Mark Beckman, President, Australian Brangus Cattle Association Ltd
President’s Report I would like to commence my Presidents Report by welcoming all Members old and new as well as every Brangus enthusiast and supporter to the 2018 Autumn edition of “The Australian Brangus” magazine. As I write this report most of Queensland are experiencing heatwave conditions and although some districts have received some rainfall relief in December and January there is still a large proportion of the eastern states that remain in drought and are still waiting for the summer rains. The Annual General Meeting of the ABCA was held at the Gracemere Saleyards on Monday 9th October and it was great to see so many members attend. The Federal Zone representatives were up for re-election and as the three incumbents in zones 2, 3 & 4 had received no other nominations they were returned to office unopposed. Zone 1 through the retirement of former director Greg Magee had received one nomination and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Kellie Silvester to the Management Committee, I’m sure that Kellie will bring a great wealth of knowledge to the committee. I would also like to thank Trevor Jorgensen for taking on the Vice Presidents position as well as Luke Keogh for continuing on as Treasurer. Prior to the ‘Legacy of Ladies’ Sale at the Gracemere Hotel a presentation of Honorary Life Membership was awarded to John and Wendy Fawcett who owned and operated Coreen Brangus stud. Former ABCA President Jeff Frank acknowledged the numerous successes of the Coreen herd and their tireless promotion over countless decades of exhibiting and showing Brangus cattle. Mathew Petty from Scenic Valley Brangus was also presented with the Burnham Youth Award Trophy as the 2017 winner. Mathew is a very deserving winner and a great ambassador for Brangus youth. The ABCA has also seen a number of changes this year with our staff at ABRI. I would like to welcome John Thomas to the position of Executive Officer of the ABCA and wish him well with the new acquisition to his portfolio. John has been involved with Brangus over the past couple of years filling in for Natalie during her maternity leave and attending previous AGMs and sales. Natalie Herd has reverted back to her original position as breed registrar from Monday-Thursday and I would like to thank Natalie for all that she has done in her past role as Executive Officer. This year we have an actioned packed calendar for Brangus which will kick off with the World Brangus Congress in Houston Texas from the 27th of February. A number of Australians will be in attendance and it will be great to see the many photographs and report in the Spring Edition of The Australian Brangus Magazine. Beef 2018 in Rockhampton will be a great platform to showcase our wonderful Breed to both local and international guests. Brangus will feature as one of the largest breeds in the Stud Cattle Arena and plans are progressing well to ensure visitors to the Brangus Boulevard are made to feel very welcome. If any members wish to contribute with the manning of the ABCA site during the event or sponsorship for stud cattle classes please contact John Thomas directly or any of your management committee representatives. In conclusion I hope to catch up with many members old and new between now and Beef 2018 and I hope that those of us who are in need of a serious break in the season get some welcome relief soon. Kind Regards

John Thomas, Executive Officer, Australian Brangus Cattle Association Ltd
The Executive Paper Dear Members, I’d like to formally introduce myself to those of you whom I haven’t met. My appointment to the role of the Executive Officer of the Australian Brangus Cattle Association Ltd., (ABCA) became effective, 1st January 2018. This role isn’t new to me in respect of the fact that I had previously taken on an acting role as Executive Officer while Natalie Herd was on maternity leave, attending the Annual General Meetings in both 2015 and 2016 where I was fortunate to meet and make a connection with many members of the ABCA. Recently I attended in my new role, the 2018 ABCA Board meeting in Brisbane where it was my pleasure to formally meet and liaise with the current Board of Directors. Natalie Herd has since taken on the extremely important role of Registrar of the ACBA. Natalie can be contacted at the office 9.30am to 2.30pm (Eastern Daylight Savings Time) Monday to Thursday with Victoria Lee taking over Natalie’s role on Friday’s. This new job sharing arrangement will ensure that you the members have access to a Registrar five days a week as well as a full time Executive Officer. With the next big event on the Brangus calendar being the triennial Beef 2018 (Rockhampton, May 6th - 12th), I, like many others, are certainly excited and looking forward to attending the international event. It’s a great opportunity to engage with breeders, members and users of Brangus from Australian and overseas, viewing the entire spectacle and spreading the news of the benefits of our great breed. Kind regards,

