THE GLEN ANGUS & GREYS The Glen herd of cattle is situated in the Upper Murray region of North East Victoria, adjacent to the township of Walwa, which is 100 kms East of Albury/Wodonga.
Sires Represented:
Mervyn Gadd commenced The Glen herd of seedstock cattle in 1940, with 30 selected Angus heifers and a Grey bull. In 1962, the Murray Grey society was formed, and 80% of the straight-bred grey cattle in the first herd book were bred on The Glen. Mervyn retired as the principal of The Glen in 1985. Since that time, The Glen has been owned and managed by youngest son, Mike, and wife Joy. Mike is a fourth generation grazier and livestock breeder, and is also the current President of Angus Australia.
THE GLEN ECLIPSE D249
The Glen has consigned seedstock cattle to all Australian states on numerous occasions, as for North as Mareeba on the Atherton Tablelands, and as far North West as Julia Creek. The Glen has also exported live cattle and genetics to NZ, UK, USA, Canada, South Africa, Argentina, China, Japan, Russia and, most recently Kazakhstan. The Glen cattle have performed well in all of these environments. The Glen’s inaugural on property Annual Production sale was in 1971. The 43rd Annual Sale was conducted on the property “Glenview”, Walwa, Victoria on 20th September, 2013.

In 2003 The Glen commenced breeding registered Angus cattle with the purchase of the Mitta Valley registered Angus herd of 120 females, 20 females from Tibooburra Angus near Melbourne and 80 females from Landfall in Tasmania. Several smaller drafts of females were also purchased from other leading Angus seedstock herds. The Glen currently runs 300 Registered Angus breeders and 100 Grey breeders, which have been infused with modern Angus genetics along with a commercial herd. The focus of the breeding program has always been on efficient and profitable commercial beef production. The entire seedstock herd is diligently pedigree and performance recorded on Angus Breedplan, using the best performing modern Angus genetics with a strong focus on structural soundness, docility, growth and carcase merit.

The more we learn about your requirements the better we can meet them.
This year’s bulls have been specially selected to meet the Charleville districts market requirements. The traits focused on include doing ability, shape, calving ease, tight sheaths and good skin type making them suitable for either cross breeding or pure bred operations. The unseen bonus our bulls provide is an ability to improve carcass performance in their progeny which fits nicely in herds where MSA grading off grass is required. Strong EBV data suggests that the sons of sires Te Mania Africa, R/M Ironstone and Alpine B78 certainly fit this bill without sacrificing growth and frame. Murdeduke will offer 20 rising two year old bulls at this year’s Charleville sale. Sires used in the sale team include Te Mania Africa, Te Mania Ada, Apline Beauregard B78 and Merridale sires CMDC35 and CMDA4. Imported sires R/M Ironstone and Highlander of Stern also feature. The sale team will be presented with full Breed Plan figures, will have been independently vet checked (including semen morphology) and structurally assessed allowing you to make your selections with confidence. We have followed Pfizer’s Star quality assurance program so the team will have undergone full 7 in 1, Vibrio and Pestiguard vaccination programs. The bulls have also been Blooded but not vaccinated for 3 day sickness. We are more than happy to visit both existing and potential clients prior to the sale. Please feel free to call to organise a visit or discuss this year’s offering.

Banquet bulls will add length and width to your calves. Therefore more weight and more dollars. “These bulls have been selected especially for the conditions in Central Queensland. They have fine hair and soft skins to help acclimatise. More bone, stronger heads and deeper bodies mean they are superior for crossing over both Bos Indicus and Bos Taurus cows.
