Genestar Stars for Roma Bulls

Well, we finally received our Genestar results for the Bimbadeen bulls being prepared for the Roma Brangus Bull sale...
Stars are allotted for Marbling, Tenderness and Feed Efficiency.
Let's see how our boys went:


LOT 1 SOLD
BIMBADEEN Q QUOTA


A 12 star bull!

...

LOT 2 SOLD

BIMBADEEN Q QUIZ

A 16 star bull!

...

LOT 3 SOLD

BIMBADEEN QUARTZ A 16 star bull!

...

LOT 4 SOLD

BIMBADEEN QUEENSLANDER

A 12 star bull!

...

Talk about some all-rounders... we are delighted with these results. Not only does the Bimbadeen team get more confirmation that our selection choices over many decades are being proven by the latest in technology markers, but Roma Brangus Sale buyers get the chance to hands on some wonderful proven genetics.

Last year our 14 star bull, the outstanding Bimbadeen Pride attracted lots of interest at the Rocky Brangus Sale. It's great to see our subsequent calving years have maintained his high standards!

Hoping to catch you at Roma next week.

(Make sure you get there early on Friday!)

Cheers

Welcome to the Bimbadeen Blog!

Welcome... we are just settling in to our new virtual home here at Bimbadeen Q.
Do you like our new look?
On this page (the "blog" which is short for "web log") we hope to bring you the latest news and some photos of the happenings around our enterprise...
We'll share some images of our paddock bulls ...
And events like taking our weaners out (especially when it rains!)...

We love it when it rains...

(Note: You can also see this image on the cover of the latest Brangus magazine!)

We might bring you some interactions between our black and red bovine buddies, and our little "helpers"...

And some of our sales stories and clients (like Bimbadeen Pride and new owner Don Gordon, pictured here with Grant after the Rocky Brangus Sale last year).
.
We are still setting up here, and look forward to bringing you updates, information and images from our place here in Central Queensland.

This is an interactive page, so you can comment (either by clicking the comment button below or sending us an email by clicking on the button at the top right of this page) and let us know what you would like to see here! We'd also love to hear where you are from and if you have a cattle enterprise too.
