Hello and welcome to our 9th Annual Sale and thank you once again for taking the time to read our catalogue and for considering the Cree Stud for the purchase of your next sire/s.

We have been very fortunate again this year having benefited from another very good season, and our country coming into Winter has a good body of feed for the second year in a row. We used the opportunity to spell our grass country for a few months prior to weaning and moved the cow and calf units into the leucaena paddocks to maximise its production in an effort to control overgrowth. When the cows were finished, we introduced a forestry mulcher to regenerate the stands to a more manageable level.

The trifecta of cattle prices, interest rates and seasons that have been experienced, and enjoyed, over the last few years appear to be over. Cattle prices and interest rates are both facing over correction as we head into what looks like a contractionary phase in the economy.

Fortunately, Santa Gertrudis remains as a very viable option maintaining flexibility and market suitability across such a wide range of markets. At 38% bos indicus content, Santa Gertrudis retains the maximum content for adaptability whilst maintaining access to all market options. Whether it be long or short fed feedlot preparations for Export, EU, Woolworths or Coles, or grass fed finishing off pasture, or the sale of feeder steers and heifers. A truly versatile option in a time of market uncertainty and increasing input costs.

With the ever-increasing price of input costs, it is crucial to ensure any expenditure realises a positive gain within your agribusiness.

Essentially there are two ways to achieve this in a beef breeding operation. Genetic change and management change. Increasing profitability through management practices invariably comes with raised input costs. Buying bulls, whilst a necessary yearly management cost, can be capitalised on by careful bull selection using “quantified performance through validated genetics”.

By that, I mean quantified, meaningful performance claims, backed by years of data collection and recording, and validated through DNA parentage and genomic evaluation.

It is for that reason the last 23 years have seen us build up a dedicated breeding program for fertility, docility, balance, and moderation. It has been our objective to mitigate risk by producing genetics capable of lifting performance across the range of profit driving traits simultaneously, namely growth, fertility, and carcass without compromising other equally important phenotypic attributes.

Our focussed genetic selection, comprehensive measuring, and complimentary joining program over that same 23-year period has progressed our herd to where we are now seeing “predicted positive performance” in animals across multiple, sometimes contradictory, traits.

Our drive in the pursuit of this goal has seen our herd achieve the highest “5 star” rating with BREEDPLAN, which is awarded for quantity and quality of trait information submitted for analysis.

Outside of these performance obligations are the management pressures we apply to our breeding females to develop an efficient reproductive herd. Yearling heifers are joined at 12 to 15 months of age, for period of 60 days. Only those that get pregnant, have their calf, and rebreed the following season, are presented for classification and graduate into the main herd. The main breeder herd is joined for a 90-day period.

The early puberty and subsequent fertility traits are evident in quite a number of the bulls on offer this year. This year we have catalogued 84 bulls with many demonstrating this comprehensive balance of performance indicators. Whether it is more growth, more muscle, more fat, more calves, lighter calves or early puberty, a combination can be found to enhance your breeding objective.

The average Cree sale bull this year is in the top 10% of the breed for puberty, top 15% for 600-Day growth, and top 30% for days to calving and EMA, which results in an average Export Index in the top 15% of the breed at $34.

The King and Ferrero legacy through Northerly, Normandy and Nemesis are strongly represented again this year and appear in over half the pedigrees in one form or another, often combining in some of the stronger performing animals.

Nacho, Ponga, Papalii and Jackaroo are also ably represented, as are the first sons of Quicksilver and Quickdraw.

The catalogue again features the EBV bar graph for simplified analysis of each bull’s performance. This information is provided to assist in your selection processes for the most suitable genetic package for your business, and mitigates some of the risk in selecting for single trait gain.

We welcome once again our settling agents Kellco Rural Agencies, and Elders Biloela.

Inspections are welcome at any time, so please contact us or the above agents if you require any further information or assistance.

We are available to assist you in the selection of suitable bulls for purpose, be that heifer joining, docility, carcase, or any other stipulations or parameters you may have.

We look forward to catching up with you on sale day or before.

Kind Regards,

Shaun & Jo McGuigan

ORIGIN of the CREE NAME

In 2018, Jo, Jed and I travelled to the United Kingdom for a pilgrimage back to the roots of the Cree name.

We started by visiting the Cree Lodge Racing Stables on Craigie Road behind the Ayr Racecourse in Southern Scotland. The Ayr Racecourse is the premier racetrack in Scotland and is home to the Scottish Grand National and the Ayr Gold Cup. Unfortunately, we were about three weeks early for the Grand National.

The restored house was still there, but the stables, converted for housing, were replaced with multi-level residences and renamed Cree Lodge Court. It was the home of my Great Grandfathers cousin, John McGuigan, in the early 1900s.

When my Great Grandfather emigrated to Australia circa 1890, they settled at Coffs Harbour and named their first place “Creeside.” The name has been a part of the McGuigan cattle and country scene in Australia.

My grandfather’s dairy farm at Westbrook, Toowoomba, was named “Cree Farm,” my grandmother’s house in Toowoomba was simply “Cree”, and my parents called one of their properties on the Lawgi plateau “Cree Vista.”

Cree comes from the river Cree, which travels from Loch Moan through Newton Stewart below the Galloway Hills and enters the Solway Firth at Creetown. We stayed at the Creebridge House Hotel and drank at the Cree Inn to round the trip.

Shaun & Jo feel very privileged to display brands on the Cree Pub wall. These brands provide a historical record of the properties where the Cree sires have gone to.

If your brand isn't displayed and you would like to be a part of the history at Cree, please bring your branded board with you to the sale.

Branding boards will also be available on sale day if you haven't received one.

Cree Bridge

John McGuigan's home, Cree Lodge, Ayr

1930 John Richard (Dick) McGuigan ran Hereford cattle on predominately open forest country at “Kooyong” Monto in the North Burnett. In the early 1940s, they purchased a line of Hereford cows from the Hutchinson family of “Woolton Station”, Theodore, who sold a line of stud bulls yearly alongside their commercial operation.

C.1943 These were the foundation breeders and a line of stud cows and heifers purchased from Ernie Zillman from the Old Rawbelle Poll Hereford Stud Eidsvold. Stud bulls were also sourced from the Brisbane Exhibition stud sales.

1952 Tom Pownall (Dick’s brotherin-law) purchased a Santa Gertrudis bull from “Risdon” Warwick at the first Santa Gertrudis sale and began crossbreeding with Herefords.

