CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

Ian Durkin Dear members, From a company perspective, the last six months have seen the execution of the 2022-2027 strategic plan. This included changes in how the team is structured, how some services are delivered (like the single monthly invoice), and ongoing commitment to improved marketing and breed promotion.

Like all businesses we have faced disruptions due to COVID and some staffing gaps due to the tight labour market and I’d like to acknowledge the hard work of the team in keeping operations on track in the first half.

From a board perspective, the last six months have been busy. Under the direction of the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee, the financial audit and preparation of annual accounts was completed and shared with members as part of the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

The company is profitable and in good shape, with key drivers of income (inventory and membership) both higher than last year. Inventory results are especially pleasing (up approximately 1000 head year on year) and are encouraging signs the rebuild is underway.

Expenditure has remained in line with budget.

Investments have performed well, with the portfolio carefully monitored, especially given the uncertain economic climate.

The Finance, Audit and Risk Committee has also started its biannual review of company rules and regulations, and based on feedback from members is also looking at policy and procedures with respect to the identification and management of new genetic conditions.

Together with the Technical Committee, the board undertook a review of the Super Sires program, including its role in improving breed awareness and appeal with commercial producers.

The review showed semen sales from Super Sires to the commercial sector continue to grow strongly, and each round generates local and international inquiry for the breed which is positive. We also identified several ways to strengthen the program, including some refinement to the eligibility criteria and the important role the stud plays in accepting the nomination and ‘backing’ the sire.

More information about the evolution of the Super Sires program will come in the second half of the year.

Correspondence from members is a standing item on the board agenda. In recent months we have seen a few inquiries with respect to BREEDPLAN, with some specific questions around variation of EBVs from one reporting period to the next. BREEDPLAN is delivered to members via ABRI (Agricultural Business Research Institute) and the company has and will continue to advocate on behalf of members for timely response and resolution when questions are raised.

Staff and board members have also been in discussions with Neogen over current and future genomic test services and associated pricing and offers.

Looking forward the balance of this year will see the board turn its attention to research and development (R&D).

This includes working with staff and other stakeholders

to develop a five-year R&D roadmap. Part of the process has already started with a review of the data gathered over the past decade and an initial assessment of future data needs.

We have also started work on a criterion to enable a transparent and objective assessment of future investments. Considerations may include questions like: • How targeted is the proposed investment? Does it fill an important data need? Could the data help the breed to highlight points of differentiation/ superiority)?

• Will it help the breed to gather evidence of hard to measure commercially relevant data and traits?

• In what time frame can the research be completed? Is there scope to apply results in the short and medium term?

• Does the proposed research design, present an ability to leverage current and planned industry investments?

As an example of this, members of the board and staff recently attended the Trangie Research Station. The Research Station has a large Hereford herd and is one of five sites participating in the Southern Multibreed Project. In addition to a project status update, company representatives explored opportunities to add HAL research needs to the project design. If feasible, this could be a cost-effective way to progress important data collection. I look forward to reporting on the outcomes of discussions and our research priorities in a future edition.

In signing off, I’d like to echo my comments from my AGM report, that we are a community drawn together by our passion for the Hereford breed and our support for each other.

From a company perspective, it is your voice that helps to shape the company agenda and I encourage you to continue to engage with staff and board members so we can continue to support you with high quality member services and invest in projects and programs that will set the breed up for a bright future.

Regards,

Ian Durkin CHAIRMAN

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S COMMENT

Lisa Sharp Hello members, As regular readers will be aware, a staple in our magazines are the reports from the many shows and sales that occur throughout the year. Looking back to the weaner sales in early January, through to on property sales in autumn and the national sales in May and June, I think it is fair to say the results have been excellent.

Record top prices, record averages and strong clearance rates have characterised both multi-vendor and on property sales. We are also seeing increasing evidence of Hereford heifers and steers closing the $/kg gap with Angus, and in some cases Hereford heifers commanding a premium. Local and international inquiry is steadily rising for Hereford genetics, with strong local inquiry from northern and central Australia.

You can read more about The Big Picture: Herefords role in a thriving global marketplace on page 80.

In anticipation of another year of strong sale results and cattle prices, we spoke to formative southern Australia reproductive services provider Dr Shane Thomson, HVC Production and Breeding to understand how producers could achieve maximum value from their genetic investments. You can read more about the importance of aligning cattle purchases to production systems, strategic induction regimes and ongoing maintenance programs to underwrite sire longevity on page 25.

With the completion of the Herefords Australia five-year Strategic Plan in late 2021, the last six months has seen the company now move from planning into action. The Plan has six strategic pillars, and, in this edition, you can read more about our activities in support of the member experience pillar.

One initiative I am particularly excited about is our partnership with Intercollegiate Meat Judging (ICMJ).

ICMJ aims to inspire and develop future professionals in the global red meat industry, with a particular focus on meat quality and carcase specifications. ICMJ alumni can be found working in all parts of the red meat supply chain, with many graduates now holding management and leadership roles across industry. This partnership supports capacity building (part of our membership experience pillar) and by bolstering networks, supports our business development pillar.

As part of our Research and Development (R&D) pillar, we have been busy reviewing indicators of genetic performance, best practice reference population design and our datasets to help inform the next phase of R&D and data collection activity. Single-step BREEDPLAN has been in place since 2017 so it has also been timely to understand what the impact of genomics has been.

The findings, conclude that genomics has given Hereford producers more reliable information (in the form of EBVs) and the recording of quality performance information, and the use of this information to make informed selection decisions, is of course still required to make genetic progress.

In short, the inclusion of genomic information adds value to traditional genetic evaluations, rather than replacing them. You can read more about the impact of SingleStep BREEDPLAN on page 22 of the magazine

In response to member feedback, as part of our Adoption and Extension pillar, we have been working with key suppliers such as ABRI and Neogen to update BREEDPLAN and DNA fact and information sheets. You will have seen the first of these, including short videos, released as part of the June e-News edition.

Over the coming months, we will make some small changes to the Herefords Australia website to ensure these resources are easier to find and with easy links to reference websites, such as the MLA Genetics Hub. The 2021 Member Survey highlighted Marketing and Promotion as one of the top priorities for the company.

As I reported in my 2022 AGM presentation, the Hereford breed does not have an awareness issue – the breed is well known. The marketing opportunity is more one of consideration - why would I buy Hereford genetics, Hereford bulls and in the case of lot feeders and processors why Hereford steers?

While advertising has a role to play, stories and features in the media that showcase ‘the why’ and those benefits relevant to a particular target audience are one of the best ways to shift consideration. Over the past 12 months we have focused on driving more positive stories in the media, and this is now one of our key measures.

We monitor the reach we achieve with our target audience (commercial producers) and our share of voice (or share of audience) relative to other breeds each month.

Our goal during campaign periods is to ensure our share of voice is greater than our breed market share and I am pleased to report this has been achieved or exceeded over the autumn 2022 period. There is always more work to be done and I encourage members who feel they have a Hereford highlight, or a story to share that can help to demonstrate the commercial relevance of our breed to get in touch with the office.

A recent highlight has been the opportunity to work more closely with our National Youth Committee and I look forward to attending the Herefords Australia National Youth Expo next month. It has also been a privilege to be part of the CM Hocking scholarship selection panel.

We were overwhelmed with the calibre of applicants this year and I can honestly say I walked away from the various interviews feeling both personally inspired and genuinely excited about the role these young people will play in taking the Hereford breed forward.

I wish members all the best with their upcoming spring sales.

Warm regards,

Lisa Sharp

Three new directors welcomed to HAL Board THE Herefords Australia Limited (HAL) Board has welcomed three new directors following the appointment of Sam Broinowski, Alex Sparkes and Annie Pumpa at the company’s annual general meeting in April.

With more than three decades of experience in stud and commercial operations, Mr Broinowski, returns to the HAL Board after previously serving in 2019 and 2020.

Mr Sparkes is a sixth-generation grazier and Poll Hereford breeder from Taroom in Queensland and joins the Board for a four-year term after filling a casual vacancy since September 2020.

First-time director and youth industry leader, Ms Pumpa is based in Wodonga, Victoria and brings extensive commercial industry expertise across beef supply chains.

In March 2022, the Board appointed retired Poll Hereford breeder and corporate governance expert Mark Baker as a HAL director. Mr Baker had filled a casual Board vacancy since September 2020.

HAL chairman Ian Durkin said he was pleased to be part of a board diverse in gender, age, industry, and life experience.

“Boards need to have a broad mix of skills, knowledge, and experience, and as Chair, my goal is to facilitate an environment that sees us work as a well-rounded team relevant to the purpose, needs and strategies of the company,” Mr Durkin said.

“With more than 30 years’ experience in commercial and stud operations, Sam is driven by ensuring the Hereford breed and genetics have a strong future in a modern cattle industry, while Alex’s background in digital technologies will build on our focus to ensure there is appropriate data and evidence to support breed claims.

“As the president of the Herefords Australia National Youth Committee and NSW winner in Cattle Council Australia’s 2021 Rising Champions Award, Annie brings next generation industry perspective and leadership to the team and is a strong advocate of R&D to demonstrate the regional strengths of Herefords across the country.”

Mr Durkin said two long-serving directors, Geoff Birchnell and the Honourable Trish Worth AM, retired in line with the Board constitution and thanked them for their service to the HAL Board and the breed.

“Geoff and Trish were instrumental in establishing the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee, and its ongoing activities, and were also extensively involved in the most recent review of the Constitution, changes to company rules and regulations.

“During her tenure, Trish also served as Chair and Geoff assumed responsibility for member liaison duties.

“On behalf of the Board, staff and our members, I wish them both well in their future endeavours and thank them for their considerable service.”

Outgoing director, the Honourable Trish Worth AM said she had enjoyed her time and achievements whilst on the Board and would continue her work promoting the breed.

“Herefords are great cattle – they are docile, have strong fertility, longevity and ability to do well on grass, and the cows have a strong mothering instinct,” Ms Worth said.

“I am looking forward to continuing to breed Herefords and promote them, particularly in my local area.”

Following Ms Pumpa’s appointment to the HAL Board, Alicia Trovatello, from Redesdale Victoria, has taken on the acting president role for the Herefords Australia National Youth Committee.

Alex Sparkes, Annie Pumpa and Sam Broinowski have been appointed as directors of Herefords Australia Limited.

Hereford breeders honoured with 2022 Australia Day Awards Two long time Hereford breeders were honoured with Order of Australia Medals in 2022.

Jim Gough, Branxholme, Vic, is a sheep and cattle breeder, show judge and long serving federal councillor of Australian Corriedale Association and Herefords Australia.

He received an OAM for his service to the livestock industry.

He served as vice president of the Beef Improvement Association of Australia and was the recipient of the Howard Yelland Award for outstanding service to the Australian beef industry in 2012.

