Dear Fellow Brahman Breeders Thank
you to our valued clients for your ongoing support over the past twelve
months. We look forward to another exciting year ahead. Dr George Jacobs and his wife Janice were
very fortunate to travel to India last December, where they had the opportunity
to see old-style farming in tribal villages in the Western Ghats in Southern
India. The villagers still use Zebu
cattle to pull the ploughs and till the soil.
Photographs of these cattle can be viewed on our website www.mogulstud.com.au
through the home page link to Indian cattle. On the home front, we were delighted by our
most successful Rockhampton Brahman Week Sale results in October 2003. We sold five bulls for an average of $8,600,
with the top price being $16,000 for Mogul Nike. At the 2004 Sydney Royal Easter Show our
dominance of the performance classes continued, with Mogul Oakwood and Mogul
Patriot Manso winning the two classes. Mogul
Oakwood, weighing 1118kg at 35 months, won the Senior and Grand Champion
Brahman Bull awards. Mogul Stud Manager, Glen Pfeffer, collected
the best individual Brahman herdsman award for the 19th time and was
placed third overall in the entire beef section. In the Hordern Trophy, Brahmans were
included in the final line up of five breeds.
Mogul Oakwood and Bizzy Chrissie formed the team for this interbreed
Champion of Champions pair competition. Congratulations to the Western Group for
their successful staging of feature shows at Warialda and Guyra. We were delighted to be there, and take home
several trophies. Glen Pfeffer was given the honour of
judging the 2004 Queensland Brahman Feature Show, which was held at Longreach. The response to our participation in “The
Land” inaugural Northern Beef Week Open Day program in June 2004 was
extremely gratifying. It is good to see
new initiatives such as these making an impact. The interest generated by the arrival of
our first calves by Mr Fontenot 125 (Imp.) has been very pleasing. These red calves are very
stylish and developing rapidly.
Photographs of some of these calves were contained in our advertisement
in the March 2004 “Brahman News” and may also be viewed on our
website. Our former show champion Mogul Maseratti
has produced an impressive, balanced line of red bulls and females. JJ Cuatro Didor 919 (Imp.) has produced
grey calves showing excellent carcase attributes combined with strong Brahman
character. For the current season we have introduced
the new sires Lancefield D Kayle Manso and Kenrol Montana. Both of these have full Hudgins breeding. We
have an excellent range of cattle available for your inspection on property
this year.
Sires represented include Apis Creek Brayson, Glengarry Reno, Jay-W Sir
Bruce, Jay-W Dos Press Junior, Mogul Kama and Mogul Maseratti. Mogul Performance Brahmans are committed to
adding value for our clients by utilising technological innovations such as Breedplan
and Genestar tenderness testing.
See our website at www.mogulstud.com.au for more details. We welcome your enquiries. Our gate is always open to our valued
clientele and new breeders. MOGUL NEWSLETTER JULY 2004