1956 William John McGuigan (John) joined the partnership and saw the benefits of the crossbred Santa Gertrudis/Hereford provided for his Uncles Tom and Geoff Pownall.

1967 John & Merriel purchased 2 Santa Gertrudis bulls from Eidsvold Station and 9 used Gyranda bulls from Geoff Pownall. A limited number of purebred bulls were available due to the grading-up time frame, demand, and the imports’ closing. Three Brahman bulls were also obtained to review the remaining purebred Herefords to speed up adaptability.

1963 John’s brother Bruce travelled to New Zealand to meet his future wife, Jan Thompson.

1970 Bruce learnt the art of pregnancy testing from his brotherin-law, a vet. Pregnancy Testing was introduced into the “Kooyong” herd and continues today at Cree 50+ years later.

1992 Shaun & Jo joined the partnership and began the gradingup program selecting the best quality cows from 1000 commercial “Kooyong” females founding the “Cree” stud herd.

1999 Began performance recording (BREEDPLAN) with ABRI. *Mothering up and assigning sires began.

2000 Cree stud was registered with the classification of the first 3x females. Cree joined Group Breedplan, measuring the herds, growth, fertility and carcass traits.

2012 Introduced Farm Biosecurity.

2020 4 ½ star rating for Completeness of Recording.

2021 Tissue samples collected from Sale bulls and sires for Geonomics and testing for Pompes and Pestivirus.

2022 Shortened the seasonal joining to 12 weeks for breeders and 60 days for yearling heifers.

2023 5 star rating for Completeness of Performance recording.

Cree bulls are from a herd that is accurately recorded and publicised.

Cree consists of 1000 head with 400 Stud females grazing at “Kiah”, “ Blue Haven”, and “Westrock” in the Lawgi Dawes area near Thangool. Family owned and managed by Shaun & Jo McGuigan with assistance from their two sons, Jake and Jed, at “The Meadows and “4 Winds” in the Jambin/Biloela area.

Jake, his wife Kathleen, and our grandchildren Malia and Weston live at "The Meadows" near Jambin, overseeing and share farming the irrigation, hay growing, and fattening country.

Jed, a qualified Commercial Heavy Vehicle Mechanic and Auto Electrician, lives with his partner Tayla and our grandchildren Jarel and Olah live at “Four Winds”, an additional alluvial black soil fattening/farming and irrigation

block at Jambin where Jed also owns and operates McGuigan & Co, a local transport business for stock, hay and general freight.

We take pride in the management process, which shows in our 5 star rating, for performance recording with BREEDPLAN. We have been objectively recording for over 20+ years. All information is recorded via live entry at the cattle yards on Stock book

software to promote accuracy and efficiency and eliminate errors due to double handling. This is particularly important with collecting TSU samples for DNA and Genomics applications. The stud is managed with a commercially orientated focus, breeding functional and sound cattle that can rear a calf with good weaner weights, re-breed each year, and do this regardless of season and environment.

MANAGEMENT | NOVEMBER & DECEMBER

Cree’s management process begins in November, with seasonal joining allowing us to pressure our females.

The Cree sires are joined to aged cows from 10th November to 14th February, allowing all females to finish calving by 1st December each year.

Yearling heifers are joined for 60 days from late December to early February. They range from 12–15 months at

joining, and this practice identifies early pubertal genetics. We have exercised ovarian scanning before joining in the past but found the presence of a Corpus Luteum in all except one heifer. With that information, we let nature make the selection.

The heifers that are multiple joined calve out in September and October. The calves are recorded the day they are born and weighed, ear tagged, and a TSU is taken to be sent away for sire DNA verification. The following year

they are presented for classification if positively rebred with a weaner at foot. These dams are now in line with the rest of the breeding herd.

This system provides early puberty with ease of calving, milking, and mothering ability and, most importantly, eliminates the likelihood of covert genetic occurrences such as lactation anoestrus. All calves are recorded at birth, and a branding, tagging and vaccination round is completed before Christmas.

CREE MANAGEMENT and OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT | JANUARY & FEBRUARY

400-Day Weights are completed, Scrotal Circumference and Flight Time information is collected for the whole cohort of yearling bulls and sent to ABRI for analyses.

We select potential sale bulls and draft off to have TSU samples taken and sent away for DNA analysis, (BVDV) Pestivirus, Pompes, Horn/ Poll, Parentage and Parentage and 50 K SNP for Genomics. These carefully selected bulls are returned to grass

and leucaena pastures at “Kiah”. The undesirables are castrated and trucked to “The Meadows” to fatten on leucaena and grass.

The second and final round of calf branding and 2nd Vaccinations are administered with an NLIS tag.

February is the end of the Cree mating season, so all sires are taken out from all females and spelled in grass pastures until their annual Semen Morphology test in the following June.

MANAGEMENT | APRIL & MAY

Weaning is either April or May, depending on the season and available feed. All breeding females are weighed (Mature Cow Weight) with the calf-at-foot (200-Day Weight) on the same day and then weaned. Cows will also be pregnancy tested, and any positives are bang-tailed, with any failures ring-tailed and trucked to “The Meadows” for fattening.

Yearling heifers are weighed for 600Day Weights, pregnancy tested and scanned for the Carcass traits being EMA, Rib, Rump and IMF. Again, any empties are trucked to fatten at “The Meadows”.

Managing disease is a priority; therefore, seasonal joining and vaccinating for 7:1, Pestivirus and Vibrio is necessary. At pregnancy testing, a yearly booster of 7:1 and Pesti is administered to all breeding females. One paddock is mustered each day during weaning time. We yard them and muster another paddock to test and weigh - saving costs on feeding weaners in the yards and

MANAGEMENT | APRIL & MAY

providing handling and training. As each paddock is yarded, we graze the weaners out from the day before in laneways and small holding paddocks while the new mob is processed through the yards. The calves from the first paddock weaned have been let out and yarded 7 or 8 times by the end of the weaning process, and most of the handling is complete.

After weaning, all calves are drenched, with potential breeding heifers vaccinated for Vibrio and Pestivirus and turned out to grow on grass pastures.

During April/May, all the potential sale Bulls are drafted and identified as Auction sale bulls, drafted into smaller mobs, and moved into closer grass and leucaena paddocks for sale preparation. 600-Day Weight and scans for the Carcass traits being EMA, Rib, Rump, and IMF measured by David Reid (Accredited scanner).

