2009 postcard

We're back!

As the boys get stuck into the '09 brand (we are about halfway through as this post goes up) Amanda has been busy with the camera.

2009 promises to be an exciting year both for Bimbadeen and for the Brangus breed in Australia. We are delighted with the fall of calves this year, as the Bimbadeen stud enters its 53rd year of breeding Brangus cattle. We are also lucky to have had a reasonable start to the year with a couple of inches rain falling across our Eidsvold properties. The cattle are certainly enjoying the grass, and are looking shiny and content.

The team at Bimbadeen watch with interest as the ABCA takes over as hosts for the World Congress (officially taking over from Uraguay later on this year). The event will be held in 2012 and will bring breeders from all over the world to our shores. A couple of us will help out with this massive project, ably led by Mr Ian Galloway of Duarran. With so many talented people involved in our breed and in the organisation of this congress, it is an exciting time to be a Brangus breeder!

We hope all you cattle breeders are enjoying some good weather too, and look forward to catching up with you at Beef 2009 in Rockhampton in May (if not before).

Cheers

The Bimbadeen Team
