Importance of pasture w**d management.

This is Sukari, our top performing Akaushi bull.
Aproximatly 6 weeks ago I went to check up on the cattle at the other farm where Sukari is also staying, I noticed him being a bit slow and arching his back a little, I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what it was so I gave him some vitamins and let him get some rest.

2 weeks later he had regained his energy, however he had lost condition and was peeling aggressively.
That's when I realised he was going through Photosensitization, I did some more digging and found that this farm has previously had a problem with St Johns Wort which is known to cause this.
It's our first year at this farm and the w**d was yet to flower so we had no idea it was there.

This was a good lesson for us to show that just because something is not visible, doesn't mean it's not there and to be cautious of new pastures.
Luckily Sukari has completely bounced back and doing well.

Our last lot of poddy calves for the season, that takes up to just under 100 in Spring.
We decided to add a bit of variety for the last lot though and got some coloured calves instead of just plain black Angus x ones we've been getting

Mazda Wagyu Cedes
This girl has more than proven herself, she's a well natured cow who holds condition in the worst of times and will rear the best calves in our herd.
She was the Dam of Suge, a steer who dressed out at 581kg (1,280lb) at 28 months old, had a 4-1 feed conversion during his 5 months on feed and gave us our highest MasterBeef camera MS we've had to date.

She's now got a young bull calf at foot by Sukari, making him identically bred to Suge.

Line Breeding.

How far can you go?, in Akaushi we're extremely limited on genetic diversity especially with lines that perform.
Line breeding is inevitable but how far can you push it?. This is Kaizen, a 12 month old bull calf that takes it to the extreme in a little experiment we're doing.

He is sired by Fx014, the top performing son of Big Al who's already heavily line bred Namimaru and Dai 10. This calf's Dam is also sired by Big Al and her Dam is cow sired by Big Al again.

I'm aware of the risks involved in breeding animals this way and if I'm being honest I wouldn't usually be so brave as to attempt it, however Bob had these embryos made prior to me taking the reigns on Mazda Wagyu so I wanted to see where this could go.
So far this bull calf's growth is outperforming all the other calves in his contemporary group but we've got a long way to go before we can call this particular breeding a success

Belle giving Kahl and Ruby a little treat.

We came to the farm straight after kicking ass at her netball game, 11-nil Go Bullets!

Few of the calves we're rearing at the farm, they'll be used as surrogates in our embryo programs and carry our next generation of stud cattle

MW430, a 30 month Sukari sired heifer next to her dam.
This girl was originally destined to end up as steak however I had a change of heart around 6 months ago and decided to join her to Kinutsuru 315 to get a composite calf instead.

She had a great pedigree but just didn't make the cut originally, however she has since shot up and grown into one of our best looking girls on our farm and has got me very excited for her calves.

A bit of an update after yesterday's video.
The heifer is up and full of energy, a little bit wobbly in the back end but definitely on the right path.
We brought her in to remove the rest of the afterbirth and we'll continue monitoring her over the next week