CREE MANAGEMENT and OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT | JUNE

With three months to go until Cree Bull Sale, all eligible bulls are presented for classification. The paddock bulls graze on leucaena and grass and are also now available for sale anytime. The sale team includes private sale bulls, and the Cree sires are semen tested (% norm sperm).

Ced Wise, Artificial Breeding Services is an Australian Accredited Vet. Ced examines all bulls internally, measuring the scrotal circumference and then taking a crush side semen sample and measuring motility. A semen sample is taken back to the laboratory at Rocky Repro for a morphology

test to count % normal sperm and to identify any defects.

An AACV certificate is processed on each bull and sent with all Cree bulls to the successful purchaser when delivered after the sale.

The bulls are also vaccinated on this day with a yearly booster for 3 Day, Vibrio, Pestivirus and IBR (Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis) which complies with Immune Ready Guidelines, providing an additional layer of security.

MANAGEMENT | JULY/AUGUST

FOCUS | SALE BULLS

We believe the leucaena environment in which the bulls are raised prepares them for the harsher environment they will encounter after the sale. Like brigalow and mulga-type country, the leucaena has a harsh stick base that tests the animal’s soundness regarding eyes, sheathes, testicles and feet.

The bulls are supplementary fed on a high roughage diet consisting of hay we grow ourselves, usually wheat, oats, barley, and millet. Our preparations are always at most 30% grain composition and are fed daily. We add pro-biotics and all essential trace elements for a healthy rumen.

The benefits of this are two-fold. Bulls still must forage in their paddocks, and because of the high roughage and low grain in the diet, their rumen maintains healthy bacteria able to turn grass into energy. This practice negates any letdown period after purchase and ensures their future soundness, physically and reproductively. Secondly, it allows us to control growth rates and present bulls in what we believe to be an optimum

working condition at around 1kg per day life gain.

Our goal at Cree is to provide future sires to stud and commercial operations that can simultaneously offer positive genetic gain across the range of profit-driving traits.

All bulls are sold with Quality Assurance, an AACV certificate with the complete breakdown of Morphology results and a health declaration.

We offer after-sale service, and delivery can be arranged. Sale Day Weights/ Carcass traits: EMA, Rump, Rib, and IMF scans are completed by David Reid.

Cree offers a sale catalogue online and a paper copy with transparent information on each animal. A supplementary sheet with Raw Data: Birth date, Fat scan: EMA, Rib, Rump, IMF, scrotal size, and % Norm Sperm is available one week before the sale. These bulls are offered for sale at the start of September on-property at “Kiah" Thangool.

Morphology testing

CREE MANAGEMENT and OPERATIONS

Most calves are born in September, October and November, and it is a priority to get accurate birth dates; therefore, breeding cows are checked regularly.

Twice daily, the yearling heifers are checked to weigh their calves within hours of being born.

We hope this gives you an insight into the management at Cree, and we look forward to seeing you at our 9th on-property sale Monday, 4th September.

Here at Cree Pastoral, we utilize the benefits of BREEDPLAN to identify and multiply the occurrence of high-performance animals.

Many of these traits are impossible to identify by “eye” and are hard to measure. Often these important profit driving traits are negatively correlated to the popular selection criteria utilized by purchasers using raw data. It is important to understand that raw data is only the objective measurement of that animal and cannot be compared to animals even run in the same mob unless they are of the same age and have had the same opportunity whole of life.

BREEDPLAN on the other hand takes that raw data and adjusts for age and the heritability of each trait, allowing for accurate comparisons between animals of different ages and preparations. EBV's denote the genetic potential irrespective of environment.

BREEDPLAN is the only "quantifiable" way to measure genetic progress. With the necessary obligations of acquiring 200-, 400- and 600-Day weights along with measuring EMA's, Rib and Rump

fat depths, IMF scans, scrotal sizes and recording days to calving EBV's and flight time, BREEDPLAN allows us to keep our finger on the pulse of our herds performance.

The collection of this data is objective, real performance and cannot be denied "in herd". We believe this to be the most effective way of monitoring our herd's performance and direction. The BREEDPLAN analysis is then the platform to measure our herd in comparison to the Santa Gertrudis breed.

With careful selection and complimentary joining’s, we are creating animals that have across the board positive contributions to the major profit driving traits, namely growth, fertility, and carcass.

Our end goal is producing animals that are above breed average across all their recorded traits and currently the Cree herd has a 5 star rating for Completeness of Performance Recording which we believe is the highest rating for a Santa Gertrudis herd in Australia.

We’ll safeguard your future.

The EBV’s contained within this catalogue can be validly compared with other Santa Gertrudis GROUP BREEDPLAN EBV’s. These EBV’s can not be used to compare animals of another breed.

Estimated Breeding Values (EBV’s)

An animal’s breeding value is its genetic merit, half of which will be passed on to its progeny. While we will never know the exact breeding value, for performance traits it is possible to make good estimates. These are called Estimated Breeding Values (EBV’s).

The EBV is therefore the best estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for that trait. EBV’s are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and the genetic base to which the animal is compared.

BIRTH

Gestation Length: The GL EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBV’s indicate shorter gestation length and generally easier calving.

Birth Weight: The Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth occurring. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.

FERTILITY

Scrotal Size: The SS EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Scrotal circumference measurements are taken between 300 and 700 days and adjusted to 400 days of age. Higher (positive) EBV’s indicate higher fertility. SS is also positively associated with female fertility.

Day to Calving: The DTC EBV (days) is an indicator of female fertility based on the time between a cows first exposure to a bull and when she subsequently calved. Cows that calve late in the season or fail to calve are penalised. Lower (negative) EBV’s are preferred indicating shorter days to calving for the sires daughters.

GROWTH

Milk: 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weight of their calves.

200 Day Growth: The 200-Day EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth to early ages.

400 Day Weight: The 400-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for yearling weight.

600 Day Weight: The 600-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.

Mature Cow Weight: The Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age. Lower or more moderate EBV’s are generally more favourable.

CARCASE

Carcase Weight: The Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of 650 days.

Eye Muscle Area: The EMA EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBV’s indicate better muscling.

Rib Fat: The Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the 12/13th rib in a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBV’s indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.

Rump Fat: The Rump Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the P8 site of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBV’s indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.

Retail Beef Yield Percent: The RBY% EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase size.

Intramuscular Fat Percent: The IMF% EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of intramuscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.

ACCURACY

An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy, the lower the likelihood of change in the animal’s EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or its relatives.

