23.01.2022 In honour of International Rural Women’s Day we would like to honour Gwyneth Warren, the first Life Member of the Droughtmaster Society. Gwyneth was the secretary of the Association from 1954 till 1964 at the same time the new Droughtmaster breed was officially recognised. During those ten years, Mrs Warren from Bronte at Ingham, administered the secretarial affairs of the Australian Zebu Cross Beef Breeders’ Association formed in 1952. Its name was changed to the Austra...lian Tropical Beef Breeders’ Association in 1956, eventually becoming the Droughtmaster Stud Breeders’ Society at the AGM in Townsville on 3 July 1962. Membership had risen from 7 to 100 and registrations had grown to 8000. The breed had received recognition from show societies and was exhibited regularly at all major shows in Queensland including the RNA Brisbane Exhibition. Mrs Warren had her own Bronte Droughtmaster stud and she was appointed an Associate judge at the 1959 Ekka. A talented artist and sculptor, Gwyneth Warren was admired and respected by those who came under her influence and direction. Sadly, ill health forced her resignation in 1965 and Mrs Warren passed away in November of that year. (Image and information taken from John S.

20.01.2022 Deep Valley Clementine and daughter Daybreak Droughtmaster Clementine 1. We took Clementine to Kununurra meeting thousands of people along the way. Our aim was ...to raise awareness of mental illness in the community. That was in mid 2018. Late last year she presented and raised twin bull calves. And now a heifer calf. I get a real kick receiving photos of past Clementines with their new calves from supporters who have bought a Clementine. Anyone interested in becoming a Clementine owner should note we are offering two beautiful mated heifers in the next fortnight at sales in Boyanup and Manjimup. See more

18.01.2022 The tick resistance, heat and drought tolerance and general resilience of the Bos indicus cattle formed the basis for the Droughtmaster breed, originally a cross-breed of Zebu-British cattle. It is the blend of these desirable characteristics that have made the Droughtmaster one of Australia’s most popular breeds and Australia’s natural wonder. https://www.queenslandcountrylife.com.au//new-genetic-tr/

13.01.2022 Cream of the Crop Female Sale and Truvalle Droughtmaster Stud Dispersal results. Coolabunia Selling Complex Saturday 28 Novermber. Congratulations to all the vendors and buyers on such a successful day. (A huge shoutout to the sale organisers, Melanie and Graham Brown who do a terrific job year in, year out).

13.01.2022 A HAPPY ENDING IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO KEEP THE STORY MOVING TO GET THERE. Alan Cohen Back in January, you may remember a story about a ple...a for help from Emma Thompson of Auzdown Droughtmasters in Warwick, for assistance with her small stud herd. After the passing of stud partner and Droughtmaster life member Pat Flynn, Emma was in the midst of extreme drought conditions that resulted in her making a heart breaking decision to re-home her and Pats beloved stud cows. The cows had seen better days and made the journey to Pimpama and greener pastures. Fast forward 10 months and this story has a happy ending with the females starting to calve. These girls have not missed a beat, are looking as shiny as new pins and must have gone in to calf nearly as soon as we put them with a bull - testament to the fertility and survivability of our beloved Droughtmaster cattle.
