The WHOLE PICTURE From Seedstock to Steak

The Turner family run a self replacing, Spring calving, Hereford breeding herd at Bindi, in the Victorian high country.

“We aim our production at both prime and store markets. Our cows are taken to our high country lease in December until April/May. They climb 2500 feet in 6kms. We sell our store calves at the annual Mountain Calf Sales, Ensay. Since we have been purchasing

Mawarra bulls (seventeen years), we have seen a significant improvement in the maternal traits of our cow herd. We have found Mawarra cattle to be reliable both in constitution and carcase performance, which has been highlighted by the recent success at the 2014 Royal Melbourne Show Carcase Competition. Keep up the fantastic work Peter, Deanne and family.”

Jim Hiscock is a Director at AJF Brien and sons, Coonamble, a rural marketing company that operates through the beef supply chain and enjoys a strong alliance with the Coonamble Feedlot.

“On behalf of our clients we source cattle from a wide compass of country. We can be confident that the cattle we purchase from the Mountain Calf Sales will perform in our conditions. We purchase calves ranging from 300 – 350 kgs.

They grow out at around 2kg/day on oat and cereal crops working towards a weight range of 400 – 500kgs. At this point they enter the feedlot and are grain fed for 100 days – end weight target of 700kgs. The Turner family produce quality cattle with good confirmation, bone and length. The Mawarra bloodlines give bone and frame suitable to carry the end weight; they are even, quality cattle. “

Brandon, under the umbrella of his MawarraB prefix, exhibited a team of five Hereford and three Hereford cross steers at the 2014 Royal Melbourne Show Carcase Competition as one of his projects for the Herefords Australia Youth Ambassadorship.

MawarraB Bindi, bred by the Turner family, and a litter mate to the steers pictured above at the Coonamble Feedlot, was first in his class on

the hoof and awarded Champion Domestic Carcase with a score of 90.34 points. Brandon’s team of five Mawarra blood steers, sourced from our clients, averaged 87.66 points. His team of eight averaged 86.71 points and included the Reserve Champion Heavy Domestic Carcase, awarded to his HerefordxCharolais / Angus entry with a score of 90.98 points.

We strive to consistently present industry leading, performance driven, seedstock to meetthe specifications of our clients, the backgrounder/feedlot sector and consumer.

Mawarra - from seedstock to steak - we strive for quality

Beef Class Structural Assessment SystemAs a very wise old cattleman once told Peter “An animal with poor structure is like a Rolls Royce without wheels.” The Mawarra herd has always been subject to our own strict structural soundness evaluation program. In line with our objective to record and report on all traits relative to selection we have made available, for your information, an independant structural evaluation. Liam Cardile scanned our sale bulls on December 16, 2014 and completed the structural assessment on the same day and these results were included in our sale selection process. Please see below an explanation of the assessment results. The full report will be available at the office on sale day and by request prior to sale. We were not able to include the information in this catalogue but would be interested in your feedback as to the value you see in the future inclusion of the report.

An explanation of the Beef Class Structural Assessment SystemThe Beef Class Structural Assessment System uses a 1-9 scoring system for feet and leg structure;

• A score of 5 is ideal• A score of 4 or 6 shows slight variation from ideal, but this includes most sound animals. An animal scoring 4 or 6 would be acceptable in any breeding program• A score of 3 or 7 shows greater variation but would be acceptable in most commercial programs. However, seedstock producers

should be vigilant and understand that this score indicates greater variation from the ideal.• A score of 2 or 8 are low scoring animals and should be looked at cautiously and inspected very closely before purchasing• A score of 1 or 9 should not be catalogued and are considered culls

TemperamentThe temperament or docility score separates animals from the same contemporary on their calmness in a confined area. Animals which are extremely quiet (touchable) score 1. Animals that are aggressive or extremely agitated in the crush are scored as 5.

EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR SELECTION INDEXESHereford selection indicies are calculated for four market specifications, namely, Supermarket, Grass Fed Steer, Grain Fed Steer and EU. These Indicies relate to typical self-replacing Hereford or Poll Hereford herds in temperate Australia targeting these specifications.Index values are reported as EBVs, in units of relative earning capacity ($’s) for a given market. They reflect both the short-term profit generated by a sire through the sale of his progeny, and the longer-term profit generated by his daughters in a self-replacing cow herd.