Acc. Range Interpretation

< 50% The EBV’s are preliminary. EBV’s in this range will have been calculated based on very little information. These EBV’s could change substantially as more direct performance information becomes available on the animal.

50 - 74% The EBV’s are of medium accuracy. EBV’s in this range will usually have been calculated based on the animal’s own performance and some limited pedigree information.

75 – 90% The EBV’s are of mediumhigh accuracy. EBV’s in this range will usually have been calculated based on the animal’s own performance coupled with the performance for a small number of the animal’s progeny.

90% > The EBV’s are a high accuracy estimate of the animal’s true breeding value. It is unlikely that EBV’s will change considerably with addition of more progeny data.

Although the accuracy of an EBV should be considered, animals should be compared on EBV’s regardless of accuracy. Where two animals have the same EBV however, the animal with the higher accuracy would normally be used more heavily than the bull with the lower accuracy because the results can be predicted with more confidence.

SELECTION INDICES

The Selection Index value for an animal is effectively an EBV of the animal’s profitability for a defined commercial production system and market end-point. Ranking bulls on their Selection Index value sorts them based on their progeny’s expected differences in profitability for the targeted production system.

As a guide to using Selection Indexes, it is recommended that producers complete the following steps:

(i) Identify the Selection Index of most relevance to your production system

(ii) Rank animals on the Selection Index

(iii) Consider the individual EBV’s of importance

(iv) Consider other traits of importance that may not be accounted for in the selection index (eg. temperament, structural soundness)

There are currently two different selection indexes calculated for Santa Gertrudis association animals. Each Selection Index describes a specific production system and market scenario as described below:

Disclaimer

Domestic Production Index

Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined for an example self-replacing commercial herd (run in a temperate environment) producing steers for the domestic trade. This Index assumes that the steer progeny are pasture grown and finished and marketed at 500 kg live weight (280 kg HSCW and 12 mm P8 fat depth) at 16 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding.

Export Production Index

Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined for an example commercial herd (run in a sub-tropical environment) producing steers for the export trade. This Index assumes that the steer progeny are pasture grown and finished and are marketed at 620 kg live weight (340 kg HSCW and 15 mm P8 fat depth) at 28 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding.

All selection indexes are reported as an EBV, in units of relative earning capacity ($) for a given production/market scenario. They reflect both the short term profit generated by a sire through the sale of his progeny, and the longer term profit generated by retaining their daughters.

The Santa GROUP BREEDPLAN Estimated Breeding Values contained in this Sale Catalogue were compiled by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) from data supplied by the breeder. Neither Santa Gertrudis Association nor the ABRI oversee or audit the collection of the data.

The

The Cree herd consistently records a Completeness of Performance rating of 5 STARS since 2022. BREEDPLAN

The “Completeness of Performance” herd rating system assesses the quantity of pedigree and performance information that has been submitted to BREEDPLAN by an individual seed stock herd.

1 to 5 star rating scale is calculated based on the proportion of calves and numbers of performance traits recorded.

CRE E NORTHERLY N116 (P)

Northerly is a polled son of King out of an aged cow that has reared 9 calves. Selected primarily for his outstanding phenotype and temperament he established himself as a prominent sire with his first drop of calves. He is a long bodied, deep, and heavy bull that weighed in at 1200kg before joining this year. With an ideal sheath, large testicles, and breed leading growth and carcass data he is a highly regarded sire in our herd. Again, high growth, with high milk, heavy muscle, early puberty, and while not as high as some of our sires, still above average for female fertility traits. This has resulted in him being a trait leader for 200-400-600-Day Growth, Scrotal size, and Carcase Weight. To date 16 sons have sold at auction to average $19,200 and top at $40,000 for Northerly R222 (PP), selling to Pat and Stuart Leahy, Monto, and $32,500 for Northerly S104 (PP) that sold to Geoff & Meg Becker, Moura.

CRE E PONGA P006 (AI) (PS)

79 and 82.

Ponga is an A.I product by Cree Leroy L192(P). We retained semen in Leroy when he sold to the Dillon Family, Surbiton Station, Alpha for $40,000 at the 2016 sale.

Short gestation, low Birth Weight, high Growth, early Puberty, high EMA, RBY and quiet, all in the 1 package. He is also a trait leader for Scrotal size.

Because of his gestation and birth attributes Ponga has been used exclusively over yearlings up until this season. As he has matured into a 1160 kg bull, he has had to be joined to older females this year.

Last year, his first 8 sons sold at the sale to average $17,000 topping at $26,000 for Ponga S012 (PP) selling to Troy and Lisa Jensen’s Kenwar Stud at Biloela.

Represented by lots: 17, 19, 33, 35, 42, 45, 47, 53, 68, 70, 72 and 76.

CREE NORMANDY N036 (P)

Normandy is also a polled son of King from a female that raised 7 calves. He is more of an efficient type in frame but maintains thickness and muscle with an excellent sheath, large stones and quiet temperament. He is a trait leader for Scrotal size and Days to Calving and offers potential for dynamic change in female fertility without compromising growth and carcass.

To date 16 of his sons have sold to average $15,500 topping at $22,000 twice, for Normandy R108 (P) and Normandy R276 (P), selling to the Strathmore Stud, Blackall, and Mark Wilson, Banana Station respectively.

Represented by lots: 2, 5, 8, 29, 41, 49, 61 and 84.

CREE NEMESIS N240 (P)

Another polled son of King and this time from a Ferrero cow. As you would expect from combining 2 of the breeds leading performance sires his predictions are powerful.

A trait leader for 600-Day Growth, Scrotal Size and Carcase Weight. Again, a sire capable of pushing Growth and Fertility simultaneously.

7 of Nemesis’s sons have sold via auction, to average $16000 with a top of $28,000 for Nemesis R050 (P) who sold to the Gyranda Stud.

Represented by lots: 11, 24, 38 and 50.

CREE PAPALII P002 (ET) (AI) (PS)

Papalii is a product of one of our IVF programs by Warenda D696 (P), once again from a Ferrero cow. He is moderate framed with length and thickness, dark coated poll bull with a ton of breed character and prepotency that has seen him produce 17 bulls for this sale.

He has desirable Growth predictions with small calves, then attaining high Growth through 600-Day and Mature Cow, with early Puberty, high Carcase Weight and RBY.

While his performance is not as consistent across the traits as some of our other sires, he brings an outside sire line, structural soundness, and faultless temperament, so used in the right circumstance we feel he has plenty to offer.

