GINGIN 2019

Our annual sale of prime stud bulls was held at the 31st annual Midlands Cattle Breeders' Association Gingin Bull Sale on Thursday 28 February, with the outstanding result of top-priced bull for the sale. Mungatta Renaldo N28 sold for $11,500 to Shane Edwards of Stockhill Grazing, Quairading. Our congratulations go to Shane and to our other clients and thanks for their ongoing support. The sale was written up in Farm Weekly. We still have some excellent bulls available for purchase - contact Leon or John for more details.

It's calving time!

Autumn is a wonderful time on the farm, with the new calves arriving thick and fast. Here are a few photos of the early ones, just to show you how good they look. You too could have great looking calves in your herd with some of our excellent sale bulls. Contact us for more details and pricing.

Planning for the future

Calving for 2017 is just about over and it's time to start planning for next year's calves. Our AI (Artificial Insemination) programme started this week with choosing our cows and giving them the necessary injections and preparations for fertilization. Mungatta uses a combination of AI and natural methods to get the best calves we can. It also helps to diversify our gene pool and bring into the herd the positive traits we need.

It's calving season!

Despite some 40 degree days, our cows have started calving with no problems at all. Here is one of the first calves of the season by Melaleuca Hakea. Murray Grey cows have a very strong maternal instinct and calve easily as a rule. So far we have had some excellent calves out of our 2016 AI programme, introducing some new and dynamic genetics into our herd.

Results from the Gingin Bull Sale

We were very pleased with the our results from the 2017 Gingin Multibreed Bull Sale on 2 March. We sold 10 of our 11 bulls, averaging over $5000 and a top price of $8000. It's great to see such a strong market and demand for quality bulls. Thanks to all our clients and especially those who are repeat customers - we really value your loyalty.
