23.01.2022 Happy Father’s Day to all our Customers’ families ....and their fatherly Popplewell Bulls. Plenty of Popplewell sires’ calves hitting the deck right now.

23.01.2022 A big thanks to my team for their professionalism in making a great mob of weaners this year. Also a thank you to all the Truck drivers involved with the logistics to getting them to the grow out properties. #NoJiggers

23.01.2022 Great to have my mates Professor Wayne Pitchford and Dr Rick Tearle with their Research students Rudi McEwin and Maddie Facy visit us at some of our breeding locations this week.

23.01.2022 Popplewell Eureka 18-170 P

22.01.2022 One of our yearling black pathfinder bull on his way to get semen tested, he passed with flying colours along with all of our bulls

21.01.2022 Ned Rebgetz, Running River Pastoral, proud of his new Popplewell Eureka sired calves. Charters Towers QLD.

20.01.2022 Polled Genetics explained much simpler than Greg would.

20.01.2022 First Calf 2YO Popplewell Eureka Line heifer and calf. We expect our girls to first calve a year earlier than most tropical breeds.

20.01.2022 Thanks Rodney for today’s happy snap.

19.01.2022 A couple of yearling Pathfinder bulls leaving to a customer this week.

19.01.2022 Greg’s favourite time of year, Calving!

18.01.2022 Bulls off to their new homes yesterday. Deliveries to Nebo, Gracemere, Charters Towers, Hughenden, Richmond and Bowen. A special thank you to our customers.

17.01.2022 I’ve been #TakingBull again. My thoughts on our making a positive impact customers herds;

17.01.2022 We have urgent medications to go to Richmond as soon as possible. Please let us know if anyone can help out.We have urgent medications to go to Richmond as soon as possible. Please let us know if anyone can help out.

16.01.2022 Goodbye 2019. Thanks for the lessons. We are so grateful to our customers, team and service providers for their amazing support in a very dry challenging season. This year we:... - Sold 136 bulls to improve customers’ herds and businesses. - Genomic profiled and measured 484 Multiplier Program Customer calves - Retained our breeder Nucleus in good condition through calving and joining despite a very very dry season to ensure we will have plenty of quality bulls for customers in 2020, 2021 and beyond. We have a handful of bulls now for sale, kept aside as spares. If you need some call Greg 0447 121 30 Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas, Wet and prosperous 2020

15.01.2022 Yearling Eureka bull headed to a customer this week

15.01.2022 A great opportunity to work on a progressive operation with great people.

15.01.2022 Lease /Long Term Agistment Wanted SEQ/ Wide Bay Burnett. We are looking for more leases/long term agistment to accomodate mobs of 75-250 breeders due to our herd growth from fertility. If you have or know of suitable country in South East Queensland and looking for professional grazier tenants that care for people,land and livestock give Greg a call on 0447 121 305. References available from all our landlords.

14.01.2022 Popplewell Eureka 17-023 (Polled). His first Eureka line (just 25% Indicus - 4 breeds) sons will sell this year as semen tested ready to work yearlings around when he himself will just be 3 years old. Our early age of puberty is turbo charging our program to make even faster genetic gain with less generation interval lag than any other tropical beef breeding program in Australia.

14.01.2022 Rising 2YO point of calving heifers. Woodford #EarlyPuberty

14.01.2022 Fran and Damien Lyons Basalt River have been using Popplewell Composite Genetics since 2014 and have made huge productivity improvements through genetics, pasture and nutrition management innovation. Great to spend time with these people.

14.01.2022 Calf weighing and tagging is Greg’s favourite time of the year. An annual milestone in a journey of continuous genetic improvement.

13.01.2022 14-005 with a Eureka CAF

13.01.2022 Good old 8030 born in Spring 2007 back when the program started. Now a great great great Grandmother. Still gets in calf first thing every breeding season.