Last year, his first 7 sons sold through the ring to average $18,400, with a top of $35,000 for Papalii S168 (PP) selling to Russel and Sheryl Purvis, Waterford Grazing, Capella.

Represented by lots: 7, 9, 28, 30, 31, 39, 43, 46, 51, 54, 64, 65, 66, 71, 74, 75 and 80.

ROSEVALE NACHO N382 (P)

Nacho is a more efficient style of bull from a fertile Rosevale line, in that both Grand Dams have had 10 or more calves. He has interesting performance data with very low birth weights, then expresses high early growth to 400-Day with lighter Mat Cow weights, early Puberty, high Days to Calving and High EMA.

He has bred a consistent line of cattle and appears a very useful addition to our sire battery. To date 15 of his sons have sold to average $14,100 topping at $47,500 for Nacho S128(PP) that sold to Bruce Russell and family’s Grassbrook Pty Ltd. NSW.

Represented by lots: 14, 40, 48, 52, 57, 58 and 73.

ROSEVALE JACKAROO P316 (P)

Jackaroo was purchased at the 2018 Rosevale sale for use as a yearling heifer bull and has been used exclusively for that up until this season, as maturity and good seasons have seen him become too heavy for the role.

He is a very eye appealing bull as most Jackaroo’s are and has an ideal Growth pattern with smaller Birth Weight then rapid Growth through to 600-Day, tapering off at Mature Cow.

Early Puberty is a feature as are the high Fats which is Jackaroo’s trademark. Last year his first 5 sons sold through the ring to average $16,400, with a top of $22,000 for Jackaroo S004 (PP) to Donald Joyce, Taroom.

Represented by lots: 27, 32, 34, 55, 56, 67, 77 and 78.

Quicksilver was purchased at the 2020 Rosevale sale for the top price of $50,000. He has a ton of sire appeal and performance that is hard to fault. A trait leader for 200-400 and 600-Day Growth, Carcase Weight, and EMA. Added to this is early Puberty and high fats providing a bull capable of making rapid genetic change across multiple traits at once. He has established himself as a sire of the future with this draft, his first crop of calves to be offered for sale.

Represented by lots: 10, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 37, 59, 63, 69 and 81.

ROSEVALE REVELATION R410 (PS)

Revelation was purchased at the Rosevale sale last year, and like the 2 bulls before him, he has the same ability to affect rapid change simultaneously. While he doesn’t deliver the same Growth as some of the other sires, he makes up for it with Fertility and Carcase attributes. He was used over yearling heifers in his first season and once the birth data was processed, it became evident he was not suited to that application.

YARRAWONGA R300

R300 was purchased at the 2021 Yarrawonga sale.

He offers outcross genetics in a dark smooth coated homozygous package.

While it will take some time for his performance predictions to come through, his first crop of calves look promising.

STRATHMORE SQUIRE S770 (P)

Squire was purchased for the top price of $60,000 at last years Strathmore Sale.

He offers outcross genetics in a polled, quiet, phenotypic, structurally sound package. He performed well in his first season attaining a high pregnancy rate on first calf heifers, and we look forward to see how they compare in the herd next year.

ROSEVALE SCOOBIE DOO S286 (PS)

Scoobie Doo was purchased at last years Rosevale sale, and at this point in time covers all our objective criteria in a sire. A very well-balanced set of performance predictions with low Birth, above average Growth, exceptional Fertility and Puberty traits with very good fats and carcase attributes. Another bull that can effect change rapidly over multiple traits at once. He was joined to 98 yearling heifers aged from 12 to 15 months with Simo S160(PS), where they achieved a 75% pregnancy rate in 60 days.

YARRAWONGA SAM S906 (P)

Yarrawonga Sam S906(P) was purchased at the Yarrawonga Sale last year. He boasted even fats of 12mm and 12 mm 140 sq cm EMA, 5.1 IMF and 83% morphology.

He offers outcross genetics and is an eye appealing, tropical coated sire with sound structure and balance. A quiet natured poll bull that was used over first calf heifers this season. We look forward to comparing his calves when they arrive next season.

CREE SIMO S160 (P)

Simo S160 (PS) was retained from last years sale bulls as the highest Export Index bull we bred for the year.

The King and Ferrero combination of Growth while maintaining Fertility is evident once again and provides plenty of options for the use of this bull. His high IMF is also a feature. He was joined to 98 yearling heifers aged from 12 to 15 months with Scoobie Doo (PS), where they achieved a 75% pregnancy rate in 60 days.

Cree F103 had 6 calves including a heifer that sold to Kim McNamara, a bull that sold to Maurie McKay at the Daintree and 4 retained heifers.

Northerly T150(P) was not eligible for classification but we think him a worthy lot 1 bull. Combining 2 of the breeds leading performance sires in King and Ferrero, he displays the growth, carcase and EMA qualities you would expect, along with early puberty, to produce the high $ indexes. With growth traits like this, it is not surprising he was lean at 600 days of age. Certainly a bull capable of driving growth while maintaining fertility levels.

CREE PONGA T004

Ponga T004 is the first calf of Cree R211. She died prior to weaning this year and her last, a weaner heifer by KG, had to fend for herself until weaning.

Cree F059(P) calved first at 2 yrs and had 10 calves with a 358-day interval. 2 bulls have sold at auction, being King N110 to Hugh Button and King Q194(P) that sold to Pat and Stuart Leahy.

This is another bull that should suit heifers. By Ponga, from a maiden himself, and with a birthweight of 31kg.

A true allrounder with 17 of the 18 recorded traits above breed average. He has ideal performance predictions with low birth weight, high growth, low MAT cow weight, high milk, high fertility, muscle, and the ability to lay down fat.

Cree G003 had 4 calves before being PTE and sold including Gambler N132 that sold to Pini Grazing, Nebo.

Quicksilver T186 is the highest performing bull in the sale. Not many animals can match his extreme performance across so many traits. He is ranked in the top 1% for 8 traits, and within the top 10% for 3 more.

He provides an opportunity to effect positive change everywhere at once.

Cree G163 only produced the 1 calf before being PTE and sold. Northerly T148 combines high growth with very high fertility traits typical of all the king and Ferrero’s which generate the high $ indices. Average fats and high IMF make him an attractive genetic proposition.

Papalii T088(P) is an ideal heifer bull as his birthweight EBV is in the top 1% for that trait. His 200-day weight is probably low due to this, but by 600-day he is well above breed average. Good fertility traits, high IMF, and high Export $Index means he can be used anywhere in a herd.