Sue Gunn owned and ran the Sevenbardot Poll Hereford stud at Goondiwindi and then Bylong with husband Jim until its dispersal in 2017.

Sue was awarded an OAM for service to equestrian sport, was a former director of the Sydney International Equestrian Centre and ran the Denman Horse Trials for many years.

Ripper bull a standout in catalogue and pulls in record price of $120,000

By Rowan Koebel A 17-month-old sire sold by Yavenvale Poll Hereford and Herefords set a high benchmark for the on-property 2022 bull sales circuit, selling for $120,000 to a Victorian stud herd.

The homozygous polled Yavenvale Ripper R510 boasts an impressive set of BREEDPLAN data, measuring in the top 1 per cent of the Hereford breed for scrotal size, top 5 percent for 400-day weight and eye muscle area (EMA) and top 10 percent for rump fat and intramuscular fat (IMF).

Ripper is also within the top 15 per cent for all four Hereford selection indexes.

A son of Wirruna Nixon N168 and out of Yavenvale Marianne N466 (a daughter of New Zealand sire Monymusk Gallant 110089), Ripper had stood out from a young age, according to Yavenvale stud principal James Pearce.

The combination of phenotype, temperament and a notable set of data was too good an opportunity to allow to pass by for Barry Newcomen, Newcomen Herefords, Ensay.

Interest in Ripper prior to the auction had been apparent according to Mr Pearce, however the incredible sale result was not something the Yavenvale team could have anticipated.

According to Mr Newcomen, a significant semen enquiry prior to the sale from the McIntosh family at Bonegilla, Victoria for their commercial Hereford enterprise was another helping factor when it came to the purchase of Ripper.

There has since been semen enquiry from New Zealand and Australian breeders.

Adding to the incredible success of the day was a notable second top price of $74,000 paid by Scott and Pip Hann, Truro Whiteface, Bellata for Yavenvale Real Deal R125, a 24-month-old son of Morganvale Magic M303.

The final wrap up of the results on the day saw the Pearce family sell 128 of 133 bulls offered with a $11,787 average and bulls selling to five states.

James Pearce was ecstatic with the new record price for the stud and the support shown for their program with around 300 people attending the sale in person and over 80 bidders registered online.

Kathleen’s appointment aligns with breed’s new five-year road map Kathleen Allan has joined Herefords Australia in line with the organisation’s refreshed prioritisation of marketing and promotion, registry and member services, business development and R & D activities.

Ms Allan was appointed as Breed and Business Development Manager following a 20-year career with Meat and Livestock Australia, Sheepmeat Council of Australia, Grains Research and Development Corporation and regulatory, program management and policy roles with the Australian Government.

HAL chief executive officer Lisa Sharp said the appointment aligned with the organisation’s new fiveyear road map to clearly demonstrate and communicate Hereford’s outstanding performance across the key profit drivers of beef business.

“Kathleen is fiercely passionate about agriculture, advocacy and capacity building, and brings many years of experience in producer extension and adoption to the breed,” Ms Sharp said.

“Her strong stakeholder engagement skills will be critical to ensure our research and development outcomes are well communicated and adopted by our members, and to the broader industry for commercial benefit.”

As a fifth generation Yass district farmer, Ms Allan has a clear understanding of the commercial profit drivers of the beef and red meat industry.

Her expertise across other ag sectors and comprehensive understanding of consumers insights means she brings a level of independence and objectivity to the Hereford breed.

Breed and Business Development Manager Kathleen Allan.

“It is exciting to be part of an organisation which is on the cusp of implementing a new strategy that has clear and measurable goals for the Hereford breed,” Ms Allan said.

“There will be great opportunities to build member and stakeholder confidence by demonstrating the return on investment from HAL R & D programs and to build a commercial relevance for the industry.”

Ms Allan will focus on adoption activities for management programs supporting backgrounding and feedlot induction, and developing breeding resources for commercial producers.

She is working closely with R&D project managers, including a major initiative to connect eating quality data and commercial carcase records back to Hereford’s performance recording genetics.

Whiteface producers pocket an overall extra $128 a head

By Kim Woods Whiteface vendors pocketed an extra $167 a head for heifers and $133 for their steers above other British breeds at the 82nd annual Mountain Calf Sales.

Held at Benambra, Ensay and Omeo on March 8-9, the Mountain Calf Sales yarded 6280 cattle in the Elders dedicated sales to average $2185.

Autumn drop whiteface steer prices peaked at Ensay at $2780 and heifers at Omeo at $2900.

Across the Benambra, Ensay and Omeo sales, the Hereford mixed sex calves grossed $8,067,245.

Going into the sales, widespread bumper seasonal conditions, record cattle prices and strong lotfeeder and processor demand had created the perfect storm for the annual fixture.

Jubilant vendors celebrated a rise in averages by $500$600 on last year, pointing to future investment in genetics, fertiliser, pasture and debt reduction.

It was the bidding frenzy by restockers for heifers which left vendors and spectators gasping with prices rocketing to $2900, a price unseen at the Omeo saleyards for autumn drop weaners and resulting in a windfall for high country producers who had held females back for the two-day event.

The majority of cattle sold to Gippsland, Victoria’s northeast, King Island, the Riverina, and South Australia.

Repeat steer finishers did not hold back when it came to bidding on the heavy end.

Typical of those was Lancefield finisher Arthur Angliss who has bought the same Shorthorn-Hereford and Hereford lines for the past decade for JBS grass fed programs.

He was quick to reinvest, paying the top whiteface steer price of the whole circuit of $2780 at Ensay for steers to grass finish over winter.

The whiteface offering hit its peak when 1459 Hereford and Hereford cross steers and heifers were sold at Omeo on March 9 for an overall average of $2269 – a far cry from just three years ago when the top average was $793.

The Omeo sale averaged $2343 for steers and $2126 for heifers.

This outpaced the steer average at the Omeo Angus sale on March 8 by $133, the heifers by $167 and the overall sale average by $128.

The overall average for the Elders Benambra Weaner Sale was $2146, with steers averaging $2289 and heifers $1966.

A total of 1212 mixed sex whiteface cattle were yarded at Benambra.

A total of 968 head were offered at Ensay with steers averaging $2262 and heifers $2168.

In comparison, Omeo’s Angus and Black Baldy sale yarded 2641 cattle for an overall average of $2141, a $2210 steer average and $2001 average for the heifers.

So, how were the whiteface calves tracking on a cents per kilogram basis?

Unfortunately, just a few vendors regularly display indicative green weights on their steers each year.

Donald Betts, Bairnsdale, offered spring drop, milk tooth purebred steers weighing 632kg to return an estimated curfewed price of 510c/kg at Hinnomunjie, while at Ensay Craig Lloyd sold 414kg Hereford and Shorthorn/ Hereford steers for a curfewed price of 651c/kg and 329kg steers for 708c/kg.

Barry Newcomen, Ensay, sold EU accredited Hereford steers, autumn drop and 428kg, for 684c/kg, 342kg steers for 701c/kg, and 300kg steers for 736c/kg.

Many of the lighter weight weaner steers sold for an estimated $10/kg, according to Elders auctioneer Morgan Davies.

Omeo producer Simon Lawlor was enjoying riding the wave of returns on his steers and heifers, which have tripled in value over the past three years.

“It’s really nice to see the Hereford breed truly is doing well in the saleyards,” he said.

“These beautiful big Herefords have performed and sold really well. It is validation for sticking with the breed and we will stick with them forever.”

Whiteface cattle tracked above other British breeds by an average of up to $167 during the 82nd annual Mountain Calf Sales.

SUPER SIRES

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

Young bulls join the elite ranks of the Herefords Australia Super Sires The latest group of eight young sires have been selected to join the Herefords Australia Super Sires catalogue.

They are: • Warwick Court Quick Q030* • Wirruna Qantas Q036 • Elite Trust Q066 • Yavenvale Romeo R055* • Morganvale Ravioli R41* • Days Godfather R077* • Injemira Kickstart P093 R153 • Tarcombe Lottery R208 * Denotes new breeder to Super Sires program The Super Sires program was launched in 2018 with the aim of identifying higher performing genetics within the breed. The program seeks young sire candidates expressing a balance of favourable traits at the highest level.

The first bull selected in phase one of the program was Wirruna Matty M288 who has gone on to prove himself in several stud and commercial herds around Australia.

Following the launch of phase two of the program in 2021, the battery of Super Sires grew to 14 bulls which are: • Wirruna Matty M288 (Phase One Sire) • Ravensdale Spark M037 • Glentrevor Trust N909 • Wirruna Pilot P054 • Elite M202 P101 • Tarcombe McLaren Q203 • Injemira Robert Redford Q287 • Elite M202 Q008 • Jarrah Fortune Q236 • Kidman Hitman Q067 1 • Quamby Plains Qantas Q467 • Tobruk Queenstown Q004 • Wirruna Quarterback Q281 • Warringa Rumpole R206 The newest cohort of eight bulls to join the catalogue include bulls from four studs which have not previously had bulls nominated in the Super Sires program.

The expansion of the catalogue and inclusion of bulls from a range of

studs and bloodlines offers greater diversity to the Super Sires program, giving breeders greater choice when selecting a Super Sire to potentially use in their operation.

Herefords Australia Technical Committee chairman (and breeder of one of the new Super Sires) Lachy Day said the addition of bulls from new herds was “really pleasing to see.”

“The fact there are more herds involved should indicate there is a more diverse range of genetics hitting the mark,” Mr Day said.

As with all the bulls added to the catalogue as part of Phase Two of the Super Sires Program, anyone wishing to purchase semen in any of the newly listed sires must contact individual breeders/owners of bulls for semen pricing and purchase.

Once a nominated bull is accepted into the Super Sires program, he will remain classed as a Super Sire regardless of future changes in his EBVs or indexes.

The selection list for phase two of the Super Sire Program is generated twice in a 12-month period, at the beginning of December and the beginning of June.

Selection criteria is as follows: ANIMAL DETAILS • Animal is Active • Animal is Male

CARCASE

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

Black baldies superior weight gain gets them over the line Hereford infused steers showed their dominance in feedlot performance by taking out the champion in the 2022 Beef Spectacular Feedback Trial.

The HGP-free trial drew 39 individual vendors with 375 head across 20 breeds and crosses.

The cattle were fed for 112 days at the Teys Jindalee Feedlot in southern NSW and the steers had an average daily gain of 1.7kg.

The black baldy team from Maurice, James and Tim Reid, Melon Pastoral Company, Roslyn, NSW, had an average daily gain over 2kg and scored 260 points out of 350 to win the feedlot performance section, finishing 11th overall on 693 points.

The team’s profit of $1301.82 above the average placed them fourth overall for profitability.

