Huge congratulations to all the participants and organisers of the Studby Victoria Handlers Camp held in Geelong over the past few days. The event was incredibly well run, and it’s been fantastic to hear so much positive feedback about what everyone gained from the camp.

A special thank you to the organisers for all their hard work, and to the students who proudly showed some of the Wattledene animals. We were thrilled with the results, coming away with Reserve Champion Bull, Reserve Champion Female, and a number of class wins.

Special mention to Bethany Cole for achieving Champion Junior Judge — an outstanding effort. Congratulations also to everyone else who placed, and to those who simply got involved and gave it their all.

A sincere thank you as well to Max Perry and Darren Perry for transporting the cattle down and back safely, and to Brock and his family for helping move the gear and equipment. It’s no small task caring for a number of animals, their feed, and ensuring everything is transported smoothly — your efforts are greatly appreciated.

A brilliant team effort by all involved — well done everyone! 👏🐂🚛

A good mix of cows and heifers here, with the majority due over the next month or two. The paddock is starting to fill up nicely — four calves already on the ground and all healthy.

Still a tough season but...
Condition holding strong.
Bags coming on.
Quiet, content females doing their job.

Depth, fertility and doing ability — the foundations of the Wattledene herd.

Plenty more to come.

How good is this 💪🌧️🐮

Wattledene Hermione (WDS S34) delivered twin heifer calves today, just before a big storm rolled through. You couldn’t script it better — calm, steady and doing her job like the elite cow she is.

At just 5 years old, this is her fifth calf — and she’s still holding outstanding condition through some tough seasons. Fertile, functional and feminine… everything we breed for at Wattledene.

We couldn’t be happier with her consistency and doing ability.

I spent time looking out at dry paddocks, near empty dams, depleted hay stocks and large numbers of invading wildlife and feral animals.
I went for a drive recently as part of the Lions Club need for feed.
I saw burnt paddocks, empty dams tanks and pipes that no longer existed, no hay or hay sheds, reduced livestock and no wildlife. It reminded me of a saying.

Many people spend their lives trying to fulfil their dreams. Others head out to grab that opportunity. Over 18 months Hannah has continually amazed and impressed, with her management of animals, bright smile and great sense of humour. On the weekend, Hannah moves to NSW to begin a traineeship with the famous horse trainer Andrew Barnett. We wish Hannah, all the best and thank you

🌾 Grass Seeds… the gift that keeps on giving 🙃

That time of year again. We’re currently treating two bulls who’ve picked up grass seeds — and just to top it off, Noah the dog decided he didn’t want to miss out while helping push the herd up 🐕🐂🐂

It’s a timely reminder how quickly grass seeds can become a real issue for livestock and working dogs. We’re onto it early, keeping a close eye on everyone and getting treatment sorted before it turns into something bigger.

Check your stock, check your dogs, and don’t ignore the small signs — these little things can cause big problems if left too long.

Proud addition to the paddock 🤍🐂

We’re thrilled with our recent cow and calf purchase and would like to sincerely thank Anne and Ian from Cratloe Murray Greys for their enormous contribution to the Murray Grey breed over many years. Their dedication, knowledge and breeding program truly shows in the quality of these animals.

We’re excited to have this young bull join our program and are hopeful he’ll be a stud bull for our herd for many years to come. Looking forward to building on the strong foundations Anne and Ian have created.