Ponga T020 weighed 35kgs at birth and as he is from a maiden himself, we think he will suit heifers. His lighter than average EBV backs this up. His overall performance with 14 of the 18 recorded traits above the average, suggests his use across the whole herd as well.

High growth, tapering off at MAT cow weight, early puberty, high female fertility, high EMA, fats in the top5% and high IMF. Added to this versatility is his ability to be joined with heifers, as he was a 36kg calf himself, out of a maiden, and has a light birthweight EBV to back it up.

Cree Nacho T216(PS) is a smooth coated tidy bull that we anticipate would be a genuine heifer bull with his extremely low birth weight EBV.

Cree G097(P) Had 3 calves and was PTIC on her 4th but failed to produce a calf and was sold. 2 of her heifers were retained. Quickdraw T234(P) was deemed able to fend for himself when his mother died, and did so for the rest of the season until weaning. This has resulted in him always being behind the others, but he is catching up with maturity. He offers a very balanced data set which you would expect being a half-brother to Nemesis.

Cree M003 has had 6 calves and is PTIC again this year. 1 heifer was sold to Bud Quaid at the Daintree, and Normandy T098(P) will be her first bull offered for sale.

Cree G105(P) had 5 calves with a very good interval of 350-days. 1 heifer was retained and 1 bull sold to TVF Pastoral. Normandy T098(P) is a bull that should suit heifers. He offers a low birth weight and a more moderate growth pattern. Good DTC keeps his $ Indexes above average and interestingly he shows high IMF.

Thank you for taking an interest in the 9th Annual Cree Bull Sale catalogue.

If you have purchased a Cree bull from the sale, we wish you all the best and we will be in contact to organize delivery. Also, to the under bidders and to those who attended the sale, we sincerely appreciate your attendance.

We wish you the very best in your business and hope the weather is kind.

A special thank you to Simone from Cattlelogue Queen and the catering team for donating to Capricorn Rescue Helicopters.

Why is MORPHOLOGY so important?

Bovine Morphology is the study of the shape and form of bovine sperm. The quality of a bull’s sperm depends on many factors, including stress, temperature, nutrition, illness/injury, age and testicular form and function.

Standard crush-side assessment of semen uses a field microscope that magnifies sperm 400x. Crush-side review only looks at semen motility and gives a single percentage of sperm moving forward.

Motility does not always represent the actual fertilizing ability of the semen. In addition, many abnormalities directly affect the quality of sperm and cannot be seen in this resolution.

To get a more comprehensive overview, a high-powered oilimmersion microscope is required. At Rocky Repro, we use DIC (differential

interference contrast) microscopes in our laboratory to magnify the image by 1000x.

Morphology provides a deeper understanding of your bull’s actual reproductive ability and provides insight into their overall health and condition. It also shows the overall health of the seminal fluid, detecting the presence of other unfavourable conditions such as bacteria, yeast, parasites, urine crystals, and white and red blood cells.

Beyond just motility, morphology looks at individual sperm cells, examining head shape and smoothness, tail shape and integrity and additional abnormalities.

Sperm abnormalities fall broadly into two categories: Compensable and Non-Compensable.

Compensable abnormalities are abnormal sperm that are unlikely to reach or fertilize an egg; hence they can be present in slightly higher levels than non-compensable sperm. Non-Compensable sperm has the potential to reach and fertilize an egg but will likely result in early embryonic death and loss of pregnancy.

Overall, any semen sample with less than 70% normal morphology, regardless of the category of abnormality, will not meet the industry standard for a “Tick” or “Pass” grade.

A morphology assessment provides a valuable real-time look at the bull’s current reproductive and overall health and can also offer insight into the bull’s breeding future.

Managing FERTILITY

FERTILITY

Does pregnancy testing increase fertility?

Pregnancy testing is a very good way to drive profitability in a herd but does very little to increase a herd’s fertility. The yearly culling of cows that fail to re-breed, only to have them replaced by heifers from the same herd, often daughters from these very same cows, cannot raise fertility.

The foundation cows of the Cree herd have been pregnancy tested since 1967 and we are still prioritizing fertility. Some bulls you buy will have the ability to raise fertility and some will not. The law of averages will prevail. Unless you know the reproductive capability of every bull you purchase, your chances of improving your herds fertility are compromised.

Buying bulls with higher than average Scrotal size and DTC (Days to Calving) EBV’s is currently the only way to guarantee you are making fertility your priority.

We have been morphology testing our sires for over 20 years and this year’s sale bulls have also been analyzed.

DAYS TO CALVING VERSUS CALVING INTERVAL

We are often asked what is the difference?

The calving interval is simply the number of days between a cows calving dates divided by the number of calves she has had. It is a useful indicator of a cows individual performance but is largely affected by management practices. Controlled joining periods, A.I programs, IVF egg donation and single sire bull failures all have a negative effect on the calving interval through no fault of the cow.

The Days to Calving EBV is derived from recording when the cow is exposed to the bull until she has the subsequent calf.

This means it is actually a measurement of her speed of re-breed, how soon she returns to the bull after calving. The EBV takes into account the performance of her sire and dam and all of her siblings and effectively takes out the management issues. This is why a cow with a “relatively” poor calving interval can still have a reasonable EBV for Days to Calving. It also means cows with a good DTC EBV are less likely to produce heifers who will suffer from lactation anoestrus. (won’t cycle whilst milking).

This EBV denotes the genetic potential of the animal irrespective of management practices.

DAYS TO CALVING, GESTATION LENGTH AND CALF LETHARGY

Recently I read an article and was also questioned on the relationship of negative Days to Calving EBV’s and short gestation, possibly causing calf lethargy.

The days to Calving EBV promotes cows that calve earlier in the season compared to those that calve later. Variation in Days to Calving is mainly due to differences in the time taken for females to conceive after the commencement of the joining period. It is actually a measurement of her speed of re-breed.

A short gestation period would somewhat aid the Days to Calving interval on an individual basis but given that EBV’s are influenced by all progeny of the Sire and all progeny of the Dam they would all have to calve early to affect the EBV. Further to this, Scrotal size, (puberty) Lactation anoestrus interval and Gestation Length all contribute to the Days to Calving EBV.

Gestation Length on the other hand is simply the measure of pregnancy duration, and as it is impossible to know when most cows conceive, it is usually only generated from A.I records. Short Gestation is also actively sought in some breeds as one of the primary drivers to lower Birth Weights and aid calving ease. A short gestation interval is possible whether the cow calves early in the season or not and regardless of her Days to Calving EBV.

