3 Welcome to Swanbrook Angus. Glynis and Brian Turner and family are very pleased to welcome you and to present you our 2016 draft of bulls. Swanbrook Angus stud herd has been growing quietly since Prior to that we ran commercial breeders and purchased store cattle to fatten. We now run 300 stud Angus females side by side with commercial cows under commercial conditions. Until 2015 we have sold bulls privately to our valued clients. At Swanbrook Angus we focus on producing docile, functional, fertile cattle with growth and the flexibility to finish for the supermarket or grow on with the carcase traits to suit the long fed market. We aim for A balanced calf with good growth and good carcass properties yet retain fertility and milk. Temperament is a high priority both for safety and $ returns - quiet cattle gain more weight, finish earlier, require less labour and make life easier. Moderate milk figures to enable the cow to keep enough for herself to get into calf when feed is scarce. We also aim to maintain fat levels so cows have reserves for hard times and animals easily finish for sale. Above average growth with maternal cow weight less than that of 600 day weight gives sale cattle of good weight as well as an efficient cow herd. We avoid inbreeding which adds a gain of within-breed hybrid vigor. Joining 2013 was in a world of declining feed and cows were challenged to go into calf. February 2014 these bulls mothers took to the stock route and we slogged out a very ordinary year with everyone else in the region commercial conditions. The 2014 calves were born into an improving season and hopes were high for a run of good years for a change went from a November that had paddocks that seemed to have a never ending supply of feed, to January 2016 that seemed we were living in a hair dryer. We were looking at a very challenging winter 2016 and these bulls were supplemented with grain oats on our last green feed through Autumn. The very late Autumn rain came just in time. We are very dependent on grazing oats for winter feed and those paddocks were bare until June. Now the sale bulls are on the feed they deserve, but the months of shortage have culled the lesser animals. Under commercial conditions animals have to cope with shortage and utilize times of plenty well. As our animals do not live in the manner to which some stud cattle are raised, those that will perform in commercial conditions rise to the top. Our yearling females are joined, scanned in February and heifers not in calf are sold regardless of pedigree. Heifers that have calving difficulty are culled. Cows have to have a worthwhile calf every year to remain in our herd. Where a cow remains until her 12 th and 13 th year she has proven her fertility, longevity and general merit. Over the past 20 years, Swanbrook has been able to use some of the best bulls available from Australia, USA, Canada and New Zealand through the use of Artificial Insemination (AI). These sires are found in the catalogues of the top selling Angus studs across Australia. Their calves are run with calves by natural mating so the superior calves from both systems are identified. We AI 100 to 200 females annually, depending upon the season. This season many bulls from natural mating are in the catalogue having performed equally with their AI peers, and are backed up by the superior individuals in their pedigrees and by the selection pressure on their dams and granddams. The 2016 sale bulls are not yet 2 years old. They are fit and fat enough and will grow into their 3rd and 4th year. By not over feeding them as youngsters their useful life is likely to be longer. After this wet winter we look forward to a great spring. Feed combined with buoyant cattle prices promises rewards. Maximize the future income from your cows - give them fertile fit young bulls of the best affordable quality. A Swanbrook Bull.

4 Vaccinations It is most important that herd bulls be protected from STDs by vaccination. They don't practice safe sex and have multiple partners - as this is their job. If your fences are bullet proof and not crossed by streams that could take out a flood fence so that straying stock never entered and you never bought in breeding stock other than virgin bulls and heifers, you could keep your herd free of Vibriosis. Otherwise protecting your bulls from Vibriosis by 2 initial vaccinations with Vibrovax and annual boosters will prevent any introduction affecting a large portion of your herd and income. Even with the mythical cattle proof fence and closed herd Leptospirosis is a constant danger in the district. Feral Pigs carry the disease and go where they please throughout the area. Water points are a likely transfer location for Lepto from pig to cow. 7 in 1 vaccination of the entire herd protects both your herd from reproductive and production losses and yourself from an unpleasant long illness. Our bulls are vaccinated from young calves with 7 in 1 - most recent was on 2 nd June 2016 Their first Vibrovax was given on 2 nd June and the booster will be given in July. They have been given a backline of Genesis for internal and external parasites on 2 nd June They were given one 3 day vaccination in January Semen Testing. Swanbrook Angus aim to supply fit and fertile bulls to our clients. These bulls were fertility tested by Inverell Vet Clinic in June and semen samples were laboratory tested for morphology. The visual test gives a count of live sperm and the morphology tests that the sperm are able to get to where they are