The Burenda Open Day is on-property at Dalby Downs, 203 Square Top Mt Road, Kiamkillenbun. It will be held on Tuesday August 1 with gates open from 8am to 4pm.
On display will be well over 600 head of cattle comprising 127 Roma Angus bulls, 45 Clermont Angus bulls and 28 Clermont Burenda Black bulls.
Smoke and lunch will be provided by the Burenda team.
These bulls have been prepared on Leucaena and grass pastures over the summer and are now on an oats crop for the sales.
Weights and scanning data, catalogues, semen and morphology data will all be available at our open day or online at www.burendaangus.com.au or for more details contact Jonathan on 0429 067 313 or schmidtjk@bigpond.com.
Of the 800 PTIC spring calving cows around 450 will be on display with over 350 calves already born in the last 10 days to AI. See our calving facilities, calf catcher and cattle yards where the AI is done and much more. The Burenda team will be more than happy to do a short property tour by car to view the property in general to gain a birds eye view of the Burenda Angus and Brangus operation. This will show the scale of our commitment to breeding fertile, functional cattle that perform across a range of commercial environments. To achieve this Burenda has concentrated on a short joining period to AI and natural bulls (6 to 8 weeks total), strict pregnancy testing at 40 days post joining, this removes less fertile females from the herd and provides us with a breeder herd of early calving, shorter gestation productive females. At calving all progeny are tagged and weighed at 200 days weaners are assessed for docility and weight, at 400 days they are weighed and scanned for Rib, Rump, EMA and IMF data and all this is recorded with Breedplan to produce our EBV’s. All the time we try to run these progeny in large contempory groups to achieve variation amongst the progeny to give meaning full data to Breedplan.
One lucky door prize of the Angus Australia Angus book and one bull credit for the guess the weight of Burenda Haiku H40 for use at either the Roma or Clermont 2017 sales will be given away.
The Burenda Team plus Alec and Mary Peden and the Thiess families will be present on the day.