Melon Pastoral manager Tim Reid said the September/October 2019 drop steers were out of Angus cows and by JTR Poll Hereford bulls including JTR 2 Patrick M015.

Melon Pastoral first entered the trial five years ago to gain more feedback Hereford females impress on their cattle as progeny are normally Hereford producer Mick Corkhill sold as weaners for backgrounding and took out the best pen of heifers at lotfeeding. the Boorowa Commercial Cattle Hereford bulls are used in the 450-cow Competition in February. herd to back up artificial insemination Mr Corkhill, of “Tarengo”, Boorowa, programs. was awarded the best pen of heifers Mr Reid selects sires with the aim of by judges Justin and Amy Dickens, increasing eating quality in the carcase.

Herefords have the goods in heavyweight grainfed hoof and hook

By Rowan Koebel Purebred Hereford steers placed highly in the Northern Schools Steer Competition, held in late 2021 at Inverell, NSW. Inverell High School purchased three Hereford steers in March 2021, with the intention of exhibiting them at the Colin Say & Co Beef Extravaganza in September.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, the steers were withdrawn from that competition and sent to the Northern Schools Steer Competition in November instead.

Two of the steers were purchased from the local area, from Angus, Eunice and Will Vivers, Jindalee Herefords, Kings Plains, NSW. The third steer was purchased from Daryl and Therese Rawson, Rawson Pastoral Services, Willow Tree, NSW. The Jindalee steers were both sired

by Jindalee bulls, whilst the Rawson steer was sired by a Vena Park bull.

Two of the three steers were exhibited at the Herefords Queensland Youth Show, held at

Millmerran Showgrounds in July 2021. Bruiser (ex-Rawson) was placed third and Gussy (ex-Jindalee) placed fourth in the led steer class.

All the steers were on grain for 232 days, with an average daily weight gain of 1.4 kg.

Andrew Simmonds from Bindaree Beef judged the entries on the hoof and the hook judge was Tahnee Manton from NSW Local Land Services.

The hoof results are as follows: • Wilbur (ex-Jindalee) weighing 640kg liveweight placed 1st in the heavyweight class 3 600 plus kg, scoring 47 out of 50.

• Bruiser (ex-Rawson) weighing 592kg liveweight placed 2nd in the heavyweight class 2 551 – 600kg, scoring 48 points out of 50 and reserve champion heavyweight steer.

• Gussy (ex-Jindalee) weighing 94kg liveweight placed 6th in the heavyweight class 2 551 – 600kg, scoring 44 points out of 50.

Wilbur went on to win the heavyweight class on the hook and was sashed reserve champion heavyweight carcase on 86.5 points.

The carcase had a dressed weight of 349kg, dressing percentage of 54.5, 12mm fat at the P8, 98 sqcm rib eye and scored a five for marbling.

All the steers from this competition were processed by long time competition supporters Bindaree Beef and purchased by Coles.

POSITIONING HEREFORDS

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

Spotlight on member engagement REFRESHING engagement across the supply chain to clearly position the Hereford breed as a major profit driver of beef businesses is key to successful delivery of the Herefords Australia 2022-2027 Strategic Plan.

While we are working with participants across Australia’s beef supply chain, enhancing our engagement with members will set the foundations to support demand for Hereford genetics and strengthen the breed’s reputation for productivity and profitability.

Late last year, as part of operating structure changes, long-term Herefords Australia Limited (HAL) employee, Ambrose Kenney, was appointed as Registry and Member Services Manager, with Naomi Oehlers taking on the Registry and Member Services Assistant role in early April.

Ambrose brings her in-depth knowledge of the Hereford breed to the team, while Naomi has previous experience working for Dairy Express, Australia’s largest supplier of herd management information services to the dairy industry.

Together, they are working across the business to drive continuous improvement in all areas of member services, with a focus on making online platforms easier to use.

In response to a membership survey last year, members now receive one single invoice each month. While this is a small administrative change, the new invoicing process has been received favourably by members and demonstrates our commitment to listening and responding to concerns.

Youth capacity building is also central to HAL’s member engagement strategy given its value to the long-term success of the breed.

A new five-year partnership with the Australian Intercollegiate Meat Judging (ICMJ) Association, announced in April, has already proven to be beneficial to reaching agribusiness university students and early career participants during the ICMJ Northern Conference in Rockhampton.

As young people start considering career options in the beef supply chain, exposing them to Herefords’ carcase and genetic qualities generates enthusiasm for the breed and creates interest in career pathways.

Grants targeted to youth, including the Herefords Australia National Youth Travel Scholarship and the CM Hocking Scholarship continue to attract high-quality participants who are keen to develop and expand their breed knowledge.

We have assessed the applications for this year’s recipient of the $5000 CM Hocking Scholarship with the successful recipient announced this month.

In Wodonga, a ‘Governance in Action’ training session was conducted with the National Youth Committee, where members engaged in the review, design, and development of a refreshed committee charter.

This practical approach gave young members ownership of the framework that will set the committee up for success ahead of the call for new members following the National Youth Heifer Expo.

Set to be held in Wodonga in July, the Expo is already shaping up to be a successful event with 80 next generation Hereford and industry stakeholders registered to attend.

The Expo will provide the opportunity for young participants to obtain hands-on experience with Hereford heifers, while building knowledge and understanding of the beef industry.

Members, especially emerging and smaller studs, are benefitting from HAL’s support for vendor breed shows and sales.

The investment in multi-vendor sales also offers larger more established studs another route to market for their cattle.

This year, Wodonga Show and Sale entries were up nearly 30 per cent, reflecting ongoing strong seasonal conditions and the value our members believe the event delivers. Dubbo entries are up by a similar percentage.

Herefords Australia brings together a unique community of like-minded people, facilitating events that enable members to network and engage with others who share similar challenges and opportunities.

As we continue to modestly grow our membership, we remain committed to hosting formal member surveys every two years to ensure we are continuing to focus on the priorities important to our members.

However, receiving timely feedback through more informal channels is equally valuable to strengthening our members’ experience.

We actively encourage members to share their ideas and suggestions with the HAL team on an ongoing basis so we can continuously improve our services and ultimately, work together to secure the long-term future of the Hereford breed in Australia.

LOT FEEDING

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

Royal Oak Beef co-owner and feedlot manager Greg Clark.

SUPERIOR FEED CONVERSION AND WEIGHT GAIN BY HEREFORDS AT ROYAL OAK Hereford feeder steers have shown their superior weight gain off grain at a southern NSW feedlot achieving a feed conversion ratio of five-to-one to beat all benchmarks set since the facility began over four years ago.

The custom feeding operation, Royal Oak Beef, is located at West Wyalong and consists of a 1000 head accredited feedlot and 303ha cropping operation.

Royal Oak has fed lines of milk tooth Hereford steers, including a 350 head consignment, on a 60-day program for processing at Teys, Tamworth, for Woolworths.

The draft inducted in 2021 had an entry weight of 382kg and exit liveweight of 590kg and dressed weight of 310kg to result in an average daily weight gain of 3.22kg.

The cattle were part of 2100 head sourced from multiple vendors by commercial producer, Willinga Park, Bawley Point, for its World Champion Gold Buckle Campdraft, and were grown out at its 2000ha backgrounding property, Hillview, at Murrumbateman.

Royal Oak Beef co-owner and feedlot manager Greg Clark said the cattle had demonstrated the ideal temperament, had plenty of frame and quickly settled straight onto feed.

The Royal Oak Beef ration includes a mix of lucerne and grain for the first two weeks, before moving on to a barley, cotton seed, chopped silage, vegetable oil and molassesbased mineral liquid supplement for finishing.

“One of the biggest issues with feedlot cattle is getting their intake levels up quickly but that was no issue with the Herefords – they hit the feed bunk and never missed a beat,” Mr Clarke said.

“These cattle had the right temperament and were able to relax onto the feed.

Pat Cleary, ECM Livestock, who oversees the procurement for Willinga Park, described the Hereford’s feedlot performance as “remarkable”.

“Across any breed, I haven’t seen a performance like this.

Averaging more than 3kg a day is a massive number, and these are cattle which were already in good condition – it’s an outstanding result,” Mr Cleary said.

Herefords Australia chief executive officer Lisa Sharp said the results from Royal Oak Beef highlighted the breed’s ability to be high performing on both grain and grass.

“Herefords have long been known as the kings on grass, but these results drum home how successfully they can perform in a feedlot setting,” Ms Sharp said.

“The favourable traits synonymous with Herefords including a quiet temperament and rapid weight gain to achieve maximum yields, is strikingly evident in this case.

“The excellent results are a credit to the bloodlines and the successful backgrounding and feedlot programs which have nurtured them.”

Royal Oak Beef grow and store their own cereal silage in bunkers for the feedlot and have a heat loading plan in place to keep cattle as comfortable as possible.

Greg Clarke said excessive heat load was an issue taken seriously in feedlots.

Heat loads occur when heat in the animal’s body is greater than what they can dissipate. Those at greatest risk are the ones with underlying health problems, certain breeds of darker colouring and those on the full rations as grain creates internal heat.

“To manage times of heat loading we use the website chit.com.au (cattle heat load toolbox) which is specifically designed to give us a heat load index threshold for our area,” Mr Clarke said.

“By using predicted temperatures and information, the tipping point for when cattle will accumulate heat loads is predicted.

“With these predictions and warnings, we can then put into place our heat management plan which includes daily and regular monitoring of cattle behaviour such as panting or stress levels.”

ROYAL OAK ALSO …

•

Cuts back grain levels in the rations a few days prior to the extreme event • Places extra water supply into pens • Limits the number of cattle in pens • Moves vulnerable cattle to shaded areas • Maintains pen conditions – extra cleaning as manure and wet areas create more heat • Places straw around as it reflects heat so the cattle aren’t absorbing heat as much through their hooves • Summer rations contain Betaine which is a supplement to assist in water retention and has an energy sparing effect “By implementing these strategies, we assist the cattle in maintaining their feed intake, reduce the risk of production losses and in extreme cases manage to stop tissue and organ damage,” Mr Clark said.

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

Kings on grass also rule over grain at Southern Cross Feedlot HEREFORD cattle have long been touted the kings on grass, but after years of analysing feedlot performance data, a South Australian feedlot manager has backed the breed as an elite performer on grain too.

Thomas Foods International Feedlot General Manager Thomas Green oversees the company’s Southern Cross Feedlot, an operation set to expand from 17,000 head to a 30,000 head capacity next year.

Mr Thomas said the information now flowing from lotfeeders quashed the misconception Herefords were most suited to grass-fed production and the most powerful driver of grain feeding success was ensuring the fundamentals of feedlot induction were right: effective weaning, respiratory vaccinations, sound structure, suitable temperament and good handling.

“The clear message I have is there are more variants within breeds, than between breeds,” Mr Thomas said.

