Big day getting our IVF program finished up.

We’ve implanted embryos into 17 recipient cows using two donors we’re really excited about.

Waringle Miss Hottie (our $20k purchase last year) has been joined to Glenlands D Dempsey — the $200k bull whose sons have averaged $80k at the Glenlands Bull Sale.

We’ve also used Waringle Naomi joined to Glenlands Quartermaster.

A fair bit of planning has gone into these matings and we’re looking forward to seeing what these genetics can do in our herd. Hopefully it helps build a strong foundation for the years ahead.

Now the wait begins.

Well… they’re here!

Our very first stud calf drop has officially hit the ground 🙌

We’re pretty chuffed with this little crew — strong, healthy and already acting like they own the paddock.

Exciting milestone on the farm today — carried out our very first AI program with three for our girls thanks to Caroline Allardyce!

After plenty of preparation, planning, and learning, it’s rewarding to finally put it all into practice. Artificial insemination offers a great opportunity to introduce high-quality genetics and continue improving the herd for the future.

Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly — looking forward to seeing the results in a few months’ time!

🐮 Timely reminder as calving season kicks off in the North!

The CalfWatch project uncovered a hidden cause of calf loss in northern herds - bottle teats right after calving.

They were the leading cause of calf loss, responsible for calf deaths in 5-6% of all pregnancies.

The tricky part? Many cows looked “normal” just weeks later, so the problem often goes unnoticed at muster.

⚠️ And here’s the kicker: the trait is heritable so keeping cows with bottle teats can lead to daughters with the same issue. That’s an ongoing hit to fertility and herd productivity.

🔍 As calving starts, keep an eye out:
✔ Check udders right after calving - that’s when bottle teats show.
✔ Record and manage affected cows early.
✔ Breaking the cycle now protects your next generation.

A quick look could save a lot of calves this season and the next! 👀

Our girl Paige attended her first show today in Bell QLD. At only 13 months old and with only three weeks prep she did quite well she was a standout in her class taking out junior and grand champion in the Droughtmaster devision.
