The Chairman’s Update‌
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Farm Weekly WA Angus Committee Heifer Competition. It has been a highly successful initiative and I'd like to thank Richard and Robyn Walker for supplying this year's heifers. Thank you also to those businesses who responded to my letter and offered their financial support. It is not too late to become involved, have your business exposed to some very good advertising and your support would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to the October issue of the WA Angus Newsletter. The Regional Roundup held in Bunbury in July was the most well attended of all the forums throughout Australia this year. Attendees were able to learn more about genomics and its implications for the future. In the evening a well attended testimonial dinner was held to honour Lew Smit's contribution to the beef industry. For me the highlight of the evening was seeing the interaction between old friends, and listening to the myriad of stories that were told throughout the night.
Our October Committee meeting was well attended and enjoyable. I continue to be amazed at committee members' enthusiasm and passion, even though some have been involved for a very long time. Their willingness to continually work together and contribute to strengthening the Angus breed in WA should The following morning a committee meeting was held which be acknowledged by all those involved in our industry. One was open to all Angus members - as are all committee meetings subtle change that you may notice in the future is the reference - and it was great to see another positive turn-out.

Following the meeting, a letter was written from the WA Angus State Committee to the WA Industry BJD Adviso- Tony Sudlow ry Group advocating the highest protection policy for our state. It was a very busy two days and I would like to thank all those who attended and in particular, the current Angus Australia President, Mrs Libby Creek, CEO Angus Australia, Dr Peter Parnell and Breed Development and Extension Manager, Andrew Byrne. As a breed, we are fortunate to have dedicated and passionate leaders at the helm. In September Will Roe and Leigh McCallum from Gingin, with the help of some sponsorship from WA Angus, attended the Tocal Cattle Assessment School in NSW. As a past recipient of this sponsorship many years ago, I can highly recommend this opportunity to extend your knowledge. WA Angus is also offering support to young people who would like to attend the Angus Youth Roundup in South Australia this January. Please contact a committee member if you know of someone who may be interested in attending either of these events next year. The WA Angus State Committee, over many years has sponsored youth to attend these courses and your voluntary levy allows this to occur.

Blackrock Angus stud is still delivering on that prediction, built on those very strong and stable foundations established by Don and continued by son Ken. Over the years, more than 40 bulls and over 30 females have been sold to studs in Australia, plus many more to many commercial herds, a tribute to those sound foundations.
~ VALE Don MacLeay ~ 10 July 1924 - 3rd June 2016 At a Memorial Service held in July for Don, eulogies were given highlighting different parts of Don’s life – family and friends, cricket and Angus, this last being given by Pam McGregor.
In 1981, Blackrock Hercules was selected, the first WA bred bull, as one of only three reference sires licensed for general semen sales in the Angus Society of Australia’s 1981 Sire Reference Scheme. Hercules fathered 163 recorded stock in 10 studs across Australia.
She included the following from WA Angus Chairman, Tony Sudlow: “The WA Angus Committee would like to extend our deepest condolences to all of the MacLeay family on the recent passing of Don.
His dam, Blackrock Sage, was one of Don’s top cows; another Don was one of our Angus community’s great stalwarts whose son won the inaugural 1978 WA Angus Bull Trial. Don served on the committee organising the bull trials in Kojonup for commitment and passion for the Angus breed was second to many of the early years, contributing his experience and wisnone. This was illustrated by his recent agreeance to come dom. back onto the WA Committee at the age of ninety one. The Blackrock Stud was awarded the Strathtay trophy in 1989, then Don MacLeay was awarded it in 1996 and again in 2013. Triple wins are a fairly rare occurrence, and reflects the high esteem in which Don and Blackrock was held by three different chairmen over 24 years.
We hope that you can celebrate Don’s life today and know that he has left this world and the Angus breed, in a much better place.” Main points from Pam’s contribution included: Don and Felicity established a commercial cattle fattening enterprise when they came to the Vasse property in 1965.
In more recent years, Don’s main contribution to the WA Angus Committee had been to organise general advertising of the Angus breed in our two farming papers, usually with the slogan “Angus Breed of Choice”.
Don had no background or experience in agriculture or cattle. When asked how he had got started, his answer was “I read a book on how to do it.”
He was a regular contributor to the WA Angus News with thoughtful and researched articles. Don did his own research into Angus brands available locally and he and Felicity taste tested several.
Finding it difficult to purchase replacement herd sires with a recorded commercial background, they started the Blackrock Angus Stud in 1968 by Don purchasing 20 calved heifers and one bull, Naranghi Esau from the Naranghi Angus Stud in Victoria.
Don MacLeay was a man of the highest integrity, of high standards in his chosen field of breeding quality Angus cattle – a passion which was still evident right to the end of his life.
Don planned to introduce and intensify a herd recording and performance testing system with professional advice and assistance; to use proven carcass quality stock and to concentrate initially on offering Angus bulls for sale suitable for upgrading commercial herds. All progeny were to be weight recorded and stock entered in carcass and fat cattle competitions.
He will be much missed but every time we miss him, Don is being remembered. A very special man.
~ VALE Ted Barham ~
The passing of Ted Barham of Barmore Angus in early September 2016 is noted with sadness. Ted had been in poor health This was at least 15 years before widespread objective measfor some time; he and Kath had moved off the farm to a care urement; then Breedplan started and became the widely used facility in Port Kennedy where Kath still lives. The Barmore tool it is today; Don was one of the key breeders Don Nicol Angus Stud sold bulls in Kojonup in the early 1990’s and then from the farm. Although engaged in other careers [Ted was a used in validating the results. To say that Don and Felicity highly respected orthodontist in Perth], both were passionate were ahead of the game is a fairly large understatement. about their Angus herd and very early adopters of Breedplan, having several trait leaders in the early days. Kath served on In September 1969, the Wesfarmers stud cattle officer Ken Cooper predicted “The Blackrock Angus Stud of Don and Felici- the WA Angus Committee for many years and initiated Black Mail in the 1980’s, the forerunner to WA Angus News. RIP ty MacLeay will, in time, provide WA cattle breeders with Ted. quality purebred stock, backed by performance tested results.” ** Thanks very much to Pam for these tributes to Don and Ted. I will always remember my lengthy phone calls to Don when I was putting together the newsletter, I learnt a lot from him in a very short time - Shezanne.
That was in 1969; in 2016, well over 40 years later, the 2
Ten Angus Heifers Competition for the 10th year!!
The WA Angus Committee would like to acknowledge and say THANKYOU to the following studs that have already committed to supporting the Farm Weekly/WA Angus Heifer Competition. Without your support we wouldn’t have been able to reach this 10 year milestone!!
Many competitions run by newspapers and a variety of groups are often relatively short-lived. The “Win Ten Angus Heifers” competition organised by the WA Angus Committee and the Farm Weekly enters its tenth year with ten heifers available to win early next year. The heifers are from the 2016 drop and unmated.
*Ardcairnie *Benalong Grazing *Black Rock *Carbon *Carenda *Cooara *Coonamble *Esslemont *Kapari *Kingslane