“We have found there are high performers and low performers in every composite. From my perspective, I can certainly back the Hereford breed as I have seen some tremendous performances and carcase results.”

Mr Thomas said temperament, which the Hereford breed is well regarded for, was paramount as feedlot managers prioritised the health and safety of their staff and cattle.

“Calm animals are less prone to injuries, and less prone to injure staff, which is a big one for me personally,” he said.

He also encouraged producers to ensure their cattle were fully weaned, and treated with the necessary vaccinations, prior to sale.

“High protein diets at weaning, and respiratory vaccinations are not cheap, but they are important, and its proven cattle with these requirements fulfilled are receiving premiums at sales.”

Overall, Mr Thomas praised Hereford breeders for their continued and firm focus on commercial traits rather than superficial phenotypical characteristics, such as coat colour, which have no bearing on performance.

Thomas Foods International Feedlot General Manager Thomas Green.

In 2019, Mr Thomas investigated the complexity of beef production through a coveted Nuffield Scholarship, particularly exploring the importance of animal welfare.

Based on the findings of that work, he believes it is imperative for producers to develop relationships with the key stakeholders in their supply chains, to tailor the breeding of their feeder lines.

“There are producers who I describe as being the ‘one percenters’, these are people who have developed relationships with their next link in the supply chain, and they are receiving premiums for their cattle year-onyear,” he said.

“At the moment, the market is booming, so all cattle are being snapped up and sold at record prices.

“However, this isn’t always the case, and it’s the one percenters building solid relationships with their customers who are striving regardless of market conditions.”

Lessons from the introduction of Hereford Single-Step BREEDPLAN

By Catriona Millen, SBTS technical officer In October 2017, the first multi-country Single-Step BREEDPLAN analysis was released for the Hereford breed.

Pedigree, performance and genomic information from three societies (Herefords Australia (HAL), the New Zealand Hereford Association (NZHA) and the Hereford Cattle Breeders Society of Namibia (HCBSN) is combined in a complete multi-trait BREEDPLAN analysis of birth, growth, fertility, carcase and feed intake traits.

Since the release of the first Single-Step BREEDPLAN analysis, many Hereford producers have been keen to understand what impact Single-Step BREEDPLAN has had.

We set out to address this, presenting a paper at the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics (AAABG) conference in Armidale in October 2019.

The full paper is entitled “Two Years In: Lessons from the Introduction of Hereford Single-Step BREEDPLAN” and can be found on the AAABG conference website or by scanning the QR code.

A summary of the key findings of this paper (along with some updated genotyping statistics) is presented below.

HEREFORD PRODUCERS EMBRACE GENOTYPING There has been a 13.1 fold increase in the number of animals genotyped following the release of Single-Step BREEDPLAN, from 3651 animals in the October 2017 analysis to 47,800 animals in the May 2022 analysis.

The majority of genotypes are supplied by HAL, although there has been a steady increase in the proportion of NZHA genotypes over this period. Given the linkage between countries, the benefits of Single-Step BREEDPLAN will extend to members in all three Hereford breed societies no matter the origin of the genotypes used.

There have also been marked changes to the category of Hereford animals with genotypes. In the first Hereford Single-Step BREEDPLAN analysis, 29 per cent of animals with genotypes were born prior to 2010 (earliest 1961) and 39 per cent in 2015 or later (Figure 1).

Just 16 per cent of those animals were female. In May 2022, less than 4 per cent of animals with genotypes were born prior to 2010 (Figure 1). In contrast, 88 per cent were born in 2015 or later (Figure 1). The percentage of females with genotypes has also continued to increase, with females now comprising 37 per cent of those animals with genotypes.

The rapid growth in the size of the reference population suggests that Hereford breeders have been embracing genotyping technology.

In particular, the growth in both the percentage of younger animals genotyped and the percentage of female animals genotyped indicates that Hereford producers have genotyped not only older sires but are also genotyping the younger animals (e.g. young bulls and replacement heifers) in their herds.

This is to be expected as the greatest benefit of genomics will be seen in these animals, with increased EBV accuracy at earlier ages. In addition, changing requirements in recent years for animal registration (e.g. parent verification (where using one of the HAL bundles); compulsory SNP genotyping for certain classes of animals) are likely to have contributed to this rapid uptake.

GENOMIC DATA IMPACTS BREEDPLAN EBVS The AAABG paper showed the introduction of Hereford Single-Step BREEDPLAN has had three main effects: 1. EBV Movement for Individual Animals While the inclusion of genomic information did not change the breed average EBVs, the EBVs of individual animals have changed considerably. Across traits, EBV movement occurred in both directions, with some EBVs increasing and others decreasing. This EBV movement was more pronounced in genotyped non-parent animals (e.g. young animals) than for sires, although EBV movements were evident for both groups. This likely reflects the EBV accuracy prior to the inclusion of genomic information; young animals, with lower EBV accuracy, showed greater EBV movement.

2. Increased EBV Variance (Spread) The inclusion of genomic information has led to increased EBV variance (spread) for most traits. This increase in EBV spread is useful for Hereford producers as it better allows the identification of animals at the extremes. The genetically superior animals can be selected for breeding programs, while the genetically inferior animals can be culled from breeding programs.

3. Increased EBV Accuracy The inclusion of genomic information has also led to an increase in EBV accuracy. This increase is greatest for animals with a low EBV accuracy prior to the inclusion of genomic data; this trend is consistent across traits (Figure 2). However, the magnitude of the increase in EBV accuracy varied across traits. For 200 Day Weight, the average increase in EBV accuracy for animals with a prior EBV accuracy of ≤20 per cent was 30 per cent; for Days to Calving (DtC) it was 5.5 per cent (Figure 2).

These differences appear to be largely dependent on the heritability (the percentage of variation in the trait that is explained by genetics) and the size of the reference population (animals with both genotypes and phenotypes) for the individual trait.

Investigation showed over 85 per cent of animals with genotypes had a 200 Day Weight record; less than 5 per cent had a DtC record. Therefore, to increase the “boost” to EBV accuracy from genomics, it remains critical Hereford producers continue to collect performance information for a range of traits.

Genomics has given Hereford producers more reliable information (in the form of EBVs), which can be used to make more informed selection decisions. In turn, this should help to improve the rate of genetic gain within CONTINUED PAGE 24

the population. In this way, genomics is “boosting” the rate of genetic improvement that can be made.

Recording of quality performance information, and the use of this information to make informed selection decisions, is still required to make genetic progress.

The inclusion of genomic information adds value to traditional genetic evaluations, rather than replacing them.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION ALSO CRITICAL FOR BREEDPLAN EBVS To demonstrate the value of performance data, the study investigated what would happen to EBVs if the genomics data remained in the analysis, but the phenotypic data of several traits, including DtC, was removed.

The study showed removing DtC phenotypes from the BREEDPLAN analysis led to decreased spread in DtC EBVs; without DtC phenotypes, DtC EBVs moved closer back towards the average.

The removal of DtC performance information also affected DtC EBV accuracy, which fell from an average of 80 per cent to an average of 61 per cent. This clearly showed that even with genomic information in the analysis, phenotypes remain a critical part of genetic evaluations, and highlights the importance of continued collection of performance information into the future.

CROSSBREEDING

Increasing fertility, feed efficiency and profit through heterosis

By Kim Woods Hereford genetics can help to maximise the value of a Bos taurus or Bos indicus cow herd with added fertility, feed efficiency, docility and ultimately profitability to the commercial producer’s advantage.

Using Hereford bulls over British or Brahman based cows results in a maternal advantage by adding value to replacement females.

Southern NSW producer Andrew MacDougall moved from a purebred Hereford herd to a two-way cross with Shorthorn, achieving an eight per cent gain in average weaning weight, followed by a three-way cross with Angus to access further gains.

“We were crossing Angus over the Hereford-Shorthorn cows and the cows sired by an Angus bull were then joined to either Hereford or Shorthorn,” Mr MacDougall said.

“We found the biggest gains in the crossbred females with increased calf weaning weights and a rise in pregnancy rate, reduced days to calving and calving interval due to early puberty and body condition.”

Mr MacDougall said the crossbreeding program resulted in increased stocking rates and kilograms of beef per DSE. “When breeding for profit, stocking rate is the number one driver and the crossbreeding is the icing on the cake.”

For those considering crossbreeding, he advises buying the best bulls possible from each breed to suit their system.

“Once you get those second cross cows, it can become complex but the benefits are worth a few extra days drafting cows on colour etc to get the results you want.

“The crossbred cow is a fantastic female – the data says it and the phenotype does too.”

Mr MacDougall said the cull crossbred females were not penalised over the hooks but there was a slight discount for a PTIC female in the saleyards.

“Don’t let that overrule your decision as at the end of the day you are looking at profit.

“Around 95 per cent of our progeny end up in the feedlot

and the results we are getting back from JBS is the steers are performing well.”

The Herefords Australia Black Baldy Program used 30 Angus and 30 Hereford sires (all BREEDPLAN recorded) mated to 1100 Angus cows and heifers over three years, resulting in 743 steers slaughtered and heifers retained in the herd.

Hereford sired calves were heavier at birth, weaning and slaughter but had lower intramuscular fat.

A greater proportion of Hereford sired heifers were pubertal at joining and went on to wean two calves from two opportunities.

In the Circle A Ranch heterosis project in the US in 2007, Hereford sired calves were 5.4kg heavier than Angus sired calves, were similar for fat depth, had a 5.9kg heavier carcase with slightly bigger eye muscle areas, an average daily gain of 0.07kg a day higher, and heifer calves were worth $110 more than the pure Angus.

University of Adelaide’s School of Animal Veterinary Science Professor Wayne Pitchford spoke on the science behind the balck baldy and crossbreeding at the Holbrook Beef Genetics forum hosted by Wirruna Poll Herefords and Rennylea Angus.

Professor Pitchford said heterosis, or hybrid vigour, results in extra growth, improved maternal traits and a reduced chance of recessive disorders.

Professor Pitchford said birthweight could have a significant impact in a Hereford x Bos indicus cross.

“With a Hereford bull over a Brahman dam, the calf will be low birthweight but if it is a Brahman bull over a Hereford cow, the birthweights can end up big,” he said.

“This is nothing to do with milk supply but the genetics being expressed based on which sex they were inherited from.”

During his research Prof Pitchford found the Brahman/ Hereford cross had 1 per cent heterosis for growth on low quality pasture but this increased to 13 per cent on medium quality pasture and 21 per cent on high quality 2 pasture.

“The heterosis is not improving the efficiency of the animal but is increasing appetite – when the appetite is able to be met on the high-quality pasture, they are able to take in more energy and the heterosis can be expressed.”