Calf Lethargy can be the result of many causes, like illness, temperature and disease, but it is arguable whether short gestation is one of them. In fact, a cow with longer gestation interval and larger calf would more likely suffer lethargy from a difficult birth.

1. The highest bidder shall, subject to Condition 2, be the Purchaser provided that the Vendor reserves the right to bid either by himself or through his Agent or Auctioneer and should any dispute arise among the bidders for any lot, during or immediately after the sale of the lot, it shall be settled at the Auctioneers absolute discretion who may, should one of the disputants advance, put the lot or lots up again. The bidding from time to time shall be regulated by the Auctioneer and no bid shall be retracted.

2. The sale will be conducted on a “Sale” or “No Sale” basis whereby the lot for sale shall be knocked down to the highest bidder, but the sale will be subject to the acceptance of the highest bid by the Vendor who will immediately after the fall of the hammer declare “Sale” or “No Sale”. Should the Vendor reject the bid of the highest bidder such bidder will have the right of first refusal of the lot at the Vendor’s nominated price for one hour after the lot has been passed out of the ring on the Terms and Conditions herein set forth in so far as they shall apply.

3. The details of the Purchaser, the purchase price and the lot sold as recorded by the sale clerk for and on behalf of the Auctioneer shall be equally binding on both Purchaser and Vendor.

4. The Auctioneer expressly reserves the right, without giving any reasons therefore, to:

(a) Refuse to acknowledge any bid;

(b) Withdraw any lot or lots before or during the sale;

(c) Exclude any person from the auction venue should it think fit.

5. Each lot in all cases shall be at the risk and expense of the Purchaser upon acceptance of his bid by the Vendor or upon acceptance of the highest bidder’s offer by the Vendor whichever shall be the earlier.

6. Except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions of Sale no guarantee or warranty shall be given in respect of any lot sold under these Conditions as to pedigree, sex, age, breeding condition or otherwise howsoever, and no guarantee, warranty or condition whatsoever shall be implied from any affirmation made before or at the time of the sale, or from any circumstances of the sale, but in all cases where a guarantee is intended the same shall attach and be enforceable only if reduced to writing before delivery of the lot and signed by the Vendor or by the Auctioneer acting as agent for the Vendor, and the absence of such writing shall be conclusive evidence in case of dispute that no guarantee, warranty or condition whatsoever was given or implied.

7. In the event of any dispute in respect to the sale of any lot:

(i) The Purchaser shall nevertheless be obliged to pay to the Auctioneer the full purchase price and any other monies or interest payable by the Purchaser in accordance with these terms and conditions;

(ii) The Vendor and the Purchaser shall resolve the dispute between themselves;

(iii) The Auctioneer shall have no liability or responsibility in regard to the dispute; and

(iv) No lot shall be returned to the Auctioneer and the Purchaser shall indemnify the Auctioneer for all costs, expenses and damages which the Auctioneer is put to or incurs by reason of the Purchaser so doing.

8. The name of the Vendor for whom the Auctioneer acts is acknowledged to have been furnished to Purchasers prior to the sale and further particulars will in all cases be furnished to a Purchaser if required. In the case of any disputes the remedy of the Purchaser shall be against the Vendor only and in no case or under any circumstances against the Auctioneer who is to be regarded for all intents and purposes as agent for a disclosed principal.

9. (a) PAYMENT – Unless prior credit arrangements have been made in writing with the Auctioneer the full purchase price for each lot shall be due and payable to the Auctioneer in cash upon acceptance of the highest bid or the highest bidder’s offer by the Vendor and prior to delivery. Notwithstanding that delivery is given to or possession obtained by the purchaser or his representative prior to the payment of the purchase money in full the property in any lot which is sold shall not pass to the Purchaser until the full purchase price and all cheques, promissory notes, bills of exchange, acceptance orders or drafts given in connection with such payment have been paid and liquidated, and until property shall pass, the Purchaser shall hold such lot as bailee, provided that in all cases should such payment not have been made and liquidated within 14 days of the date of the sale the Auctioneer reserves the right to:–

(i) Rescind the contract on behalf of the Vendor and repossess and resell any lot;

(ii) Recover from the Purchaser interest upon the purchase price at a rate per annum which aggregates the AMBA Bill Rate plus two percentum. For the purposes of this condition, the expression “the AMBA Bill Rate” is the rate published by the Australian Merchant Bankers Association in good faith as at the date of the sale as its bill rate for 180 day bills of exchange expressed as a percentage per annum. If at any time the AMBA Bill Rate becomes unavailable for any reason, the Auctioneer shall determine and advise the Purchaser of the interest rate to apply for the purposes of this condition.

(b) The Auctioneer is selling as the del credere agent of the Vendor and the full purchase price of any lot sold shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Auctioneer and be fully recoverable by the Auctioneer in its own name.

10. If the Purchaser shall neglect or fail to comply with any of the within conditions, any lot purchased by him may be immediately resold by public auction or private contract, with or without notice, at the risk of the former Purchaser, who will be held responsible for all loss and expenses arising out of such resale, and shall not participate in any profit accruing therefrom.

11. Any Vendor or Purchaser removing the sale number from any lot after it has been sold will fully indemnify all affected parties for any loss, costs or damage should the lot be wrongly delivered.

12. The Purchasers, if any more than one, shall be jointly and severally bound by these Terms and Conditions, and shall jointly and severally carry out and perform same.

13. Any person who advances a bid on a lot shall do so on the expressed condition and understanding that should that person’s bid be the highest bid and such bid is accepted by the Vendor, then that person will be held personally liable for the price so agreed upon, regardless of the fact that that person may be acting on behalf of another party, either disclosed or undisclosed to the Vendor or Auctioneer, provided however, that this Condition shall not in any way negate the Vendor’s right to claim against any principal and in such case the bidder’s liability shall be construed to be by way of guarantee.

14. The Auctioneer may, should it think fit, make arrangements on a Purchaser’s behalf for the feeding, watering, trucking, shipping of and general attendance to any lot after sale but no responsibility will be accepted by the Auctioneer and all such service will be at the Purchaser’s risk and expense.

15. No lot will be delivered until the sales invoice has been checked and signed by the Purchaser or his duly authorised representative.

