeders

[Australian Cattleman]

Herefords have improved so much here in Australia in the past five years. They were good then they went through a stage where they had too much import blood in them. Now the resilient and clever Australian cattle breeders have found the right mix of bloodlines. they have returned the doing ability to Australian Herefords. The faddish type cattle have gone. They will in time overcome the faddish Angus cattle.
Here are some great sale results.
Top price. $62,500
second top $48,000
third top $35,000
fourth $30,000.
Overall 82 bulls sold for an average $8,671. The average increased on last years sale by $2,465.
There were quality good coloured and well pigmented bulls. They sold to three eastern states and into some well known stud herds and a few up and coming ones.Three of the higher priced bulls came to our region,which augers well for the future when we need to further our sire base.

There is an Aussie import here, Allendale Robin Hood. Was he used much there?

Allendale is a renowned stud herd in South Australia. They have very good cattle and consistently top Poll Hereford sales here in Australia. Another stud from SA was Heatherdale they had good cattle as well. The sales results are for Horned Herefords. Both societys are now united but still have their own identities. We have only horned Hereford sires,but do have a few polled females. Our bloodlines are Cootharaba,Invernaion,Devon Court and a bit of Gunyah mixed in with them. Most of our sire lines are from Queensland. The first three herds mentioned are Queensland and the other is from the colder part of Australia near man from snowy river country. I do think Robin Hood was used a bit.
Thanks for the reply.