Increasing fertility, feed efficiency and profit through heterosis cont’ FROM PAGE 28

NSW beef producer Joe Weir, Finley, joins Hereford bulls to Brahman heifers sourced out of the Queensland gulf region.

The crossbred progeny are backgrounded before being lot fed for 60 days to achieve a carcase with 10mm fat and 56 per cent yield for the local butcher trade.

“The progeny are good Hereford cross calves and we had no calving problems,” Mr Weir said.

He selects his Hereford bulls on calving ease, temperament and red meat yield.

Professor Wayne Pitchford said the effect of being crossbred increases the weight of calf weaned per cow joined by eight per cent.

The effect of having a crossbred mother, through slightly higher pregnancy rate, calf survival and growth rates and milk supply, added another 15 per cent.

The effect of a three-way cross on average is a 23 per cent increase in performance.

Prof Pitchford said if a black baldy is crossed with a black baldy, the progeny is termed an F2 and half of the heterosis is lost in the calf.

There is now commercialised DNA technology for black and red baldies - Igenity Beef is a genomic profile designed

for crossbred commercial cattle and uses DNA to predict genetic merit in both heifers and steers, providing an additional heifer selection tool to cattle producers.

It reports on 16 key maternal, performance and carcase traits plus three indexes and parentage, allowing producers to rank cattle based on their operation goals.

The American Hereford Association conducted a three-year crossbreeding research study in partnership with Lacey Livestock, Harris Ranch Feeding Co and Harris Ranch Beef Company.

The study compared the results of randomly mated Angus based cows to Hereford bulls and Angus bulls. The final analysis included 297 Angus-sired steers and 284 Herefordsired steers.

Pregnancy rates for Hereford-sired females averaged 7 per cent higher than those of the Angus-sired heifers. Economic performance favoured Hereford-sired calves in the feedlot in two of the three years, with an average return of US$30 (AUD$42) per head.

Overall net return for the Hereford-sired calves was approximately US$30 (AUD$42) per head in a vertically coordinated beef marketing system, not including the maternal advantages of the baldy female.

Herefords Australia Youth Coordinator’s report Firstly, I’d like to say farewell to Helen De Costa and thank her for all her time and effort contributed over the years.

Even though Helen is no longer a youth member, we look forward to continuing having her help, especially at this year’s Expo.

A big congratulations to our outgoing president Annie Pumpa on becoming a board director with a particular focus on youth liaison, and continuing a close working relationship with the National Youth Committee.

Stepping up to the National Youth President is long time Committee member Alicia Trovatello.

A quick mention to those who donated to the youth auctions held at the Herefords Australia National Wodonga Bull Sale dinner, with some awesome genetic packages and prints to name a few. A huge congratulation and thank you to those who bought these items as the proceeds go towards helping make the National Expo a successful event.

It’s been a long two years without a National Youth Expo, but we are heavily in the midst of planning the 2022 Herefords Australia National Youth Expo for July 6-9, 2022.

There are three great opportunities available to our competitors including the Most Potential Breeder Award, with the winner receiving a registered heifer donated by Sugarloaf Creek Herefords, Corryong, Vic.

ARE YOUR YOUNG CATTLE PREPARED FOR DAYCARE? Feedlots and saleyards are like daycare centres. When young cattle from different farms are mixed together, Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) becomes a serious issue. That’s why many feedlots want cattle prevaccinated with Bovilis® MH+IBR – the only vaccine that protects against the two key organisms that cause BRD.

Helen De Costa has chosen a career in stock and station agency.

Inset Below: Helen De Costa, left, with her team mates Lachlan Woodcock, Alicia Trovatello and Janet Cantwell at the World Hereford Conference Young Breeders Competition in New Zealand in 2020.

Helen De Costa was the winner of the prestigious CM Hocking Memorial Scholarship in 2014 and has spent the last few years carving her own career in the stock and station agency industry.

Helen grew up at Braidwood, NSW, on a working family sheep and cattle farm, and went on to study at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, NSW. Now based at Wagga, Helen points to the bursary as a powerful motivator to pursue her passion within the livestock industry.

Ms De Costa can still recall the moment when she received news her application was successful.

“It came as a total surprise because I didn’t think I would win,” she said.

“I was in my second year of my agricultural science degree and the money removed a huge financial burden as I could buy all my textbooks for the following years, and really focus on my study.”

Ms De Costa became involved with the Hereford breed when she was taken under the wing of Cloverlee Poll Herefords directors, Ken and Liz Ikin, when she was a child helping exhibit her family’s cattle on the show circuit.

Even though she was only 11 at the time, Ken had spotted Helen’s talent for handling stock and strong work ethic, offering her a position in his Sydney Royal Easter Show team.

“I have been with them ever since, and I have now started my own stud, Double H Livestock, and bought a few heifers.”

Helen joined the team at H Francis & Co after working as a veterinary nurse for several years.

During her daily role with the family-owned Wagga

Wagga agency, Ms De Costa focuses on the sale of livestock and clearance auctions, and is learning the ropes of property transactions.

Passionate about her work, she has ambitions to become a qualified auctioneer.

Helen has served on the national committee as vice president and treasurer of Herefords Australia Youth and was named as a 2014-2015 Youth Ambassador.

She was secretary and president of the Southern Hereford Youth Group, had competed in Hereford Youth shows since 2009 and received a Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Foundation 2015 Community Futures grant.

The grant, up to the value of $25,000, allowed her to partner with the Braidwood Showground Committee to replace the showground’s cattle yards.

Ms De Costa has shown cattle at Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra Royals, and was a member of the Herefords Australia Youth team to compete at the World Hereford Conference Young Breeders Competition in New Zealand.

ICMJ partnership a career pathway for graduates HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA has signed a five-year strategic partnership with the Australian Intercollegiate Meat Judging Association (ICMJ Association) to promote the breed and build capacity by engaging with young industry professionals.

The ICMJ Association was established in 1990, to address concerns many agriculture degrees were lacking studies about meat science, and students may be graduating without setting foot inside an abattoir or have a sound understanding of red meat quality.

The new partnership is a key deliverable in the Herefords Australia 2022-2027 Strategic Plan and will see Herefords Australia sponsor both ICMJ Association’s Northern and National Conferences until 2026.

Herefords Australia Breed and Business Development Manager Kathleen Allan attended the Northern Conference Careers and Trade Expo in Rockhampton as a first action since the partnership agreement was signed.

“This partnership is a fabulous opportunity to promote the Hereford breed, not only for its excellent carcase quality, but also as a career pathway for graduates,” Ms Allan said.

“At the same time, we’ll be encouraging and nurturing the talent of those who will lead our industry in years to come.”

A key focus in Rockhampton was promoting applications for the annual CM Hocking Scholarship, which provides a $5000 grant for Australian citizens undertaking studies that will benefit Australia’s Hereford industry.

More than 100 agriculture students and young beef industry professionals attended the careers and trade expo.

“Over the four days I was able to meet with so many young eager people and was genuinely impressed by the conversations had and level of enthusiasm for the beef industry,” Ms Allan said.

“I was able to share information about Herefords and our strategic commitment to building capacity within the breed and the sector more

As an ICMJ alumni from 1996, Kathleen said the program had evolved and was a credit to the ICMJ network.

“Back when I did ICMJ, there was a lot of time in the chiller room but that’s now changed, and we’re seeing a lot more opportunities to build strong networks across the sector.

“It was a great opportunity to highlight the Hereford breed and create interest for those who are still forming their career paths.”

Aspiring geneticist clinches CM Hocking Scholarship like an incredible person who was just as passionate about the Hereford breed as I am – she clearly wanted to do all she could to support the breed,” Emily said.

She impressed the panel of judges with her robust industry knowledge and drive, traits which have also helped inspire her own stud, Eclipse Poll Herefords, which she established shortly after attending the Hereford Youth Camp at Wodonga in 2018.

“Working with my own stud, as well as my family’s small commercial breeding herd, I have learnt firsthand the benefits of Hereford genetics for cross breeding to create high-performing cattle for finishing on grain or grass.

“Through my degree at the University of New England, where I will study either agriculture or rural science, I hope to eventually work in the beef industry in the fields of breeding and animal genetics.”

Herefords Australia, Chief Executive Officer, Lisa Sharp congratulated Emily on her achievement and described the promising teen as embodying all that the CM Hocking Scholarship represented.

“Emily is joining a proud alumni of CM Hocking Memorial Scholarship winners who are all paying tribute to Mrs Hocking’s legacy through their diverse agriculture careers,” Ms Sharp said.

She said bursaries like the CM Hocking Memorial Scholarship supported bright minds pursuing careers in agriculture.

“The Australian beef sector is broad, and highly progressive, and in need Emily Taylor is flanked by her parents Kim and Jason Taylor, Quirindi, NSW. Image Kim Woods of smart, enthusiastic and hardworking young people, like Emily, to become our future leaders.”

AN 18-year-old stud founder and aspiring cattle geneticist has clinched the Herefords Australia CM Hocking Scholarship in what is the 20th year of the bursary supporting the next generation of agriculture leaders.

Emily Taylor rose to the top of a competitive field of applicants who vied for the coveted scholarship, which was bequeathed by Hereford pioneer, CM ‘Madge’ Hocking, in 2002.

The Year 12 Calrossy Anglican School student, who lives on her family’s commercial cattle operation at Quirindi, on the Liverpool Plains, will use the $5000 bursary to assist with her study costs when she starts at the University of New England next year.

“It is an honour to have won. Through applying for the award I learnt a little about Madge Hocking, she seemed

YOUTH NEWS

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

Promising stud career ahead for Lucy after award win Receiving a quality young registered heifer has given Lucy Crowley a glimpse into a stud career as she carried off the Most Potential Breeder Award.

The award was presented in January at the Herefords Northern NSW Youth Show with the eight-month-old heifer, Mountain Valley Prudence S046, donated by Ian and Shelley Durkin, Mountain Valley stud, Coolatai, NSW. Based at Armidale, Miss Crowley aims to promote the breed through showing her cattle and focus on the desirable traits of fertility, doing ability and longevity in her breeding program.

She will run her herd under her family’s The Cottage Poll Herefords at Barraba, NSW. Miss Crowley hopes to compete a degree in agriculture or rural science with the goal of living on-farm and running the family’s Hereford stud.

Coming up through the ranks at youth camps, she is interested in giving

back to the community by mentoring young people interested in cattle breeding.

“Having this incredible opportunity of owning my own heifer allows me to begin my own bloodline of Hereford cattle,” she said.

“I love any opportunity to have a go and to try new things, and I’m keen to get stuck in and learn about all the things required to run a stud.

“It’s really inspiring to see young females making their way through the beef industry and gaining such important roles, and I love how this opportunity is allowing me to become more involved with Herefords and gaining that responsibility of operating my own stud.”