11.01.2022 Yearling Transition Bull heading to a customer this week

11.01.2022 Stats from the Buggy drive yesterday with Sam Wright at Mount Spencer: How did your #8 Popplewell Transition Yearling Bulls go in the Heifers last year Sam? 93% Composite Heifers PTIC Average of Heifers across breeds about 65%. All the Popplewell Bulls came out healthy and semen tested well on there annual check this year.... #GeneticsatWork #YearlingBullsWork See more

10.01.2022 We Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluated and Semen Tested all August/September Yearling bulls this week with JB.

08.01.2022 Another Popplewell standard calf weighing unit installed today. Col will be weighing and tagging calves from heifers all calving at 2YO. #EarlyPuberty #EasyCalving.

04.01.2022 Thank You Kev, Wayne, Dad, Liam, Gav, Elizabeth and Sam for helping out at Beef2018 and for all the customers and visitors for coming in to see us. Katrina, Eve and I couldn’t have had such a sucessfull week with put you.

02.01.2022 AUCTIONSPLUS - TOMORROW

02.01.2022 Approximately 490 Indicus cross cows; vet PTIC to Popplewell bred bulls. Account of Barry and Leanne O’Sullivan via Kevin Graham 0418 411 351. The majority of the #7 daughters of these cows first calved at just 2 years old and are about to calve again at 3! VGC mainly #1 and #2 . Located: Collinsville, Central Queenland These cows and their pregnancies are a genetic opportunity not to be missed.

02.01.2022 Lots of Grass and lots of Popplewell Transition Line sires calves out of crossbred cows at Barry and Leanne O’Sullivan’s, near Bowen this week. Proud to supply genetics to these great integrators of soil, pasture and herd management.

01.01.2022 STRONG SIGNALS CONTINUE FOR WIDESPREAD RAINFALL FOR NEXT 6 WEEKS. Modelling largely unchanged for the next 6 to 7 weeks. A strengthening signal for rainfa...ll this week is likely to be the beginning of a wet face across part of central and eastern Australia. Probably not the news that a lot of farmers out there want to hear, but it has been well advertised on this page that the rains are coming. The video below is from now until 15 November. We have a La Niña event in the Pacific, warmer than average sea surface temperatures around a large part of Australia and the development of a negative Indian Ocean Dipole. All the climatic drivers are in phase to bring widespread rain to the nation, and now this is being indicated in the short-term modelling. Over the next fortnight, we should see a marked increase in rainfall for eastern Australia, particularly Queensland and adjacent inland areas stretching down into Northern New South Wales. This will be thanks to the wind shifting into the east, pumping moisture in for the Coral and Tasman seas. Moisture from the tropics is expected to increase significantly over the coming four weeks, in line with the seasonal shift over northern Australia. Inland low-pressure troughs thanks to increasing heat values, will be the lifting mechanism for showers and thunderstorms to develop over wide areas of Central Australia. The moisture from this activity will also feed into southern and eastern Australia. For South Australia and Western Australia, widespread thunderstorm activity is expected to be the feature for the next 4 to 6 weeks near inland troughs, with out of season low pressure systems developing along troughs from time to time. We are losing the westerly influence over southern Australia, which will see that shift for more widespread rainfall over inland areas, and for systems not to move so quickly from west to east. I have attached the GFS extended rainfall outlook accumulation for the next 35 days. The European and Canadian models are very similar in widespread rainfall potential. The threat for flooding is increasing for inland areas as we tracked through the next six weeks. Coastal areas can take a bit more rainfall, which is thanks to a dry spell. Again the only caveat I place on these long-term models is that you need to cross check and reference the short-term deterministic and ensemble data to confirm rainfall trends. From my post earlier in the week, you can see that there is widespread rain in the next fortnight which supports these outlooks.

01.01.2022 Photos of weaners by Popplewell Transition and Pathfinder Line sires back in May. Part of a Genomic program we are running at at Bow Park, Julia Creek.

01.01.2022 I’m guessing this 12 month old Popplewell Transition Line Bull will pass his semen test tomorrow with flying colours...
