"This is an interesting topic with some thoughtful contributions by Lachlan and Sam.
Despite some limitations, we think that $indices are probably the best single figures for promotion to commercial breeders. Commercial buyers are looking…"

Crookwell Show report
The season has been the best for some years and entries to the Commercial and Prime Cattle section at Crookwell Show on Saturday 12 February reflected this. The judge, Steve Ridley of Elders Goulburn, was presented with cattle in prime condition for his scrutiny. There were 69 cattle entered by 13 exhibitors across Angus, Hereford, Limousin, Murray Grey and Santa Gertrudis breeds plus crossbreds. At Crookwell Show the commercial cattle always attract a good crowd of interested and…See More
Rod Hoare & Helena Warren replied to Kate James's discussion The Opportunities in 2011
"I agree with Kate that we start a new thread which is looking at opportunities. Leave the discussions to this thread.
We do need to consider our limitations prior to developing a market strategy.
For example, there is little point…"

"Thanks for the support, Kay.
Yesterday I sent an email to MGBCS which says, in part:
"I thoroughly support doing more advertising but there needs to be a marketing strategy at Board level to focus and direct our overall approach.…"
Rod Hoare & Helena Warren replied to Kate James's discussion The Opportunities in 2011
"Running a large broadly based advertising campaign would be very expensive and somewhat ineffective. It seems to me that the breed needs a multifaceted strategy that has specific and targeted goals for important sectors that impact on our…"
Rod Hoare & Helena Warren replied to Neil and Jo-anne Southorn's discussion Pestivirus

Open Day Report - Cadfor Murray Greys The forecast said rain but ourOpen Day, Sunday 1st August, started fine and sunny, helping to dry out muddy yards. The first visitor arrived at 9.15 and the second not long after. We took the opportunity to take some photos because the clouds looked ominous. The third visitor made up his mind quickly and we had one bull sold. He is a commercial breeder who is now looking for some commercial Grey cows. The cars started arriving more frequently as the clouds…See More
Neil and Jo-anne Southorn replied to Rod Hoare & Helena Warren's discussion pinkeye
"Hi
Pink eye was never a huge issue for us but always had a few cases which seemed to get the best animals and at the most inconvenient time. We always try to join silver to grey and vice versa so our pigment is good. We did not notice a difference…"

"Hi Rod and Helena,
The last visitor has left, the dust has settled, and you have settled into your chair....How did the day go? Any feedback from your visitors? Hope it all went well for you both.

Dennis allen replied to Rod Hoare & Helena Warren's discussion pinkeye
"We used Piliguard last year with very little success. Investigating as to why this happened, we found that Piliguard is only effective against one of the strains of pinkeye. We are hoping for a better season this time."