Supermarket Index ($) Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined for an example commercial herd targeting the domestic supermarket trade. Steers are either finished on grass or grain (eg 50-70 days) Steers are assumed marketed at 450kg live weight (250kg HSCW and 12mm P8 fat depth) at 17 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding. In response to industry feedback regarding eating quality and tenderness, a small premuim has been placed on marbling.

Grass Fed Steer Index ($) Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined for an example commercial herd targeting pasture finished steers. Steers are assumed marketed at 600kg live weight (330 kg HSCW and 8mm P8 fat depth) at 23 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding. In response to industry feedback regarding eating quality and tenderness, a small premium has been placed on marbling.

Grain Fed Steer ($) Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitalibility per cow joined for an example commercial herd targeting pasture grown steers with a 125 day feedlot finishing period for the grain fed markets. Steers are assumed marketed at 600kg live weight (330kg HSCW and 20mm P8 fat) at 20 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding. There is a significant premuim if steers reach a marble score of 2 or greater.

EU Index ($) Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined for an example commercial herd targeting pasture finished steers for the EU market. Steers are assumed marketed at 620 kg live weight (340 kg HSCW and 14 mm P8 fat depth) at 24 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding. There is no marbling requirement.

Calving Ease EBVs (%) are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBV’s are more favourable and indicate easier calving. Gestation Length EBV (days) is an estimate of the time from conception to the birth of the calf and is based on AI and hand mating records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation length and therefore easier calving and increased growth after birth.Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of progeny, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.200 Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth to early ages.400 Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for yearling weight.600 Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is based on the cow weight when the calf is weighed for weaning, adjusted to 5 years of age. This EBV is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age and is an indicator of growth at later ages and potential feed maintenance requirements of the females in the breeding herd. Steer breeders wishing to grow animals out to a larger weight may also use the mature Cow Weight EBV.Milk EBV gives an estimation of the animals milking ability. For sires this EBV indicates the effect of their daughter’s milking ability, inherited from the sire, on the 200 day weight of her calves. For dams, it indicates her milking ability.Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is calculated from the circumference of the scrotum taken between 300 and 700 days of age and adjusted to 400 days of age. This EBV is an estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for scrotal size. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny and therefore selection for increased scrotal size will result in reduced age at calving of female progeny.Days to Calving EBV (days) indicates the fertility of the daughters of the sire. It is the time interval between the day when the female is first exposed to a bull in a paddock mating to the day when she subsequently calves. A negative EBV for days to calving indicates a shorter interval from bull-in date to calving and therefore higher fertility.Carcase Weight EBV (kg) is based on abattoir carcase records and is an indicator of the genetic differences in carcase weight at the standard age of 650 days.Eye Muscle Area EBV (sq cm) is calculated from measurements from live animal ultrasound scans and from abattoir carcase data, adjusted to a standard 300kg carcase. This EBV estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals. Sires with relatively higher EMA EBVs are expected to produce better-muscled and higher percentage yielding progeny at the same carcase weight than will sires with lower EMA EBVs.Rib Fat and Rump Fat EBVs (mm) are calculated from measurements of subcutaneous fat depth at the 12/13th-rib site and the P8 rump site (from live animal ultrasound scans and from abattoir carcases) and are adjusted to a standard 300 kg carcase. These EBV’s are indicators of the genetic differences in fat distribution on a standard 300 kg carcase. Sires with low, or negative, fat EBVs are expected to produce leaner progeny at any particular carcase weight than will sires with higher EBVs.Retail Beef Yield EBV (%) indicates genetic differences between animals for retail yield percentage in a standard 300 kg carcase. Sires with larger EBVs are expected to produce progeny with higher yielding carcases.Intramuscular Fat EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of intramuscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.

Mawarra it was not only a privilege,

but with a fair bit of

excitement and anticipation, that I was able to view the

working factory that is the females of th

eir operation.

What an experience it was to be able to sin

k my teeth into the

fantastic line of females and comprehend why the Mawarra

females stand so strongly in the Hereford breed. The female lines

that produce bulls, but more importantly produce females, that

in turn do it ‘that little bit better’

than their dams.

Inspecting females of such quality that tick th

e boxes for

structural integrity, femininity, ferti

lity, milking prowess with

great udders; coupled with muscle, capacity and volume, you

can see why year after year

the bulls that the Sykes family put

before buyers, are

of the high standard we should demand;

and the quality that we are looking for in the industry.

