8 Heifers go t0 Cluskers Square Meaters, A.C.T.
With 27 heifers and two bulls for sale in September, we had a delightful visit from Su McCluskey of Cluskers early in the month.
Yes, Su arrived one Sunday morning having flown from Canberra to Melbourne, and drove to the farm in spite of torrential rains, fallen trees and flooding roads! She spent several hours with us and closely examined all the stock for sale. A very wet trip around the farm enabled her to view the breeding herd and the bulls as well.
Su and Bob purchased 8 lovely heifers sired by our own Misty Meadows Bounty B7A, Woolaringa Yarra Y73A and Woolaringa Bob B54A. We always learn from others when they visit the farm, and this was certainly the case from Su McCluskey who is a fountain of cattle knowledge. Thank you Su.
19 Heifers and a Bull to Dunmore Park Square Meaters, Bridgewater, Vic.
A week later, new SMCAA members Rachael Fletcher and Lyn Young of Dunmore Park Square Meaters, along with their family, arrived to view the heifers. It was refreshing to meet them, and their excitement for the breed - contagious! They purchased 19 Misty Meadows heifers - with great bloodlines from Woolaringa and Kelkette Park.
Rachael and Lyn have also taken ownership of a young bull, Misty Meadows Erik E48, showing good form for his age, and genetics from the champion WGA Leane S18 thru sire WGA Yarra, and dam WGA Leane X30 who was a junior champion. We wish them every success in their new Square Meaters venture.
Misty Meadow's WGA Bob B54A to Bricklewood Square Meaters, Vic.
Several interested parties called about Bob the "gentleman" bull, but it was Bambi Quigley with a good eye for a bull who put Bob thru his paces before deciding he was to be a new sire at Bricklewood in NE Victoria. It was a pleasure meeting Bambi, and we wish her and Joan every success with WGA Bob.