Miss Crowley plans to invest in more livestock at stud sales throughout the year along with breeding good muscle, carcase, natural balance and style in her calves.

“As I’m nearing the end of my schooling, I’m starting to think about what I would like to do as a future career.

“It’s a really tough question to answer at the moment but I know I absolutely want to go into the agricultural industry, and I have a big passion for cattle, especially Herefords, which I hope to continue to pursue in the future.”

By Kim Woods How do you keep two keen pee wees focused on their cattle judging skills during COVID? Just ask southern NSW Hereford breeder Amanda Watkins, mum to Emma, 9, and Toby, 7, and who had the kids baking, colouring in, videoing, photographing and judging online in 30 shows from Queensland to South Australia.

The initial motivation for the family was an online heifer show in 2020, spurring them on to enter online competitions during their COVID enforced home schooling.

The family run the Sundene Poll Hereford stud and commercial herd in conjunction with a sheep and cropping enterprise.

Amanda is a Herefords Australia Youth alumni, serving as president for two years, and has encouraged her children to become involved with all aspects of cattle handling and breeding since they were toddlers.

A Year 4 student at St Josephs at Finley, Emma joined Herefords Australia Youth at six years of age, attending her first Herefords Australia heifer show at Parkes in 2019, winning reserve champion pee wee herdsman, third in the heifer class and third in the parader’s class leading a heifer, Kianma Dewdrop P006, borrowed from Kierin and Nikki Martin.

“Emma has a real knack with animals so I made a rash statement that we will go to every heifer show in Wodonga, no matter what breed but COVID got in the road,” Amanda said.

“Emma bonded quickly with the heifer Dewdrop – she was the most beautiful natured heifer for a little six-year-old to swing off. Emma had no front teeth but had the biggest grin on her face.

“She made a friend from Baldry, NSW, and they have been pen pals ever since, writing monthly religiously.”

Emma helps out her little brother who is keen to kick start his showing career and has already won Champion Drover in an online competition.

Although COVID stalled the physical shows, Amanda encouraged the children to enter 30 online shows in 2020.

“We sent photos of cupcakes to Cloncurry, Qld, and colouring-in to Gawler, SA – it got a bit out of control, there was so many. The kids asked if they could go to all the places they did the online shows for, and I said I don’t remember half of them but sure we’ll give it a crack,” she said.

“It was covering geography, art and agriculture. In lockdown we had to pull a few calves and Emma was involved in that so she had biology sorted.

“We were preparing two heifers for the Wodonga expo and ended up photographing one and competing in an online show, plus two steers in the Melbourne Royal online competition at the Yea saleyards.

“We donate a Hereford steer to the Finley High School each year and it was fifth on the hoof and third on the hook.”

Emma placed third in an online sheep meat junior judging at the EKKA from 33 entrants, and in the QPL Rural Youth Online Expo, Emma placed second in the 12 and under young judges and third in the handlers.

Amanda encouraged all parents to join their children up with Herefords Australia Youth to make new friends, learn skills and responsibility, build self-confidence and empower them for their future.

“It’s a brilliant program – you have to really put yourself out there and make friends with other like-minded people.”

Clean sweep for Mawarra Genetics as Ultra Star takes grand champion

By Kim Woods It was a family affair as bulls from Mawarra Genetics swept through the classes at the 2022 Herefords Australia National Show to take intermediate, reserve senior and grand champion.

Mawarra stud principals Peter and Deanne Sykes, Longford, Victoria, were also emotional seeing a bull exhibited by their son Brandon and daughter-in-law Brittany Sykes win junior champion.

Mawarra Ultra Star R182, a son of US sire Endure 173D, was sashed as intermediate and grand champion by judge Steve Reid, Millmerran, Queensland, in front of an appreciative audience.

The 24-month-old weighed 1004kg and had a raw eye muscle scan of 140sqcm, 14mm at the P8, 9mm at the rib and a scrotal circumference of 40cm.

On BREEDPLAN, Ultra Star had a 600-day weight of +123kg, eye muscle area of +8.6sqcm and an intramuscular fat percentage of +2.3.

Mawarra also exhibited the reserve senior champion, Mawarra Jupiter R044, a son of Yarram Unique F181, and recipient of a new shield in memory of late Hereford breeder, Clinton Baulch.

The shield was presented by Herefords Australia deputy chairman Marc Greening, with Clinton’s wife Jacquie and children Thomas and Indi, present.

The Herefords Australia National Show was held at the Wodonga Stud Stock Exhibition Centre on May 11, drawing 106 junior, intermediate and senior bulls from 34 vendors from four states.

Judge Steve Reid described Ultra Star as being extreme in muscle with moderate birthweight, positive calving ease and marbling.

Vendor Peter Sykes said the bull was the type the family had been aiming to breed and one the industry was looking for.

The highly competitive junior classes produced Mawarra B Show Stopper S001 as champion.

The 23-month-old bull weighed 896kg, had a raw eye muscle area of 133sqcm, and scanned 18mm on the rump and 12mm on the rib.

Stud stock agent Peter Godbolt, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Albury, said commercial producers paid $25,000 to $30,000 for bulls while studs operated at the top end.

“With a new record top price for Wodonga – it was good to see the breeders getting rewarded for what they do, and the Hereford breed getting recognised within the industry,” Mr Godbolt said.

Marc Greening, Injemira Beef Genetics, flanked by Angela and Andrew Lyons, Wilkah Herefords, Vasey, was the dominant buyer at the Casterton weaner sale.

GREENING SNAPS UP 45 PER CENT OF YARDING FOR GRASS-FED PROGRAMS

By Jenny Kelly A prominent Hereford breeder led the charge for whiteface calves at Casterton in January, purchasing nearly half the yarding.

Marc Greening, Injemira Beef Genetics, Book Book, NSW, purchased 540 steers from the sale, helping keep a solid price floor in the market.

The feature yarding of 1176 Hereford and Simmentalcross weaners recorded an average of $2094 per head, working out to 644c/kg liveweight.

The sale average was kept over $2000 by some strong outcomes for lighter weight calves, including a top of 788c/kg for Hereford calves weighing under 280kg.

It was the rarity of one buyer dominating a New Year calf sale that was the talking point.

Injemira’s haul of 540 head equated to 45 per cent of the yarding.

A stud breeder with clients throughout the Western District and into South Australia, Mr Greening has been a regular supporter of the New Year sales, focusing on Injemira genetics.

He said the steers would be grass finished for the Coles Graze program, and while it was a big outlay he had confidence in the steers to perform and hit targets, and the NSW properties they were going onto also had a good wedge of summer feed.

The aim is to have the lead run of steers from the Western District sales hitting carcass weights of 280300kg dressed by late winter, which is traditionally when

the grass-fed market pays a premium.

However, at a cost of $2000 plus, he acknowledged that trading margins could run tight this year and they were buying other classes of cattle to spread risk.

“We have seriously looked at other options, such as cows and calves or pregnant females, as a risk management tool,’’ he said.

It was extra heavy Simmental Hereford-cross steers weighing 448kg which topped the Casterton yarding at $2490, the honour going to property Glenaulin.

There were several feature lines of Hereford weaners which on a cents per kilogram basis recorded some of the best results of the market: These included: •

•

• •

The Lambert family, Taronga Poll Herefords, Paschendale, sold 160 Poll Hereford steers, aged nine and 10 months to a top of $2241 or 628c for 357kg; J & J Hortle, Woranga Park, Dunrobin, sold 130 Hereford steer calves, the highlights being a pen of 23 steers at 322kg for 676c/kg or $2176 per head; and 32 steers, 278kg, for 730c/kg or $2029.

Jason Koch, Rosebank, Casterton, sold the opening pen of 20 Hereford steers, 369kg, for 630c/kg or $2324; and

Cam and Carol Emerson, Alva Downs, Tahara, sold 112 Hereford steers, the top pen weighing nearly 400kg and making 600c to return $2382 per head.

They also sold one of the bigger pen lots of the sale with 41 calves at 355kg making 640c or $2272.

AUTUMN WEANER SALES

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

Joinable heifers met with red hot demand at Hamilton Hereford heifers ready to join topped at 750c/kg at the Hamilton heifer weaner sales in Victoria’s Western Districts in January.

Elders livestock zone manager Peter Homann said the growing popularity and maturity of grass-fed beef programs meant the old rules around steers versus heifers, and black versus red, no longer applied.

He said grid pricing was the closest it had ever been between steers and heifers.

Owen McClure, Beerik, Coleraine, averaged $2291 for steers and $2100 for heifers after previously selling heifers to the live export market or privately on-farm.

Mr McClure said the average for steers had risen by $500 per head on a year ago but heifers had jumped by $700.

The Beerik heifers sold to Marc Greening, Injemira Genetics, Book Book, to be joined and reoffered as a feature line of PTIC females.

The top pen of 46 calves weighed 311kg and sold for 750c/kg or $2332.50.

After topping the steer sale, Leon Wheeler, Wallacedale, also received the top money of $2248 for heavier Hereford heifers weighing 348kg and returning 646c/kg to Yarram Park, Willaura.

Mountain calf sale opener sizzles with a new record top of $3060

By Kim Woods Vendors were all smiles as the opening salvo hit unchartered waters for whiteface yearling steers of $3060 and weaners of $2500 at the Benambra Calf Sale.

Victorian and NSW steer finishers and lot feeders converged on the Victorian high country on March 8 to bid for whiteface cattle at the 82nd annual circuit opener.

Selling agents Sharp Fullgrabe and Nutrien Ag yarded 1260 yearling and weaner Hereford, Hereford cross, Angus and Euro steers and heifers for the fixture at the Hinnomunjie yards.

Buyers attended from Warragul, Leongatha, Packenham, Korrumburra, Wangaratta, Albury-Wodonga, Holbrook, Mossvale, Tamworth and local districts.

For steer finishers who recently made a tidy profit on steers they picked up at last year’s sale, the squeeze was on as prices soared another $600 to historic highs for the vendor bred offering.

Heavy yearling steers, spring drop 2020, sold for $2760$3060 – a rise of $670 on last year.

The overall run of autumn drop Hereford steers topped at $2500 and sold down to $1530.

Black baldy steers returned $1910-$2310.

In the heifer pens, spring drop 2020 Hereford/Shorthorn females sold for $2530, and autumn drop Hereford heifers for $1490-$2210 – up $540 on last year.

Sharp Fullgrabe principal Graeme Fullgrabe, Bairnsdale, said the sale was well supported by buyers from Queensland, NSW and Victoria.

Nutrien Ag Solutions Packenham auctioneer Anthony Delaney judged the Herefords Australia champion pen, awarding it to Gus and Sandra Crisp, Omeo, for their 10-11-month-old steers, Mawarra and Newcomen blood.

