Welcome to Ashwood Devons 2017Our Third Sale

The 2016/2017 year has seen more successes for Ashwood in the show ring and in the paddock with some more great calves on the ground in spite of a long dry summer.

We continue to be delighted with the offspring of BON F11 (Bongalabi Bon Fantastic) who well and truly lives up to his name. He is a tremendously long and well muscled bull and reproduces those characteristics in his calves. Of the 13 bulls on offer at our sale this year 6 are from this “fantastic” sire.

ALL our bulls this year are super quiet. All are very good bulls, well balanced and well and truly ready for work. Their diets are supplemented with a small amount of grain through winter but essentially they are grass fed, paddock reared animals.

ASHWOOD KNOCKOUT, our back to back “Ekka” Grand Champion bull is also earning his keep with his first calves now making an entrance. We expect we will be proudly offering some of these at our 2019 sale.

It is always difficult to choose females which you are prepared to part with, especially when they are all quality heifers produced with the sole purpose of enriching a herd and securing the future with good females. We are nevertheless offering three joined heifers which will add class genetics to any herd.

Once again we are proud to be offering excellent paddock reared bulls and females at our sale. We look forward to welcoming you to what we know will be a happy and informative day.

And please support the local and district businesses that have provided us with their support in the production of our cattle, and of this catalogue.

This year’s bulls ... an organised and quiet bunch

Followers of “Marmite”, the calf with the nouse to keep his cool, will be pleased to know he continues to prosper.

Full of attitude, Marmite and his mum, are local heroes here at Ashwood. He has become a model to his young mates for his ability to find new ways to prosper and amuse!

Happenings at Ashwood

SOMETHING SPECIALIn 2015, when Ashwood Cara 1 was crowned

Grand Champion Female, then Supreme Devon Exhibit at the Sydney Royal, the judge commented that her calf at that time was as good as, if not better than her dam.

In 2017 that calf went on to prove him right when Ashwood Cara 10 took out Grand Champion Female at the Sydney Royal.

And to continue the proud tradition of the Cara line which has given us so much pleasure, and won many broad ribbons for us, our new Grand Champion has just added to the line by producing her second beautiful heifer calf (Ashwood Cara 13), sired by another Ashwood Grand Champion (Ashwood Knockout).

Low female cattle slaughter and high carcase weights have set the scene for 2017, with these two components filtering through to influence the 2017 April Cattle Industry Projections Update.

While the January estimate of 7.1 million head cattle slaughter remains, much heavier carcases will go a long way to alleviating the constrained supply pressure, with the result being only a slight (1%) year-on-year decline in beef and veal production.

“I grew up in Theodore (Pop 500 people) in central Qld on a 13,000 acre family-run cattle property of about 2,500 head.

For 25 years, we have operated a 500 head registered feedlot selling directly to Woolworths.

Before starting as a cattle market analyst at Meat & Livestock Australia, I completed a Bachelor of Economics at the Queensland University of Technology.

For the past 3 years I have been the Operations Manager of the National Livestock Reporting Service. The NLRS has 28 staff filing regular reports from sales across Australia.”