Regards,

Tim WoodhamRoberts Ltd., Tasmania

I’d like to start by sa

ying

‘Behind every great male is

a great female’. I beli

eve, in

our industry, there is no

truer statement in regard to the

production of our bulls, stud or

commercial, as to the importance of the

female herd he comes from. After having purchased bulls from

The progeny from his two exceptional grand dams is an incredible $519,000 and includes three Hereford National Grand Champions and three Mawarra sires; Vice Admiral, Vice Chancellor and Chicago’s sire, Whisky River. Miss Titiania 299 is a full sister to $60,000 M. Nostalgia. Chicago is an outstanding prospect and we encourage your inspection, confident he will live up to the formidible standard his pedigree assures.

Borderline ticks the box for carcase with a great topline set on a well balanced, square base. His EMA & RBY EBVs are in the top 5% of the breed. Miss Titania 311 has three daughters retained in herd, one sold for $2,500. Her first son, and full brother to Borderline, Arctic Sun is pictured on page 67.

She has four daughters retained in herd including an ET sister to M. Big Gully. Her highest selling son, $16,000 M. You Beaut, was purchased by the Lindsay family, Bracknell, Tas. at the Hereford National in 2012. Big Gully is a bull to add length and carcase to your calves.

Meat, meat and more meat! The type of bulls the industry is looking for with carcase, yield, IMF and easy do ability that will see them finish well on grass. Blue Springs is a full brother to $12,000 Warragul, purchased by Ken & Kym Skews, Ensay; $6,000 Beaudesert, purchased by Eric Jamieson, Bairnsdale and ET twin to Lot 10, Blue Valley, below. See their photo on the back cover.

A carbon copy of Lot 9, Blue Springs, the softness and do-ability of these brothers combines with tremendous carcase. Minerva 640 is an outstanding Nostalgia daughter. She has produced two sale topping sons; $18,000 M. Grandslam (S) in 2009 and $16,000 M. Kahlua (S) in 2013, her seven sons sold to date have averaged $9,900.

Her first sold for $5,500 to J & G Crisp, Omeo and she has a Mountain Valley Gambler G14 son for 2016. With his SS and Milk in the top 5% of the breed and GL in the top 10% we are confident that Musketeer will continue the legacy of his sire and breed herd improving females for you.

Milestone is a heifers first calf. Grand dam Miss Titania 359’s two daughters are retained in herd, her first son was sold privately. Milestone is typical of the Maximum F10 sons, easy doing with plenty of thickness wrapped up in a true to type Hereford skin and coat.

Maximus will be an ideal heifer bull with his low birth weight and moderate frame. His birth to growth spread is excellent with positive fat numbers typical of the easy do ability of this sire line.

With sadness, we bid farewell to a stalwart of the Whiteface industry last year, mentor to many and friend to all, Dick Green. Greensborough Heidi 3 was Dick’s favorite cow of recent time and we are proud to include her in our herd. She has bred us two daughters, one being a full sister to Mississippi. This young sire offers you the opportunity to include not only the Greensborough lineage, but also the performance of 517U, into your Poll herd.

Montana is one of our favorites and we strongly encourage your inspection and consideration of this young sire. The question of his sale ‘destination’ has been hotly debated with the final outcome being to offer him as a feature Lot in this catalogue. Style, growth, carcase and noteworthy EBVs; a powerful combination of phenotype and performance. Montana is an outstanding prospect.

Shamrock B53’s first son sold for $5,000 and her four daughters are retained in herd, including an excellent full sister to Majestic. The Magnum / Shamrock cross has proved a powerful combination of carcase and maternal traits.

Maverick certainly has bragging rights, and enormous potential, with this pedigree. $80,000 Jovial combines with our most successful Poll female DB Tabitha Y177. Her eight sons, sold to date at Mawarra, have topped at $16,000 (twice) recording an average of $9,900. With international interest from three countries Mustang, our future sire and full brother to Maverick, is currently awaiting licensed collection.

found the Sykes family beyond reproach in

regard to their honesty, integrity and the advice they have offered me.

I introduced Mawarra genetics into my program over twenty-five

years ago. In 2006 I purchased eleven year old Mawarra Last Day

149 for $10,000. During the nine years she spent as a donor dam

in my herd; yes she lived to the ripe old age of 20!, she gave me

approximately 100 transferable eggs. After these results I was keen

to use more Mawarra genetics. I have purchased fifteen females since

2006 and numerous semen packages including M. Vice Admiral and

M. After Shock. I am currently waiting for the progeny of M. Air

Marshall to be born.

I wish the Sykes family and Mawarra all success for their forthcoming

sale and look forward to continuing our friendship and custom.