The champion pen made $2500 to Gippsland steer finished Alan Mitchell, the top price in the run of autumn drop steers and a new record for the Hinnomunjie saleyard.

Mr Mitchell was buying steers 350kg liveweight plus for grass programs with a carcase spec of 420kg.

Bairnsdale livestock carrier Donald Betts opened the sale with his pen of spring 2020 drop Hereford/Shorthorn steers penned with a green weight of 632kg to be snapped up by Elders Korrumburra for $3060 (484c/kg), and the seconds at $2760. The steers were Karoonda Park, Yarram Park and Nunniong blood.

In the females, Donald Betts topped the sale with spring drop Shorthorn/Hereford heifers, Yarram Park and Karoonda blood, at $2530, while Gus and Sandra Crisp sold the top pen of autumn drop Hereford heifers at $2210 to Dan Ivone, Paull and Scollard Nutrien, Albury-Wodonga.

In the run of black baldy steers, JCM Farms topped the sale at $2310, and as a comparison Angus steers topped at $2400.

Aiden Keyte and Eddie Mauger, Bindi, sold August 2021 drop black baldy steers and like the hybrid vigour and doability of the two-way cross but are aiming to eventually breed a pure Hereford.

Normally a lead vendor, Jim Pendergast, Penderscourt, Hinnomunjie, was in the buyer’s seat paying $2350 and $2450 for two pens of Hereford steers after selling Hereford/ Shorthorn cows and calves at Bairnsdale for over $4500 in recent months.

The middle run of steers was dominated by Marc Greening, Injemira Genetics, Book Book, NSW, sourcing cattle for grass fed programs to a top of $2180, while Albury commission buyer Graeme Ward was active in the heifer purchasing for feedlots.

Vendor Robert Moon, Gelantipy, described the sale as “hard to believe” after selling 45 April/May drop, Karoonda Park blood steers to $2100.

Mr Moon said the big kick in averages would mean the ability to direct drill more pasture and invest in fertiliser and pasture.

Scott and Gus Crisp took out the Herefords Australia champion pen with their autumn drop steers which sold for $2500.

Graeme and Sheila offered 80 April/May drop steers and 26 heifers, Reyloc, Wilkah, Karoonda Park and Nunniong blood.

Pat Cleary, ECM Livestock, Moss Vale, awarded the Herefords Australia champion pen to Kelvin and Jackie Pendergast, Benambra, for their pen of 25 March/April drop, European Union accredited steers.

The pen was snapped up by Gippsland steer finisher Alan Mitchell for $2500.

The Faithfulls use Mawarra, Sugarloaf and Karoonda Park genetics and were not retaining any heifers.

Elders Victorian livestock manager Matt Tinkler said both vendors and purchasers were happy with the solid market.

“If you are in the market to buy Hereford cattle this is the spot to come. We have seen a premium for quality today as you are getting 100 years of Hereford genetics here and that sets these cattle apart,” Mr Tinkler said.

“This area is renowned for its Hereford cattle.”

First generation Hereford breeder Russell Cornall, Benambra, described the sale as an excellent result, with his Karoonda Park, Sugarloaf Creek, Mawarra and Warragundi steers hitting $2350 and heifers $2300.

He offered a total of 123 steers, 31 spring drop heifers and 30 autumn drop heifers.

The young family runs 615 breeders and are building their herd to 700 - they love the breed’s doing ability and temperament.

“I’m a great believer in matching the cattle to the country and Herefords certainly do under tough conditions,” Mr Cornall said.

Vendors Clive and Di Anderson, Benambra, offered a draft of autumn drop Hereford, Angus and black baldy steers at the Benambra and Omeo sales. Their Hereford steers topped at $2400, Angus steers at $2350 and black baldies at $2430.

Heifer prices shoot into unchartered waters on back of demand

By Kim Woods The spotlight well and truly shone on the females at the Omeo Weaner Sale where retockers paid a stellar $2900 for autumn drop Shorthorn/Hereford heifers, leaving the buying gallery and onlookers stunned.

Restockers and lot feeders made a plunge on the heifers, pushing prices skywards by $500 on the morning’s Ensay sale and skyrocketing to a new record for the Omeo saleyard.

Shorthorn/Hereford heifers finished at $2110-$2900, up $290 on the Ensay sale, while purebred heifers settled at $1550-$2850, up a whopping $500 on the Ensay sale.

Elders Bairnsdale auctioneer Morgan Davies put the buyer frenzy down to Omeo heifers having a well earnt reputation among restockers.

Buyers were met with some of the best line-ups of whiteface weaner calves in the nation for the final leg of the 82nd annual Mountain Calf Sales at Omeo, with steers hitting $2760 and heifers $2900.

Selling agents Elders Bairnsdale and Omeo yarded 1500 Hereford and Shorthorn-Hereford cross yearling and mixed sex weaners for the March 9 fixture.

The large crowd was left reeling in the rain when a bidding duel erupted on the opening pen of heifers, autumn drop Shorthorn/Herefords from the Ah Sam family, Omeo.

Estimated to weigh 350kg, the heifers were knocked down for a new Omeo record of $2900, while the seconds made $2700 to Elders Echuca.

Topping the purebred heifers was Peter Faithfull, Omeo, with a pen of EU accredited females at $2850.

Shorthorn/Hereford steer prices moved upwards by $200 on the Ensay sale to finish at $2100-$2760 while the purebred steers made $1800-$2700 and the EU pens $2200-$2700.

The sale had opened strongly on the steers with a pen of European Union accredited Hereford steers from Peter Faithfull were snapped up by Elders Yea for $2680.

Then it was onto the autumn drop Shorthorn/Herefords with the Ah Sam family ringing the bell with a pen of 20 EU

accredited steers making the sale top and a new record of $2760.

The run of lead steers did not drop below $2310 for the first two rows, such was the weight and quality.

Pat Cleary, ECM Livetsock, awarded the champion pen to Simon and Sonya Lawlor, Omeo, for their 32, EU accredited steers which sold for $2520.

A large crowd of backgrounders, steer finishers, lot feeders and restockers attended from Bairnsdale, Leongatha, Warragul, Pakenham, Moe, Kilmore, Yea, Myrtleford, Echuca, King Island, Wagga Wagga, Cootamundra, and South Australia.

Elders Bairnsdale auctioneer Morgan Davies said the cattle weighed an average 20kg heavier in the Omeo leg.

Mr Davies said strong support came from local districts, Gippsland, northeast Victoria and the Upper Murray for the heavier Hereford calves.

Among those buying cattle for grass fed programs was Marc Greening, Injemira Beef Genetics, Book Book, NSW. He sourced steers with liveweights of 280-300kg, either paying premium prices or underbidder on the top drafts, to finish on grass for a 300kg carcase weight.

Buyer Dan Ivone, Paull and Scollard Nutrien and Nutrien Ivone Agency, Myrtleford, was active at all sales at the circuit sourcing autumn drop steers and heifers.

Mr Ivone targeted the lighter weight weaners at 240-280kg for backgrounding before lot feeding.

Vendor Simon Lawlor was speechless when it came to describing the sale result.

“It’s a massive rise in the average with the smallest heifers making as much as the steers made last year – that’s incredible money for cattle,” Mr Lawlor said.

“Today has far exceeded our expectations and it’s really nice to see the Hereford breed truly is doing well in the saleyards.

“These beautiful big Herefords have performed and sold really well. It is validation for sticking with the breed and we will stick with them forever.”

PIONEER TRIBUTE

Cattle, family and community were Jimmy’s great loves The spirit of a great cattleman, steward of the land, son, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend will live on forever at Undoolya Station.

James Alexander Hayes, known to many as Jimmy or Jimpy, passed away on June 3.

He was born in Alice Springs on August 20, 1945, the third child of Edward (Ted) and Jean Hayes and the fourth generation of Centralian pastoralists.

After finishing his schooling, he went to work for his parents on Undoolya Station, building dams, turkey nests, fenced, built yards, ran the bores, pulled and fixed windmills amongst mustering and cattle work.

He married his sweetheart Gail Ride in 1965 and they had four children Richie, Andy, Jayne and Ben, who like Jimmy loved the land.

Jimmy continued to breed his much-loved Poll Herefords the family had originally brought over from New Zealand in the 1940s. He continued purchasing high quality bulls from NSW, SA and VIC. Together with his three sons they purchased The Garden station on the northeastern boundary of Undoolya in 1995. This inspired the “Three sons” song written by John Williamson.

In 2002 the Rocky Hill Grape Farm went into development on the agricultural lease situated in the middle of Undoolya, growing 160 acres of table grapes as well other fruits and vegetables.

Jimpy never shied away from community responsibilities. He was a founding member of the Bush Fires Council, NTCA Alice Springs Branch Chair, Patron of the Central Australian Show Society and Chairman of the Centralian Beef Consortium.

Jimpy was not just generous with his time, but also opened the properties and hosted many local and interstate events.

His inspiration and encouragement have seen the next two generations involved in community organisations also.

Being surrounded by his family was the highlight of his life.

Jimmy passed away peacefully with his beloved wife Gail and daughter Jayne by his side in Alice Springs.

He is survived by Gail, children Ritchie, Andy, Jayne and Benny. Father-in-law to Jody, Lee-Ann, Jane, Danny and Nicole; grandfather to Amy, Steffi, Katy, Pj, Steve, Joe, Thea, Nikita, Mikala, Wendy, Shannan, Tahnee and Jamie; great-Grandfather to Aaron, Rilee, Lilly, Hayley, Alice, Isabel, Indie, Jackson, Wylie and Evelyn.

Jimmy Hayes, a fourth-generation NT pastoralist, was a passionate Poll Hereford breeder.

Herefords the backbone of Channel Country organic beef brand

By Hannah Hardy AS organic beef industry pioneer David Brook’s Cessna aircraft soars over a sprawling network of remote cattle properties in the heart of Australia, his bird’s eye view captures thriving Hereford cattle grazing across the Channel Country’s vastly untouched landscape.

For decades, the Hereford breed has been synonymous with the iconic region and for OBE Organic Exports, which Mr Brook is Chairman of and sells premium beef throughout Australia, North America, the Middle East and Asia.

The Channel Country’s rangelands, while rich in a variety of native pastures and legumes, has sporadic rainfall and temperatures can plunge below zero degrees in the cooler months, before rising to up to 50 degrees in the summer, so graziers require an adaptable and fast-finishing animal.

“I can remember my dad saying Herefords were ideal as they had all the traits we required for this region, they were good walkers, breeders and mothers,” Mr Brook said.

“He said, ‘when you get even light storms, the Herefords fatten the quickest. You can grow a Hereford from store to finished condition within eight weeks’.”

His father’s wisdom has been a mainstay for OBE suppliers since the business inception in 1995, with the Hereford breed consistently showing its ability to perform through a variety of seasons – from the exceptional conditions being experienced in 2022 to some of the worst droughts in history.