going. Crush-side tests alone are not enough to be confident of a bull s fertility. Bulls that fail are withdrawn from sale until retested and pass. Our bulls are grown out gently and are presented in good working order. We avoid extensive grain feeding of bulls but they do get some grain to supplement the oat paddock. They certainly aren't as heavy as they could be. This is so that the bull can go out to work now and is likely to maintain his fitness for years. The main purpose of the bull is to get calves, not to maximize his weight at slaughter. They will continue to grow into their 3rd and 4th years. DNA Defects Policy Four recessive defects (AM, NH, CA and DD) have been identified in the Angus population over the past few years. Possible carrier animals are visibly no different to the rest of the Angus herd. They are known by pedigree and then laboratory tested to either clear or label them as carriers. No loss comes from mating carriers with non Angus herds. The defects only arise when both cow and bull carry the gene and the resulting calf carries two copies. Stud AM and NH bull calves make fantastic steers as the financial cost of using them over Angus herds is significant. CA has a low rate of occurrence in the national Angus herd. Where a calf gets a double dose of this recessive gene the result is a slightly lesser, but viable animal. Any bull with a high probability of carrying CA is DNA tested - at Swanbrook Angus, carriers are fully disclosed but still offered for sale. Of the animals with two copies of DD gene, many show no effects, some others have extra parts - underdeveloped limbs or small lumps and bumps. Some argue that the commercial cost of DD is insignificant. Be very wary buying bulls from non-registered herds. A cheap bull could cost you more than you save. Registered animals have their DNA status in these traits displayed clearly on their pedigree and you can be confident in knowing what you are getting. (This is the AMF, NHF, CAF, DDF etc at the right of the page) Because a number of otherwise superior females carry the genes in many studs, DNA testing is a significant ongoing expense in offering bulls for sale. DNA samples are taken from every Swanbrook Angus calf at weaning and stored for the future.

5 When you get your bull home Give your new bull some friends when he arrives - cows or steers (not other bulls) in a secure paddock or yard. If there are other bulls on your farm or next door, make sure there are two fences between them and allow them to yell insults at each other for a few days or weeks. If he is to become part of a group of bulls ideally introduce them to a few bulls at a time when they have full bellies in a larger paddock where there are no empty females nearby. Swanbrook Angus uses motorbikes and dogs and quiet yet firm handling. Our bulls may find horses strange at first. Introduce your bull to being worked by horses when he is in a small mob of cattle. They are vaccinated with 7 in 1 and Vibrovax. Other vaccinations such as Pestigard and 3 Day sickness, if required, should be given after he settles in or could be arranged to be given after sale day and prior to delivery. Joining Our bulls are semen tested and checked for structure etc by the vet but have not had a service capacity test. The test is the fertility of the bull on a particular day. Subsequent injury or infection can compromise his ability to get calves. Monitor your joining - problems can develop during joining and in subsequent years. Check the bull is successfully serving. Penile infection can occur and physical injury does happen during and after serving particularly in multiple joining groups. Prompt veterinary treatment of infection may prevent permanent loss of a bulls fertility. Watch for lameness, lethargy or ill health. Nutrition of your cows before and during joining impacts on cycling and pregnancy rates. A rising plane of nutrition is ideal. Observe cows for signs of heat. In a group of 40 cows approximately 2 will come on heat each day at the beginning of joining. If the number of cows cycling each day does not reduce after the first 3 weeks investigate promptly, not when it comes time to pregnancy testing. The Next Season Maintain the fertility and fitness of your bull. Bulls need space if running with other bulls in the off season. Younger bulls need higher nutrition to continue their growth while older bulls need to recover from the joining period, be well fed, but not get over fat. Give annual boosters of 7 in 1 and Vibrio vaccine. Get your vet to check him each year prior to joining. A bull that is fertile and functional aged 2 years may not remain so into old age. It is wise to annually have your vet check your bulls for viable sperm and physical injury to his reproductive gear. Even in multiple joining groups one dud bull, if he is the dominant bull, can significantly reduce pregnancy rates. Handling Bulls Bulls are large animals. We make sure that as calves they learn that humans are the boss in the yard and paddock. Handle gently but firmly within a group of cows or steers. Whenever they are in a group of bulls there is potential for strife. In the yards give them twice as much space as you would the same number of steers and in smaller pens work them in ones, twos or threes. No matter how quiet a group of bulls may seem, always have a way out as an argument can erupt in an instant. Enjoy the quietness of a bull but never trust him - at over a tonne weight even an affectionate rub from a mature bull can break human ribs.