that appears to work at a much earlier stage. Professor John Hermon Taylor of London believes the MAP bug from Johnes disease gets into the human food chain from milk. Pasteurisation of milk is unable to always kill MAP so keeping the milk supply clean is all important. The professor claims the MAP bug triggers a process in the human gut that leads to the development of Crohn's.
Johne’s Disease - A WA Perspective By: Graham Nixon Western Australia is at a crossroads when it decides future policies for the control or otherwise of Johnes Disease which is caused by the spread of Mycobacterium Avium Paratuberculosis (MAP). Compared with other states W.A appears to be in a very favourable position but the recent decision of the other states to deregulate standards and controls means we must evaluate our own situation and set policies that serve our cattle herd and state to the optimal level.

2016 Beef Assessment Course
VICTORIAN STUD WINS LOTTO Low profile W.A Angus stud breeders Lindsay and Allison Wolrige were amazed at the interest taken in one of their young sires, Esslemont Lotto L3(AI) WWEL3 born January 2015. After inspecting the bull and his cow family in W.A, prominent Angus breeders Nick and Sarah Moyle of “Pathfinder Angus Stud”, in Victoria purchased the bull for an undisclosed amount from Esslemont Angus.
We thank the W.A Angus Society for the opportunity to participate in the 2016 Beef Assessment Course at the Tocal Agricultural College. Tocal is located in the lower Hunter Valley of NSW and about 180 Kilometres north of Sydney. The three day course allowed the participants to showcase and improve their knowledge in all aspects of Beef production ranging from Bull, Steer & Heifer selection and breeding them to suit target markets and their Accompanying Nick to WA for the inspection was a rep- specifications.
resentative from leading semen distributor Agri-Gene, who have the semen marketing rights for the bull. Lotto is sired by Aryvale General G18, whose sons have been topping sales in the current record breaking bull selling season in the Eastern States. Lotto is General G18’s leading ABI $Indexed son and it is noteworthy that General G18 is also owned by Pathfinder Angus who had the confidence to purchase this highly credentialed son for use in their herd. Pathfinder are renowned for its reputation as being a leading objective measurement cattle operation in Australia.
After leaving Gingin at 3am Monday morning, we arrived in Sydney to be welcomed with a 3 and a 1/2 hour train ride allowing us to take in the beauty of the Hawkesbury River and its surrounding countryside. Upon arriving in Tocal we jumped straight into the auditorium to discuss market specifications for the beef cattle industry. Day 2 we put what we had discussed the evening prior with a day in the yards judging slaughter and feeder animals for various market situations. The groups of cattle up for judging were to be ranked from 1-4 on their suitability to the market specifications supplied to us from the overjudges. A group discusPrior to the sale of Lotto to the Moyles, semen had been sion would then follow each group judged where we would be presold into New Zealand with possible interest in the asked to articulate our outcomes.
USA. After being pulled out of running with cows at Esslemont Angus, Lotto was shipped across the Nullabor to a Victorian collection centre for export semen, where he is enjoying the luxury of individual attention after his Spartan upbringing in Busselton – he is gaining almost 3kg per day and is due to commence work once again at Pathfinder Angus for late Spring joining. Lotto’s paddock work as a 15 month old bull was short lived having been taken out of the cows as the backup bull to Esslemont’s A I & E T program. His early withdrawal was precipitated by the urgency to supply semen orders and requirements for the cohort 7 Angus Sire Benchmarking Program. Esslemont Lotto L3(AI) was registered as “Lotto” by Lindsay when he realised how balanced Lotto’s EBV numbers were – thus the name “Lotto” as the figures all lined up. Of the growth and carcass traits Lotto is in the top 5% of the breed for EMA ,200,400,600 day growth, and the top 1% for IMF, whilst having below average birth weight with excellent maternal credentials, positive docility and an Angus Breeding Index in the top 1% (+$160) for the breed.
Day 3 was again spent in the yards discussing and judging both Female and Male selections with and without EBV information. The success and enjoyment of the course was made possible by our experienced instructors and Overjudges Bob Dent (Talented assessor of cattle and Life Member of Angus Australia), Steve Chase (Waitara Angus NSW) and James Laurie (Knowla Livestock NSW). Their ability to convey their knowledge and experiences in a way that allowed participants from all backgrounds and experience levels to improve their skillset is a testament to all those involved in making this coarse available. We would highly recommend anyone within the beef industry to participate in one of these forums.
