25.01.2022 Here are the 3 bull calves I have kept from last year. I will use them as cleanup bulls after AI. They will be for sale from early next year after finishing their duties. They are in a paddock with ample low quality grass and get supplemented with a grain mix at about 1% body wt daily to ensure they meet my targets for joining.

25.01.2022 Feeding Angus bulls

24.01.2022 There has been a bit of a lull in the calving but it is getting going again now.A couple of Coonamble Nicnat calves on the ground with a couple more to come over the next couple of days from some very good cows that I am after heifers from so here is hoping. The SAV Rainmaster calves in the first group are really standing out for their thickness. The cows and calves are back in the tin mine but have access to 12 acres of oats in a rough sown paddock on land I just cleared last year. It has been very handy and so far they don't seem to be getting on top of it. The 2nd photo is a Q heifer that got through a fence up the back, QNJQ6, obviously not a good photo but I do like the shape and growth of these Musgrave Apache calves.

21.01.2022 I forgot to put the last photo in.

19.01.2022 Well, its about time I got Lode Ck Angus out of hibernation. I don't have any bulls to sell this year as I sold most to the butchers last year as part of my drought strategy. The Three I did have I sold last week. I am finding it very comfortable not having to feed bulls and wrestle with catalogues. My strategy from now on will be to just keep a handfull of bulls to sell at just about any age after weaning. I would also like to enter a pen in The "The Lands" feedback trial ea...ch year. i think my calves born July/August could meet the specifications for entry to the feedlot the following August. The drought has not affected my progress with my females. After all, this is what I got into this business of using the best genetics available to me using sires from across the globe to breed the most efficient females possible. I am very happy with the group of heifers I have that will start calving from about the 18th July. I will start to get some photos happening on a regular basis. I Turn over my cows at a reasonably young age to make way for new heifers coming through and will have good cows with many generations of good breeding for sale each year around March/April so if interested in buying any send me a PM.

19.01.2022 As threatened here is one of my P heifers, QNJP3. She is by EF Commando. She is due to calve on the 19th July to Basin Rainmaker. She is a thick little thing, her mother was a great cow, always one of the first to calve. She is following the trend of my herd with above average feed efficiency (top 19%). Her calving ease numbers are pretty handy too. https://angus.tech/enquiry/animal/result

18.01.2022 Here is another P heifer, QNJP10. She is by Bruns Blaster. Blaster adds a lot of mass to his progeny but does not add frame size. They grow fast and keep growing after weaning. She is out of a very compact Equator A241 cow. P10 is due to calve to SS Niagara on the 19th July, should be a ripper. https://angus.tech/enquiry/animal/result

11.01.2022 Another of my P heifers, QNJP1, she is by Hoover Dam out of a Black Pearl cow and should calve to Baldridge Compass around the 18th July. https://angus.tech/enquiry/animal/result

11.01.2022 Only a few hours to go before we start the timers on the Lode Creek Angus annual Helmsman auction at Warwick Saleyards. The crowd is starting to build and the big fellas are looking magnificent . #georgenfuhrman #angus #cattle #bullsale #lodecreekangus

08.01.2022 The first calves are not due until the 18th July however found a bit of a surprise this morning, twin heifers. They are over the back of the tin mine in some heavy scrub so it is going to be a bit hard to get them out so will just have to let the cow sort it. The only trouble is dogs do go through there occaisionally though I haven't seen any for a couple of months since we eliminated two males. Neighbours down the road lost a couple of sheep last week. The heifers are by SAV Rainmaster and the cow is by Sydgen Black Pearl. I am looking for Rainmaster's sire Coleman Charlo to moderate the cows frame a bit and thickness and easy doing. Photo was late this arvo in poor light but they are nice even calves and both seem to be aggressive sucklers and following the cow well. I hope she can count.

08.01.2022 I am pretty impressed with the vigour of the SAV Rainmaster calves. They are up and terrorising the place the day after they are born. He is a 4.3 for BW but I don't think he would be a dedicated heifer bull as they have a bit of thickness to them. I used him on a couple of heifers and got away with it. I had a good strike rate with the semen too. Here are a couple, the first one is the bull calf from the twins, out of a Black Pearl cow. The 2nd is a heifer out of a GAR Profit heifer. I think the calves have a good time growing up here, plenty of rocks and undulating terrain for them to explore. In this group the one in the front, R3 is a Baldridge Compass daughter, out of a Hoover Dam heifer.

05.01.2022 Here is some of my Q heifers. Hard to get a photo of them as they keep walking up to me. The first is QNJQ11, she is by Basin Rainmaker out of an Equator A241 cow. 2nd photo is QNJQ6 on the right, she is by Musgrave Apache out of a GAR Prophet cow. I really like these Apache's. On the left is QNJQ15, she is by one of my bulls, SAV Renown son and out of an Equator A241 cow. I think she is really top shelf.

02.01.2022 Here is a video of the bulls I am selling at Warwick Saleyards the 17th August. I think they are pretty fit looking yet they weigh well. The SAV Renown bulls are very easy doing and have a high feed efficiency EBV.

02.01.2022 Finished calving now. I have some great looking bull calves that I hope will continue to grow well if we get a bit of a season. My plan is to run some of these on over next winter and then to sell them as yearling bulls next spring. Here are a couple of them. Some by my bulls are looking good. The first is a SAV Rainmaster out of a SAV Renown cow. The 2nd one by my bull P16 who is by SAV Renown out of a GAR Prophet heifer. 3rd by my bull P5, an EF Commando son out of a Bruns ...Blaster heifer. 4th, R4 by Basin Rainmaker out of an EF Commando heifer. 5th R20 by my bull P7 by Bruns Blaster out of a SAV Thunderbird cow See more

02.01.2022 Calving is coming along, some early ones and a couple of heifers I'm still waiting on , a couple of days over. I have 3 very good cows that I have yet to get a heifer out of. Two have calved and given me the desired heifer. The first is QNJL5, she is by GAR Prophet and her heifer calf is by LD Capitalist 316. I think she is looking very cheeky already. The 3 bulls I have got from L5 have been exceptional, the 1st two were my top priced yearlings in 2018 and 2019 and were keen...ly sort after and her 3rd I will be using this year after AI. Here's hoping this heifer shapes up as well. The 2nd cow QNJK18 is a SAV Thunderbird cow who is the only female I have out of one of the first cows I bought from Wattletop. I lost two other females from this cow, one to botulism the other to a torn uterine artery and K18 had not produced a female prior to this calf.I do want to keep this cow family going. The calf is by Sydgen Enhance. Not a good photo but shows that she is alive. See more
