2 Welcome to our June Newsletter which contains information and thoughts on our upcoming bull sales and Open Day. ANGUS & BRANGUS AUTUMN NEWSLETTER 2017 Welcome to our autumn newsletter. On behalf of Alec and Mary Peden, the Thiess Family and the Burenda Team we hope you have all had a reasonable summer and have been enjoying the high cattle prices. The weather has been kind to us since Xmas and the Dalby Downs properties are looking the best they have been in a while. The leuceana and grass pastures have grown well and our winter oats is up and away ready for some more rain. We have catalogued 120 bulls for our Roma Bull Sale on Wednesday 23rd August 2017 and 45 and 25 bulls for the Clermont Bull Sale on the 5th of October These bulls are very well grown for their age and are supported by some outstanding EBV s, raw scan data, semen and morphology results. We are looking forward to the sales and our Open Day on the 1st August Burenda will offer 120 bulls for the annual Roma sale with 83 2 year old and month old bulls. Genetically these bulls represent some of Queensland s best bulls on offer with progeny by some of Australia s best AI sires. Some of these sires and the number of sons in the sale include 22 Te Mania Emperor E343 9 KC Haas GPS 9 PA Power Tool Prime Juggernaut J15 5 Connealy Mentor Aryvale Hercules H9 4 Ayrvale Bartel E7 We are excited to offer a number of sons by our Burenda sires 11 Burenda Go Between G23 9 Burenda Geiger Counter G49 5 Burenda Hammerhead H73 4 Burenda Haiku H40 2 Burenda Jaunty J74 Recent sale averages for Burenda Go Between G23 of $9041 Roma 2016 & $8000 Clermont 2016, Burenda Geiger Counter G49 of $8000 Roma 2016, Burenda Roma Bull Sale 23rd August 2017 $5833 Clermont 2016 & $8333 Blackall 2017, and Burenda Haiku H40 of $11333 Clermont 2016 support our breeding programs for improved fertility and carcase traits. We must keep striving to improve the quality of the bulls through selection for all traits, particularly fertility, calving ease, growth, rib & rump fats, eye muscle area and intramuscular fat as these are economically important traits. All Burenda breeders go through a regular program over a 12 month period and they must perform or they are gone. They must calve unassisted, rear a good calf to weaning, and get back in calf to either AI or the mop up sires. All females are pregnancy tested 40 days post joining with only a short joining period of 6-8 weeks including the AI program. Hence the majority of our sale bulls are from breeders with a proven ACI (Actual Calving Interval) of around 365 days. We feel that our herd fertility overall is exceptional and we now need to advance further with our carcase qualities whilst we maintain structure and phenotype. Interestingly you will find that a good run of our top sale bulls come out of our first, second and third calf breeders which is encouraging to see as these younger breeders are our most current genetics which also supports our breeding philosophy.

For the second year in a row Burenda supported the Dalby Stock Horse Sale 5th December 2016 Burenda trucked in 242 and heifers for the annual Dalby Stock Horse sale over the two days. The heifers were put through their paces with a large number of horses catalogued. The weekend overall was a huge success for both the cattle and the riders. AI Program May head of autumn calving cows and heifers were put through a synchronized AI program with all females participating smoothly. Some of the AI sires used in this program were Te Mania Garth G67, Te Mania Emperor E343, Sydgen Black Pearl, EF Compliment, Aryvale Hercules H9, Pathfinder Genesis G357 and Clunie Range Kaluha K330. We will continue using AI sires Suhn s Distinction and Southern Deal Maker in the females as we are getting some top offspring from these sires. AI Program October/November 2017 Over 1000 & breeders will go through a fixed time AI program over 4 weeks. On completion of the programs we select around 30 of our best performing yearling bulls to cover the return cows by natural service. We find these yearling bulls work very well with a solid work ethic and very few breakdowns. It can be challenging for them as quite often the return cycles of the females can come in a condensed few days due to the AI program. The results from using the lead 30 bulls each year has been rewarding. The benefits are improved genetics as these bulls are our best and most current. Fewer break downs due to being younger bulls, lower biosecurity risks and a great way to progeny test some of the bulls we offer at our sales. Pg 7

Even with the seasonal conditions being relatively dry and the breeders running on African Lovegrass country the weaners weighed in well at 5-7 months of age and the cows were still in strong condition. A run of 60 weaner steers sold at the Dalby saleyards 27th April for a healthy $4.33/kg to return $923.67/head. There are over 15 Burenda Go Between sons catalogued in this year s Roma and Clermont bull sales. We are finding his progeny to be very docile and good soft doing cattle that contain the carcase and fertility traits that commercial cattleman need. A Magnificent run of replacement x Santa heifers at Palyah which will be joined in spring to Burenda Black bulls. Burenda would like to acknowledge the support of the below businesses over the last year for supporting Burenda Holdings as they play a integral part in the operations of the Burenda and Studs and farming.
