10.01.2022 FROM THE RURAL'S LIVESTOCK FEATURE PAGES: Valley Vista held an open day last week, allowing clients, both new and old, to view this year's sale rams, to be offered next Friday October 2. The event also allowed those in attendance to check out the brand new Proway sheep yards at Valley Vista, and hear from industry speakers on relevant topics.... Valley Vista's Joe Scott said the day allowed producers to view the rams in a relaxed setting. "It was an opportunity for clients to come look at the rams prior to the sale - next Friday October 2 is a red hot day in the district for Poll Dorset ram sales, with Rene and Springwaters sales also on that day, so it allowed people to have a look at what we have on offer on a spare day that didn't clash," he said. "We also had clients from some distance come along, giving them and others that may be operating on AuctionsPlus on the day a chance to see the rams. "And the rams were penned in more open spaces, rather than small pens, allowing clients to look at them walking around a yard, as well as having on display the 2020 drop ram and ewe lambs and keeper rams, giving people a wider view of where Valley Vista is heading." Industry speakers on the day included Elise Bowen from Sheep Data Management, Jim Meckiff from JM Livestock and Tom Graham, Coolac Vet Services. "We had some great industry speakers come along, with Elise informing clients about the direction Valley Vista genetics was headed," Joe said. "Jim gave a broader overview of Australian Sheep Breeding Values and then Tom spoke about animal health and structural assessment on rams, focusing on the importance of ram health and structure when going into joining ewes from a vets perspective. "With the good season we are having and the money in the market for sheep and lamb producers can invest more money and time in their breeding decisions and make more valued decisions on where they want to go with their own sheep operation."

05.01.2022 FROM THE RURAL'S LIVESTOCK FEATURE PAGES: This year marks the 94th year of the Graham family breeding Angus cattle on South west Slopes of NSW. On Wednesday September 30, Bongongo Angus will host its 26th annual Spring on-property Bull sale at Riverview and interfaced with Auctions Plus. ... Of the line-up of 80 bulls, 30 yearling bulls will be offered for the first time. Notable genetics include bulls by Beastmode, Clunies Range Legend, Lawsons Momentous, KO Proceed N21 and GAR Drive. The impact of the genetics of bulls purchased this year will be felt in herds for the next 10 years. The most significant area is herd fertility. Bulls can pass on traits like longer days to calving, increased gestation length, heavier birth weights or greater calving difficulties which have significant productive and economic impacts for a long time. Making bull selection a vitally important process. Bongongo bulls are renowned for lower birthweight and calving ease making them a sound and smart investment.
