Nampara – Commercial, consistent and buyer-driven NAMPARA’S on-property bull sale to be held on Tuesday, February 17 at 4.30pm is one part of a 15,000 head mixed sheep and 2000 head cattle commercial operation. With its commercial focus Nampara bulls offer buyers an affordable selection of big, heavily-muscled bulls with strength of bone and shape concentrating on daily gain, finishing ability and fertility. Prospective buyers will have the opportunity to view the bulls at the Mortlake Saleyards on Tuesday, February 3 as part of the Victorian Beef Week and then again onproperty on Tuesday, February 10 as part of the SA Beef Field Days. In a first, Nampara will have a selection of spring-calving females for sale at the field days, providing an opportunity to secure some of Nampara’s stud female genetics. This year’s consistent draft of 65 sale bulls are by sires including Raff Empire, Raff Explosive, Wittalocka Freightliner F76, Aberdeen Estate Fokker and Nampara E40. With a focus on grass-fed attributes the bulls will be competitive weights come sale day, are supported by above average performance figures, both Breedplan data and actual measurements and have been semen tested. All sale bulls are guaranteed into their second working season and are well-known for their temperament. • Nampara Freightline J24. Nampara-bred livestock are sought after in the marketplace. In the last 12 months Namparablood steers out of the Dartmoor area were consistently among the “pick pens” of steers in the winter store sales at Mount Gambier. Similarly, Nampara-finished loads of steers at JBS averaged up to $1430 this season. At Nampara, females must get in calf by two years of age, calve unassisted and raise a calf annually. For the sixth consecutive year Nampara heifers have secured top price at the Naracoorte PTIC Female Sale. Entering the January 29 sale again this year with 300 head, buyers are guaranteed of a better, bigger and more consistent line of replacement females. Nampara continues to seek out sire lines that deliver under commercial conditions. The stud aims to produce a consistent product that has a no- frills approach with a simple aim to breed bulls with bone, muscle and quiet temperament. Nampara are proud of the product they produce and invite inspection at the field days on February 3 at Mortlake, February 10 on-property, or at any time as well as from 2.00pm on sale day, February 17. Sale catalogues can be picked up on the field days or by contacting Natalie Hann on 0428 799 592. Hazeldean achieves impressive milestone NEW South Wales farming enterprise Hazeldean Litchfield marks its 150th anniversary this year. It is a significant achievement for one family to leave such a lasting impression on Australia’s agricultural sector. Hazeldean Angus is part of Hazeldean Litchfield, a pastoral enterprise owned and operated by the Litchfield family since 1865. It is one of the largest Angus seedstock operations in Australia, selling over 400 bulls throughout Australia each year. In 2008, Hazeldean Angus established a joint venture in South Australia with Guy and Sarah Cunningham. A herd of 200 Hazeldean females selected by Guy was despatched to their property at Willalooka in order to breed the sale bulls and future breeders for South Australia. The herd has more than 300 cattle and the Hazeldean SA bull sale continues to grow, held and operated by the Cunninghams at Gumbowie in mid February. Mr Cunningham has worked in partnership with Hazeldean for a number of years. “It is certainly an impressive achievement to celebrate 150 years for the Litchfield family,” he said. Mr Cunningham owns his own property and handles Angus bulls, which are sold in February. “We usually sell our bulls during Beef Week and are currently trialling some new genetics,” he said. “We try to keep consistent each year with our bulls and that often gives us a lot of recognition from buyers who are happy with their purchases.” Mr Cunningham said the quality of the Angus on their property often needed to meet customers’ expectations and entice buyers to return the following year. “We have a few loyal buyers who often return to purchase bulls each year,” he said. “I think our selection of younger bulls encourages a lot of buyers to attend our sales as they can select a bull and watch it grow into the perfect sire.” PMoyleATHFINDER ... just a small sample from our 250 quality bulls - 2015 sales SA Bull Sale 19th Feb 11am & VIC Bull Sale 25th Feb 11am on properties CHECK OUT OUR CATALOGUE & THIS GREAT LINE-UP OF GROWTHY BULLS - SA FIELD DAY 10TH FEB - VIC FIELD DAY 3RD FEB PATHFINDER DINKY DI J802 BW +7.0 600 +144 SS +3.5 EMA +6.4 FAT -0.9 IMF +2.0 AB +138 PATHFINDER DOCKLANDS J112 BW +4.6 600 +126 SS +3.2 EMA +7.2 FAT +1.5 IMF +1.4 AB +127 PATHFINDER DOCKLANDS J44 BW +3.4 600 +118 SS +2.7 EMA +7.0 FAT +1.0 IMF +1.9 AB +129 PATHFINDER JACKPOT J96 BW +3.8 600 +125 SS +2.4 EMA +6.6 FAT -0.3 IMF +1.9 AB +127 PATHFINDER DAIQUIRI J301 BW +3.9 600 +126 SS +3.2 EMA +7.1 FAT +1.6 IMF +2.3 AB +139 PATHFINDER BARTEL J799 BW +3.7 600 +118 SS +2.4 EMA +8.2 FAT +1.0 IMF +1.9 AB +120 PATHFINDER EQUATOR J801 BW +6.0 600 +152 SS +2.6 EMA +6.5 FAT -1.3 IMF +0.6 AB +131 PATHFINDER DOCKLANDS J235 BW +2.9 600 +105 SS +1.9 EMA +10.0 FAT +0.6 IMF +1.2 AB +119 PATHFINDER DOCKLANDS J217 BW +6.0 600 +139 SS +3.1 EMA +8.5 FAT -0.8 IMF +1.2 AB +134 PATHFINDER FRANKEL J993 BW +7.4 600 +142 SS +3.0 EMA +8.0 FAT +0.0 IMF +1.3 AB +129 PATHFINDER BARTEL J1113 BW +4.9 600 +122 SS +2.0 EMA +8.1 FAT +0.7 IMF +1.7 AB +122 PATHFINDER DOCKLANDS J983 BW +4.0 600 +129 SS +3.3 EMA +7.3 FAT +1.3 IMF +1.3 AB +129 NICK & SARA MOYLE, PHONE/FAX (03) 5576 8514 • 0417 802 218 • 0419 557 688 • EMAIL: moyles@skymesh.com.au • www.moylepathfinder.com LANDMARK: DAVID HEINRICH 0428 933 516 - ROBERT LOVELL 0418 528 236 32 - The Border Watch Beef Focus 2015 660598
