Love the chill attitude of these young bulls......but it does make getting good conformation photos difficult 😂

Very excited to (belatedly) report that there are now 2 Charbray bulls who have made their way into commercial beef herds in Tassie!

Maravillar Tas took one last spin around the show ring at the Huonville Show, where he was bought and delivered on our way home. This guy spent the majority of show day relaxing in the shade, getting countless pats from members of the public and didn't once bat an eye.

Meanwhile Maravillar Trigger has some solid calves on the ground, out of dairy x charolais cows. He has also been used over some dairy x belties and we're looking forward to updates when those girls calve later in the year

Another Bushy Park Show done and dusted!
The Tas and Vegas started the day in the show ring with Sarah, each placing 2nd in their respective classes.

They then joined me at the animal nursery, where they recieved lots of scratches and compliments on their behaviour from show patrons.

...and just like that it's weaning time.

Looking forward to watching these guys develop and hopefully taking a few out and about on the Tassie show circuit at the end of the year!

Today marks 3 years since Wattlebray Pin Up arrived in Tassie

Welcome to Tassie Wattlebray PinUp! So excited to finally meet this big guy in person. Even after travelling all the way from Queensland he's laid back and level headed, a real credit to his breeders the Ford family.

Thanks to Craig Dolinski and Paul for getting him safely to Victoria, and Page Transport for getting him across Bass Strait.

Looking forward to the arrival of his ladies and seeing how the Charbray breed performs in Tassie!

A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to have a chat with ABC Hobart's Tony Briscoe about how the Charbrays are going in Tassie.

Meanwhile Pin was a little too busy chasing a cow around the paddock to pose for a photo 😂

“Pin Up” the Charbray bull relocated from Queensland to Tasmania to help Derwent Valley farmer Lauren Burn build up a herd of Charbray cattle, a cross breed between Charolais and Brahman.

The young bull is doing very well in his new home, and is proving to be loved by the ladies.

Tune in to the County Hour with Tony Briscoe today from midday to hear Lauren Burn in conversation.

Brighton Show 2024 🌞

We took 3 animals out, each was awarded first place and champion in their respective section in the breed classes.

While we didn't make it into the top three in the Interbreed, we got some great feedback from the judge and had the chance to chat with many members of the public about the Charbray breed throughout the day.

I'm especially pleased with senior heifer Maravillar Toohey, who we only decided to halter break three weeks ago, she took everything in stride and was cool as a cucumber all day.

With recent warm weather Maravillar Vegas has shed out the last of his winter fluff and is looking sleek 😎

The humans on the other hand aren't sure about this 27°C business 🥵
