24.01.2022 A NICE Mirand heifer from Tatoo Stylist who is out of Glauco Stylist that is also due in a couple of days to Dempsey. The Glauco is a maternal sister to the Winmar from our previous post. Loving this cow family!!

24.01.2022 Thanks to the Cohuna show committee for giving us the chance to get our girls dressed up for yesterday's NW All Australian Qualifying Show. It was great to have Les Bennett as judge, Les did a great job with an excellent standard set by the exhibitors. We had two of our three entries place with Altitude Lass placing 2nd to a very nice heifer from Glynyari Holsteins. Melaleuca Moovin Dharma (pic) had a very good day with Sarah Lloyd doing a great job on the halter winning her class and finishing HM for junior champion. Thanks to Erin Ferguson and Sarah Lloyd for your expertise preparing our heifers.

23.01.2022 Just off the back of Keith Petersen's post and great gesture to my parents Ross & Linda Somerville 'Clydebank Holsteins'. We thought we might also tip our cap to them and this bull. Clydebank Le Damion Ex92 from Clydebank Allen Leonie 94 2E with some more pics of his daughters. Thanks Keith.

14.01.2022 This weekend we hit the show scene. A bit disorganized, plenty of borrowing gear and seeking help from others, we were a part of the Echuca feature show 2019 and loved it!! Our entries were: Melaleuca Control Stylist in the Snr 2yr... Came 2nd in her class and Clydebank Alonzo Stylist Snr 3yr A 3rd place for her. They won 1st place for a group class, both being progeny of one dam.

13.01.2022 Our first born and bred heifers here at Melaleuca are coming in. These 3 are hopefully carrying imported Sidekick embryos from Freurehaven FGS Lucy!!

12.01.2022 Enjoyed the chance to get a couple of pics of our OFC entries.

12.01.2022 Melaleuca Windbrook Rae imp et Our 1st VG heifer!! She has 2 heifers by Chill and a Solomon. With 9 gens of EX cows behind her we are looking forward to trying to continue this great line from the Roxy's Dam 90pt Damion, Gold Dana 95 2E then Debutante Rae 90 3E.

10.01.2022 Melaleuca Solomon Dharma and friends loving the good Autumn weather. Dharma was joined to sexed Moovin and due in August.

10.01.2022 This is a well balanced Silver on her 1st lact. We have her Mogul brother running with the heifers. They are originally from the Romanac Odelia family in New Zealand.

09.01.2022 Our first Boom arrived yesterday!! Her dam is a Glauco x Storm and out of the Whynot family.

08.01.2022 Nice way to start 2020 with this little Diamondback heifer!!

07.01.2022 We had the classifiers in the other day and we're wrapped with three young cows on their 2nd lactation scoring 87pts. Also Melaleuca Control Stylist is our 1st born and bred heifer to go VG 85pts.

07.01.2022 This is quite an achievement!! At 6.4yrs Clydebank Winmar Stylist VG 85pts has just had her 5th natural daughter from just 5 matings. Her Alonzo is an 87pt 2nd lact. On Farm Challenge NW winning 3yr old. Her Control went VG as a 2yr old and came 4th as a Snr 2yr NW OFC. Her Lauthority is due to sexed Chief in September. Her Impression is 12 months old and looks like she might have a big future for us. Then this morning she has gone again and had a heifer by Triple-hil's Wilonna Whiteout. Stylist is backed by 8 VG and 1 EX and in her last lactation she did 10500lt's and is up to nearly 38000lt lifetime. ( Winmar is a Shottle x Clydebank Integrity Whynot 89pt)

06.01.2022 "Not many backbench MPs get a slot on prime time TV," I was told. So I took the opportunity to talk about all the things most of the Australian media don't want... to know about on Alan Jones Sky News Australia show last night: Politicians secretly owning water with NO obligation to disclose their water rights. Destruction of Australian family farms at the expense of large corporate foreign agribusinesses. Private traders making millions on the misery of farmers as so-called environmental flows are sent down the river. Simple policy changes ignored by government that would save farmers. Flow on effects to health and education in rural communities. . Many thanks to Alan Jones and Peta Credlin who genuinely care about what's happening to rural communties for giving me a voice. Watch

06.01.2022 Fresh start this morning -3c but made for some good photos when the sun came through!

03.01.2022 We enjoyed our day out at the Great Northern Show in Rochester. We received our 1st broad ribbon with Melaleuca Chill Rae Et winning Reserve Jnr Campion!! Another highlight for us was Melaleuca Mafia Dharma winning 1st place in the Holstein Youth Class and 2nd in her class. Thanks again to Erin Ferguson for clipping our cows and Sarah Lloyd for leading in the youth class.

02.01.2022 1st heifer by Crasdale Chill in and very happy!! Chill Rae is 10 days fresh, comes in first row and looks fantastic. Also had an Altitude heifer for us that we're pretty fond of.
