"Hi
I wasn't thinking of the genetic diseases that have recently been found in the Angus as they shouldn't be in MG's but something else unknown that is lurking. The Angus people didn't know of these until they…"

"Very valid points, cost-benefit of any data set needs to be established and as Lachlan has pointed out; if a better method exists, eg identifying DNA markers for genetic-disease-carries then we should adopt industry best practice. Conversely, we are…"

"Would question the use of an inbreeding herd as a case for identifying any recessive diseases. Two reasons, the idea of test programs is to identify elite young <3yr old sires, thus to implement an inbreeding herd would require daughters etc…"

"Hi,
There are plenty of points to iron out, the main area is to see that we are genetically progressing the breed in commercially important traits. It will be difficult with limited data on some of the bulls that may have superior traits but…"

This sounds interesting particularly as the BIN seems to have flopped. Would like it all spelt out further eg how are young bulls to test chosen? how many? how many straws are required for those in programme? …"

Sam Owen replied to Neil and Jo-anne Southorn's discussion $ Indices
"All,
I feel the trend and the momentum behind Index Values will continue as it has/is with other breeding programs (dairy, pork, and poultry). It is unfortunate that we do not measure all the parameters that are associated with improving margin and…"

Update on Bundaleer True Blue in Tasmania
Rob Wilson (Wiltshire Murray Grey Stud, Tasmania) has recently updated us that Bundaleer True has settled in well to his new home is Tasmania. Rob mentioned '...he looks a treat, he is massive and really stacked on the condition when the feed was put in front of him...' We trust both Murfield and Wiltshire will have some superb calves on the ground in the latter part of 2011.This comes on the back of Bundaleer True Blue being exchanged for Murfield Apache in early 2010. Both bulls have…See More

Bundaleer Breeding Objective
To produce bulls that are frame score 5-7, ‘B’ muscled and have an easy doing constitution.
Our selection criteria goes beyond this with heavy emphasis placed on fertility, structural soundness, temperament, calving ease, Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) and DNA markers for tenderness and marbling.
For our commercial clients, this means they can target their choice of market in Western Australia with more confidence, knowing they have the depth of pedigree required to sire a consistent line of cattle.

Fiona Glover said… Hi Sam!
Ryevale park Rochelle's ident is RVP Z6. She was winner of the baby class at the 2005 Royal Sydney Murray Grey Feature Show, and has continued her success since she has been a cow. I am looking forward to taking her to the 2012 Murray Grey Feature at melbourne Royal. (might even take old Lady Jane (RVP P11).
Sorry if this isn't the right way to write a reply.... I have the "L" plates on!!
Cheers, Fiona