This versatility extends to outstanding eating quality. OBE markets its beef’s flavour as being “seasoned by nature”, given the certified organic operation is completely void of synthetic chemicals, with the great-tasting cuts today served in restaurants and homes across the world.

BUILDING A VISION

In the early 1990s, Mr Brook developed a laser-focused interest in product marketing and became particularly intrigued by the Australian viticulture industry’s promotion of wines for domestic and international trade.

“The ideas of the wine industry very much became my mentor,” Mr Brook said.

“I noticed vineyards marketed their wines on provenance, be that the Margaret River or Barossa Valley, and I felt our region here, the Channel Country, the outback, the Lake Eyre Basin, had its own identity and would attract a market for our grass-fed beef,” he said.

Having lived in the Channel Country all his life, working in his family’s Brook Pastoral Company encompassing several land holdings stretching across more than three million hectares, he knew the unique and vastly unspoiled land had something to offer the world stage.

With this vision in mind, Mr Brook united a group of likeminded pastoralists from across Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia who came on board to market the uniqueness of their product by showcasing the remarkability of the region.

After securing the necessary supply chains in Australia, and travelling to Asia to investigate emerging markets, the first shipment of Hereford OBE beef landed in Japan in February 1998.

SHARED GOALS

Grant and Gina Rieck, from “Bollards Lagoon”, a 404,685-hectare property in the Strzelecki Desert at Cameron Corner, were among the first producers to join the group in 2003 – just three years after taking over the reins of the property.

Herefords had been foundational at Bollard Lagoon since 1971, when Mr Rieck’s parents, who settled the block in 1959, switched to focus solely on white-faced cattle.

“Herefords climatise extremely well and adapt to the conditions, and show resilience during the dry times,” Mr Rieck said.

Their herd’s adaptability and strength was well-tested in recent years when the property endured its worst drought on record from 2016 to 2020.

As a mitigation strategy, the family bought “Bennett”, an immensely different 1198ha property near Coonalpyn in South Australia to sustain their breeding herd, which swiftly adapted to the cooler and wetter climate.

Although 1100km away from Bollards Lagoon, the higherrainfall block delivered and now favourable seasons have returned, herd numbers are being replenished to the usual 4000 head for the business.

Although having worked in the industry for many years, Mrs Rieck still marveled at how quickly their semi-desert country transformed after drought.

A key supplier to the OBE Organic business, Mr and Mrs Rieck finish their Herefords to a 270kg to 280kg carcase weight before processing.

WINTER 2022

JOURNEY GROWS

The OBE Organic business prides itself on being family run, so it’s fitting Sharon Betts, who is Mr Rieck’s sister and lives just across the border to Bollards Lagoon, is also a key member of the operation.

Alongside her husband, Graham, Mrs Betts owns Epsilon Station in the south-west corner of Queensland, Mungerannie Station and Mulka Station near Lake Eyre on the Birdsville Track, and Merty Merty off the Strzelecki Track.

Herefords have been the cornerstone of the Betts family business since 1978, when a run of 800 Hereford heifers were purchased from the Roma Saleyards to start afresh after the Brucellosis and Tuberculosis outbreak.

Since then, the family has partnered with a range of studs across South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, to improve and develop their herd’s genetics.

Although the majority of Betts cattle are destined for OBE Organic’s network, in the last two years their lines have reached alternative markets.

Hereford’s ability to perform on grass and grain, has seen their Channel Country weaners fetch strong prices at southern saleyards, as well as being sold directly into feedlots.

“With Herefords, we have found they are so adaptable wherever they go,” Mrs Betts said.

“They are extremely fertile, even during the drought we were still achieving good calving rates.”

NORTHERN FOCUS

PICTURED ABOVE LEFT TO RIGHT 1. ‘Bollards Lagoon’, a 404,685-hectare property in the Strzelecki Desert at Cameron Corner, is owned by one of the first producers to support OBE Organic Exports with Hereford cattle, Grant and Gina Rieck.

2. The Hereford breed has been the backbone of thriving branded beef business, OBE Organic Exports, since the venture was founded in 1995.

3. Grant and Gina Rieck describe mustering across their vast ‘Bollards Lagoon’ as a streamlined process given the remarkable temperament of Herefords.

4. OBE Organic Founder, David Brook, said Herefords were ideal for the Channel Country’s vastly untouched landscape given the cattle are good walkers, mothers and can fatten quickly.

5. The doability of Herefords is a perfect fit for the pastoral zone.

BRIGHT FUTURE

Having now travelled the world to market beef at premier events, including G’Day USA in Los Angeles and food festivals in the Middle East, Mr Brook said the OBE Organic had surpassed his original imaginings of what it could be.

He believes OBE’s great taste has underwritten its longterm contracts, some surpassing 20 years of business, with restaurants across the world.

“I recently attended a taste testing in Japan, where the chef remarked on the tenderness of our beef and said the flavour was noticeably better than other cuts,” Mr Brook said.

“When starting the business, I knew it was essential we could secure a reliable supply of high-quality meat, and that’s what Herefords have provided us.”

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

HEREFORDS AUSTRALIA

The big picture: Herefords role in a thriving global marketplace A golden opportunity is in store for Herefords to capture emerging markets and capitalize on the breed’s grass and grain performance.

Herefords Australia Chief Executive Officer Lisa Sharp said the industry’s dedication to building a reputation for quality was paying dividends.

“An accumulation of factors – including establishment of a robust traceability system, ensuring supply chain reliability, implementing a quality grading classification and producers’ focus on creating a premium product – has positioned the industry to capture a share of these important international markets,” Ms Sharp said.

“The world is demanding a safe and consistent red meat supply, which Australia has a reputation for providing.”

The record high prices of the past two years may well have been driven by domestic herd rebuilding, however strong international forces, and recognition of Australia’s commitment to the production of safe and premium beef, are poised to underlie the longer-term strength of the market.

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) insights have highlighted beef consumption in the US, one of Australia’s primary export markets since the 1960s, as a key contributor with consumption by the nation’s 334.8 million people rising since 2015 to now be 38.75kg of beef per capita each year.

Bourgeoning export destinations have also delivered a surge in demand in response to a growing middle-class population. For example, in Mexico, which imports 93 tonnes of Australian beef each year, the number of households achieving an income higher than US $75,000 is expected to grow 32.2 per cent from 2021 to 2025.

Ms Sharp noted the MLA data highlighted increased demand for grassfed beef, particularly in the US where, during the COVID-19 pandemic, sales rose in value by 45 per cent.

“For Hereford breeders, this creates a golden opportunity as our breed is known to be high performing on both grass and grain,” Ms Sharp said.

“Consumers have never been more focused on how their food has been produced, with concerns surrounding animal welfare and sustainability becoming more prevalent and impacting household buyers’ shopping decisions, providing an opportunity for the Hereford breed to share our unique story.”

On home soil, the beef industry continues to prove its remarkable resilience, bouncing back in unprecedented fashion after years of drought, with MLA’s Industry Projections 2022 declaring the national herd rebuilding endeavour a dual-paced effort.

In southern markets, which have enjoyed three years of strong seasons, the NSW and Victorian herds have grown 4.2 per cent year-on-year, contributing 1.1 million head to the projected 2022 national herd forecast of 27.2 million.

In the northern pastoral industry, however, the rebuild is in its infancy, but finding momentum, following rainfall across most key production areas.

Combined, the national herd is expected to grow 7 per cent by the end of 2024, to reach 28.2 million head.

During the herd replenishment phase, Ms Sharp said the industry would turn to genetics with proven breeding capabilities.

“High fertility, ease of calving, and low birthing weights are key attributes cattle producers are requiring,” she said.

“Herefords also have excellent adaptability, with a reputation for genetics that are well suited to both northern and southern markets.”

The increased national herd will also bolster processor throughput to meet high export demand, with slaughter numbers expected to rise 11pc nationally in 2022 to reach a total of 6.7 million head.

Forecasts also predict, by 2024, slaughter volumes will be 31 per cent higher than 2021 levels and climb to 7.85 million head.

Favourable seasons have also set carcase weights on course to increase to an average of 311kg/head this year, to represent a 9 per cent jump from 2019’s 283kg/head figure, recorded during the peak of the drought.

“Australia’s unique farming conditions have illustrated the importance of hardy cattle which provide explosive growth rates,” Ms Sharp said.

“When rainfall occurs, producers are looking to finish their animals quickly, which again, provides an excellent opportunity for the Hereford breed.”

Ms Sharp said it was a remarkable time for Australian agriculture.

“Hereford breeders, despite the challenges of difficult past seasons, have been dedicated to improving their businesses and core genetics.

“As we look ahead and aim to capitalise on the mega trends driving the market, it will become vital we have adequate research and data backing up our existing knowledge in Hereford cattle’s ability to perform.

“That’s why Herefords Australia is investing in research and development programs and partnering with industry leaders to ensure the necessary science is on hand.”

Vale Clinton Baulch

Clinton Baulch, right, with Jaclinton Magazine M20, reserve senior champion at the 2018 Herefords Australia National Show at Wodonga.

Stud and commercial Hereford breeder and leading car dealer Clinton Baulch passed away on March 28, 2022 at the age of 48.

He and his wife Jacquie had quietly launched their Jaclinton Beef brand in 2018 but the COVID pandemic had given them impetus to the home delivery side.

Clinton had juggled the deliveries of box beef around Victoria while running a stud and commercial Hereford herd, and Clinton Baulch Motor Group in Warrnambool, Victoria.

An aim of Clinton’s with the beef brand was to create awareness among consumers of Herefords as the grassfed kings of beef to increase market share.

Clinton had involved son Tom in the genetic selections within the stud herd and the stud will continued to be operated by Jacquie, Thomas and Indianna.

Vale Murray Garnock Passionate Hereford breeder Murray Garnock, of South Bukalong stud, Bombala, NSW, passed away on March 20, 2022.

Murray studied agricultural science at Sydney University from 1965 to 1968, majoring in animal husbandry and was also awarded the John Neal Prize for Practical Agriculture.

He was at the forefront of performance recording for cattle and sheep, starting in the early 1950s on South Bukalong and taking this forward with a passion. He became a well known advocate in the Hereford and Poll Hereford industry for the further development and use of performance recording which evolved into estimated breeding values EBVs. Murray served on the board of the Beef Improvement Association for five years, four years as treasurer, and in 1997 was awarded NSW Seedstock Producer of the Year.

He is survived by wife Carol Ogilvy Garnock, siblings Thea (deceased) and Claire, son Lindsay and daughter-in-law Julie, son Bryce and daughter-in-law Sarah, and grandchildren Callum, Connor, Lachlan, Phoebe, Toby, Charlie, William and Sophie.