16. (a) Each lot in all cases shall be sold with all faults, if any, and excepting those conditions and warranties implied by the Trade Practices Act or any applicable State legislation which cannot be contractually excluded and excepting conditions and warranties expressly contained in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, any express or implied condition, statement of warranty, statutory or otherwise, is hereby excluded. The Auctioneer is not liable in respect of any error, misdescription or omission in any particulars appearing or stated regarding the description of pedigrees of any lot offered for sale and no such error, misdescription of omission shall entitle the Purchaser to annual the sale or reject the lot or claim any compensation, damage or abatement in price.

(b) Each lot will be sold subject to passing all veterinary tests required by the law of the state or country to which the Purchaser intends to transport that particular lot, such tests to be undertaken at the Purchaser’s expense and concluded immediately following the sale. In the event of a lot failing to pass these tests, the sale shall be null and void, any purchase moneys paid by the Purchaser shall be refunded and property in the lot shall revert to or remain with the Vendor.

17. Guarantees of Fertility:—

(1) BULLS - Save and except for calves at foot, all bulls are guaranteed breeders and to so prove by the later of:

(a) twelve months after the date of sale or

(b) the animal reaching the age of 24 months

(2) FEMALES - Save and except for female calves at foot, all females are guaranteed to be in calf or go into calf by the later of:

(a) 6 months of the date of sale

(b) the animal reaching the age of 30 months

A positive pregnancy test certified by a qualified veterinary surgeon shall be sufficient evidence that the animal is in calf.

(3) Claims under Clauses 17(1) and 17(2). A claim that an animal has failed to satisfy a guarantee of fertility under Clause 17(1) or 17(2) must be made to the Vendor within the relevant guarantee period but prior to the animal entering a quarantine area other than on the Vendor’s property.

(a) All claims must be accompanied by a certificate from a registered veterinarian surgeon in accordance with the guidelines established by the Australian Association of Cattle Veterinarians which must clearly identify the basis of the claim.

(b) Subject to Clause 17(9), infertility resulting from injury or disease occurring after the sale of the animal is not covered by this guarantee.

(c) The Vendor retains the right to have the animal placed on a property nominated by him or returned to his own property for further assessment of fertility for a period not exceeding six months. If the animal proves fertile within the period such status must be confirmed by a certificate issued by a registered veterinary surgeon in accordance with the guideline established by the Australian Association of Cattle Veterinarians and costs incurred must be borne by the Purchaser. If the animal is not proven fertile within the period, the costs incurred must be borne by the Vendor.

(4) LIABILITY OF A VENDOR - Except for costs defined elsewhere in the conditions of sale, the liability of a Vendor in respect of claims relating to fertility shall not exceed the purchase price of the animal(s) or provide mutually agreed upon replacement animal(s).

(5) In the event of a claim being substantiated:

(a) The purchase price shall be refunded within 14 days unless a mutually agreed upon replacement animal has been provided.

(b) The animal/s which are the subject of the claim shall automatically become the property of the Vendor and be returned to him or disposed of according to his instruction at his expense.

(6) Subject to Clause 17(9), this guarantee is of no effect if:

(a) The animal is returned to the Vendor.

(i) In poor physical condition or with any injury;

(ii) Tests carried out on behalf of the Vendor within fourteen days of such return proved positive to any diseases which may affect the animal’s fertility or ability to breed naturally; or

(b) The Purchaser has collected and stored semen from a bull or

(c) The Purchaser attempted any form of embryo collection from a female.

(7) In the event of a dispute as to whether a lot is a breeder, such dispute shall be resolved by the Vendor and the Purchaser. The Auctioneer, while he will use his best endeavours to assist, shall have no liability or responsibility in that regard. If an animal is alleged or proved not to be a breeder, the Purchaser must nevertheless pay the Auctioneer the full purchase price and any other monies or interest payable by the Purchaser in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

(8) EVIDENCE OF FERTILITY – A Certificate issued by a registered veterinary surgeon at or before the time of sale that an animal is fertile (unless it is a certificate stating in respect of a female that she is in calf at the time of sale) does not, of itself, satisfy or discharge the Vendor’s obligations under the guarantee of fertility given under this Clause 17. All animals, except calves at foot, must prove their fertility within the relevant guarantee period.

(9) RELIEF FROM GUARANTEE – If the Vendor seeks to be relieved from the obligations which would otherwise be imposed upon him by this clause by virtue of Clauses 17(3)(b) or 17(6)(a), the onus of proof is upon the Vendor to establish that:

(a) The animal suffered the injury or disease or is in poor physical condition due to circumstances and events occurring after the sale, and

(b) The injury, disease of physical condition is the sole cause of the animal’s infertility or failure to prove fertility within the guarantee period.

(10) DEFINITION – For the purpose of this Clause 17, the expression “guarantee period” means:

(a) in relation to bulls – the period specified in Clause 17(1) as being the period in which the bull must prove his fertility; and

(b) in relation to females – the period specified in Clause 17(2) as being the period in which the female must go into calf.

18. (a) Each lot shall be at the risk of the Vendor in respect of any damage or injury, whether by disease, accident or otherwise, or whether caused by the negligence of the Auctioneer for the period that the lot be in the custody of the Auctioneer, unless such lots shall have been sold in which latter case such lot shall be at the risk of the Purchaser in all such respects.

(b) If any Vendor brings to the sale premises any lot which is dangerous, or infected with any disease, that Vendor shall be liable for all injury, damages, costs, losses or expenses which the Auctioneer may sustain, incur or be put to either directly or indirectly as a result of the Vendor so doing. The Auctioneer reserves the right, at its absolute discretion, to exclude from the sale, or put out of the sale venue or dispose of, any lot which in its opinion shows signs of any disease, whether infectious, contagious or not, or of any serious fault or of being dangerous.

19. DELIVERY — Except at the discretion of the Auctioneer no lot shall be delivered to the Purchaser unless payment of the purchase money together with any additional charges incurred including those expenses incurred by the Auctioneer pursuant to Condition 14 hereof, is first made by the Purchaser to the Auctioneer. Release of lots may be withheld by the Auctioneer until personal cheques are cleared.

20. In these Conditions:—

(a) References to “Auctioneer” shall be taken to mean as the context so admits, the Selling Agent or any member, subsidiary or related corporation or body, officer, agent or employee thereof, authorised by the Vendor to conduct the sale of the lot;

(b) “Purchaser” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Condition 1;

(c) “Vendor” shall mean the person or corporation upon whose account lots are offered for sale and where a stud or farm is named shall mean the proprietor of that stud or farm;
