20.01.2022 Next up was the kiddies!! And this is always a highlight of the weekend watching the next generation of little campdrafters have their go. And the GI Brahmans M...ini Draft was no exception!! With a beautiful young local lass, Savannah Hawkins on a tremendous little grey pony called Tammy taking out the win.

17.01.2022 Clukan Axel calves enjoying some hay and molasses while they wait for desperately needed rain

15.01.2022 A huge thank you to all the studs who have purchased semen from Axel. We can’t wait to see his progeny popping up everywhere.

14.01.2022 Has anyone seen a Brahman with an IMF of 7%???? Gold City Sale Lot 73 - GI Earnest 3045 (PP) 13/14 lines of poll breeding... Structurally correct with clean polled head and good sire appeal, Earnest would suit both stud and commercial herds. His dam line is one of the longest surviving and most fertile lines in our Stud at the moment. Scanning data P8 15mm Rib 12mm EMA 138cm IMF 7.0% Weight 942kg Semen data SC - 36.5cm Motility - 76% Morphology - 80%

14.01.2022 Presenting 5 polled bulls for Big Country 2020. The draft includes 3 homozygous polled bulls

13.01.2022 Today we drafted up 40 polled red and grey bulls for an inspection. They have really come along nicely after the little bit of rain we had at Brookfield.

13.01.2022 Polled bulls for sale These boys were in our draft for Big Country when the floods prevented their entry. They have been fully evaluated by our vet who has given them a clean bill of health and BullCheck examination. $5000 plus GST

12.01.2022 GI Dayne 3029 (Homozygous poll) Dayne was our lead bull for the 2019 Big Country Sale before the heat blast that affected the Dingo Park feedlot forced his withdrawl from the sale. In the last 6 months, he has matured to the sensational sire that we hoped he would become. He now weighs a whopping 989kg and has passed all semen and health checks with flying colours. Scanning figures as at 23/1/19... EMA 132cm P8 13mm Rib 10mm IMF 6.6% Semen results as at 28/5/19 SC 40.5cm Motility 78% Morphology 75% Offered for private sale. Genuine inquiries only

11.01.2022 We had the remaining bulls morphology tested last week to see if they had recovered from the dramatic heat blast. The results are in!........ They all passed their BullCheck test with flying colours 3 had morphology above 80% with the top result of 94% normal We are confident that these boys will go out into the paddock and work now with little side effects of the heat blast.... A huge thanks to Py Porter and her team at Dingo Park for looking after them so well in their recovery.

09.01.2022 We are pleased to present our new red sire purchased at RBWS for $45,000. KENROL HJ SONIC RAY 2974 (PP) is an eye-catching homozygous polled bull with EMA of 143cm and good fertility traits. All his EBVs are above breed average. We can’t wait to see what he can produce in our herd. He will be spending some time at Rocky Repro while we collect some semen for export and domestic sale. We thank Wendy and Kenny Cole for presenting such an impressive sire.... #polledbrahmans #gibrahmans

06.01.2022 2 grey polls and 4 red polls headed to Gold City Sale on 1 November 2019. 4 bulls are homozygous poll

03.01.2022 Kelvin Harriman has a very nervous drive today. We have just loaded Clukan Axel and Lanes Creek Sir Solomon from Rocky Repro to take home. We said that we wouldn’t take Axel home until we had green grass but although it is still very dry there, we are better off than a lot in CQ. Not sure if he is more nervous about something happening on the road or his parents, Ron and Grace, finally getting to meet Axel! Both bulls have been in the amazing care of Tim and Sally North and team and have semen available for sale.

02.01.2022 I have two burgers. The one on your left is a beef burger from McDonald’s and the other on the right is a Beyond Meat, plant-based protein burger from A&W. You’...ve been told by companies, groups and the media to choose; to eat less meat because one is better for the environment, and we’ve been led to believe that by picking one over the other, we’re doing our part in climate change and being more environmentally-friendly. What if I told you that both burgers are doing their part and all agriculture is part of the solution, not the problem? What if I told you it’s not one versus the other when it comes to climate change? What if I told you there is more to the story than these companies are sharing? To let you know, my family and I grow lentils. I’m grateful demand has grown for this tiny seed jammed packed with protein. I don’t raise cattle but have friends who do and am grateful for all they do to also raise nutrient-dense food. All of agriculture, both the plant protein and the beef burger are doing their part when it comes to climate change. Agriculture in Canada accounts for 8% of total emissions, and cattle contribute less than half of that at 2.4%. But did you know the largest sources of emissions were transportation at 28%? Why are we blaming cows, dairy and meat so much? Contrary to recent headlines, giving up meat won’t save the climate or even make a significant difference to climate change. According to the University of California, Davis, if Americans were to eat the plant-based burger instead of the beef burger on Meatless Monday every week for a year it would only be a reduction of 0.3% in emissions. If I were to go full vegan for a year, I would reduce 0.8 tonnes of greenhouse gases. Is that 0.8 tonnes a huge difference? Not as much as you might want it to be. One round trip flight from the US to Europe emits 1.6 tonnes so a whole year of reducing meat in your diet has only half the impact of a single transatlantic flight. Removing animals from agriculture would lower greenhouse gases to a small degree but there’s unintended consequences if we removed them completely. There’s a really great story when it comes to agriculture’s environmental footprint missing from those headlines and trying to get you to choose sides. One part of that solution is right under our nose.literally. It’s in the soil. By managing soils for healthy crops and raising healthy livestock, soil can hold water, nutrients and capture carbon. As per the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), agriculture and forestry land use in the US currently takes in and captures more carbon than it emits. Whoa....what? --The Agriculture and Forestry sectors combined are capturing more carbon in the atmosphere than they are putting out. -- These headlines aren’t sharing agriculture is doing our part. In the past, our lentil fields would be ploughed so all you would see every other year would be soil and some weeds. But by growing a crop and minimally disturbing the soil by direct seeding, lentils take greenhouse gases out of the air, create nitrogen and then put nitrogen back into the soil. It’s like nature’s way of fertilizing the crop for next year and capturing carbon. But not all land is suitable for growing crops. Only 3.2% of Canada’s land can be used for growing crops , but cattle can inhabit and graze nonarable land. Pastureland used for grazing cattle in Canada removes greenhouse gases and stores the emissions of 3.62 million cars per year. Raising cattle has many environmental benefits such as soil replenishment, nutrient recycling, preservation of natural grasslands, and improving biodiversity and wildlife habitat. It’s pretty incredible that cattle can upcycle land, which is otherwise unproductive to humans, into protein-rich food for families while returning benefits to the land. These are just a couple of examples out of so many more of farmers and ranchers helping be more environmentally friendly and efficient. Whether we grow crops or raise livestock, we care about the soil and environment. We know we have more work to do but we have been working hard at being more efficient, doing our part and being part of the solution. There is always more to the story than the click-bait headlines. When you read or hear about Eat Less Meat to Save the Planet or have to choose between a plant-based or a meat burger, please remember and know that there are farmers and ranchers behind the scenes doing their best to save the planet too. I appreciate that we get the choice of how to farm and you get so many choices in the grocery store and at restaurants. For me, I’ll always choose the beef burger.

02.01.2022 Very happy to say that our sponsorship of this campdraft has gone to 2 gorgeous local girls whose families were badly affected by the flooding. Well done to the committee for running such a wonderful event!
