4 July 2003 Dear Fellow Brahman Breeders What an eventful year it has been for all Brahman breeders,
especially in NSW! The highlight was the 40th Anniversary Sydney
Royal Feature Show, which was universally acknowledged as a resounding
success. The excellent coverage in the latest issue of Brahman
News can be accessed via www.brahman.com.au under “Latest News”. The Saturday night dinner brought together over sixty past
and present exhibitors and office-bearers in a night of reminiscences and happy
exchanges. It was particularly pleasing
to see Elsie De Landelles and Graeme and Ros Bauer, and our guest speaker Ian
Armstrong MP and his lovely wife Jenny.
John Park and Bob Berry — the first Chairman and Secretary of the NSW Branch
of the Australian Brahman Breeder’s Association — also enjoyed the evening. Our Principal, Dr George Jacobs, was awarded life
membership of the Australian Brahman Breeder’s Association, in recognition
of his contribution to the advancement of the breed and the association in NSW
over many years. Mogul Stud was successful in winning four classes at Sydney
Royal Easter Show 2003 including both performance classes, with Mogul Oakwood
and Mogul Namoi Manso. We also won the
Schute Bell junior heifer show at Sydney 2003, with Mogul Miss Skye 2nd. All three of these animals are certified
two-star tender by the new Genestar DNA test.
Mogul Stud Manager, Glen Pfeffer, collected the best
individual herdsman award for the 18th time. Progeny of Kabala Skye, including Mogul Oakwood and Mogul
Miss Skye, continue to impress. Mogul
Oakwood has now won his class at three major Queensland shows — Royal
Brisbane 2002, Gympie Feature Show 2003, and Rockhampton Show 2003,
where he was also Senior Champion Bull.
Mogul Miss Skye was Supreme Exhibit at the Maclean Show 2003. Scoring the double in the senior bull championships at
Rockhampton 2003 was Mogul MK Norton, as Reserve Senior Champion
Bull. We are proud to offer this red
bull in the Select Sires Section at the 2003 Rockhampton Brahman Week
Sale. He will be joined by four top
grey sires — Mogul Nevada, Mogul Nike, Mogul Namoi Manso and Mogul Omaha. Our annual production offering direct from the
property includes animals sired by: JDH Karu Manso JDH Navasota Manso JDH Norseman Jay-W Sir Bruce Lancefield D Robinson Mogul Kama. In addition to our usual range of bulls (stud and herd) we
are pleased to offer PTIC first calf grey females and a wide range of unjoined,
grey heifers. We have Breedplan figures available for the cattle on offer. Our Breedplan figures for 200-day, 400-day
and 600-day EBVs continue to exceed the Brahman Group Breedplan National
Averages. As briefly mentioned above, our performance Brahman breeding
program has been further enhanced by the recent results from Genestar
testing. Of thirteen animals
tested, ten have been classified as two-star and three as one-star — an
excellent result! We welcome your
enquiries. Our gate is always open to
our valued clientele and new breeders. Please visit