Cattle Egrets and your cattle The Cattle Egret (Ardea ibis) is well known to most Australian cattlemen and women, especially anybody who observes birds in the tropic, sub tropic and warm temperate areas of Australia. Brangus breeders certainly know the bird, as its contrasting white colour in a paddock of prime Black or Red Brangus certainly stands out. However, not many of us know that the Cattle Egret is a relative new comer to our shores, first recorded here in 1948 when it apparently arrived via South East Asia into Northern Australia. So, it is not indigenous and in fact is a migrant, thought initially from Africa (north of the Sahara), and only recorded in South Africa in the Twentieth Century. It’s also significant that the first recorded sighting in the US was in 1953, those birds coming from Africa, while in New Zealand although only supporting a small semi migrant population, records that the first sightings occurred in 1963 where they are believed to have flown from Australia. In reviewing information on the bird an interesting quote was sourced from ‘Awake’ Watchtower magazine, where writing in Spain, Joe McDonald wrote: “It must be one of the most peaceful colonisations of all time. Not a shot was fired, not a drop of blood was shed … The invaders inexorably occupied one country after another”. He was referring to our friend the Cattle Egret. It is understood that the bird is now the most widespread wading bird in the world. The symbiotic relationship between the Egret and cattle is well known in that they both benefit from the relationship, the Egret by eating ticks, flies (including Buffalo fly and other biting and annoying insect species). While cattle are grazing they disturb other insects such as grass hoppers, beetles etc. Egret are also recorded as eating frogs, cane toads, worms, lizards and some small mammals. A report from Tanzania estimated that during a grasshopper plague there, flocks of up to 40,000 Cattle Egret were observed, with the approximate intake of 600 grasshoppers per bird each day.
to rusty/ orange colouring on the head, neck, breast and back. They are monogamous and both parents rear the young, in small groups, colonies or large flocks. There are usually 2 to 4 eggs per nest.
Conservation status in all Australian states and territories is “Secure”. Their habitats include wetlands, rangelands, pasture, savannah and woodlands, and the major inland river systems of Northern Australia. As Biosecurity is a major current discussion topic within the cattle industry, there appear to be no issues regarding Cattle Egret as being an issue as a vector to transmit possible pathogens/diseases or Cattle are not the only animals to host the friendly, symbiotic weed seeds etc to cause concern.

2017 ACBA Life Membership John and Wendy Fawcett Extract taken from the speech delivered by Mr Jeff Frank, Punchagin Stud, Monto at the 41st annual ABCA Sale Rockhampton. “It is indeed my pleasure to be asked to introduce the newest recipient of Honorary Life Membership of the Australian Brangus Cattle Association.
they exhibited at the Melbourne Royal Show. Through this journey the Fawcett family and their cattle attained many major awards on numerous occasions.
A life membership is something that is not given out lightly, it’s reserved to honour those members who have shown an unselfish dedication and commitment to the Brangus breed over a long period of time.
John was also a very ardent and committed supporter of Field Days such as Farmfest and AgShow. The Coreen Brangus stud commenced exhibiting at the Brisbane Royal in 1976 where Coreen Billabong took out the Grand Champion Bull. Billabong went onto be the first Brangus bull to stand for semen collection at Wacol AI Centre. Coreen was also one of the original vendors at the inaugural ABCA Sponsored Sale that was conducted at Gracemere in 1977.
Looking around this room here tonight I’m guessing there are not too many people present that have know, John Fawcett, longer than I have. I first met John and Wendy and their children, Greg, Peter and Sue, 42 years ago at my first Gympie Show in 1975. The Coreen Stud founded by the couple was established at their Widgee property and was first registered in January 1971 as Stud number of 150. The stud and it’s owners relocated to ‘Sedgwick’ , Tara in 1978. John, Wendy and their family were very active in the show and sale arenas over a 28 year period, attending their first show at Gympie in 1972. The Coreen cattle were exhibited at Regional, Feature and Royal Shows and the triennial, Beef Expo Shows. This pastime took them and their cattle as far south as the Melbourne where 22

Brangus breed from the early years of their stud, having spent many years serving as a member of the committee, including a time as President. It was during his time as President, John put in place the first steps to amalgamate the Brangus Association in Victoria with the national ABCA, which came to fruition in 1994. With the view to retirement, John and Wendy negotiated the sale of their Coreen Stud as a whole, to the then owner of the Greendale Stud, Michael Brown in 2003. The Fawcett legacy, however, is being continued on by their daughter, Sue, whom opeates her prefix, the Lazy S Brangus Stud at Condamine.
One of the highlights of the couples showing career would have been winning the prestigious ‘Supreme Exhibit’ at the Gympie Show in 1986 with Coreen Navigator. Navigator sold later that year to the Tony Thomas’s, Greendale Stud for $16,000 to create a then new record price for a Brangus bull.
Even though John is no longer an Association member, it would be remiss to not present him with this rather overdue Life Membership. But let me say that while it is being presented to John, this award, is just as much recognition of the contribution and commitment to the Brangus breed by all of the family.”
Personally I hold many fond memories from the many years we spent together on the show circuit competing against each other with a friendly rivalry. John has been a very dedicated and committed supporter of the
ABOVE Pictured celebrating their Life Membership were John and Wendy Fawcett (centre) and their children Sue and Greg.
We wish to thank the Vendors and Buyers for their support at the 2016 ABCA Rockhampton Brangus Sale. Be assured of our ongoing commitment to the Beef Industry, and we look forward with great anticipation to the 2017 selling season.

Palmal takes Most Successful title At last years annual Central Queensland Carcase Classic a list of the Brangus breeds achievements was printed in the last publication of The Australian Brangus.

2017 Burham Youth Award Matthew Petty hails from Scenic Valley Stud, Mount Walker, Queensland. The 22-year-old formed his Scenic Valley prefix in 2013. He immediately commenced breeding and showing Brangus cattle after being inspired by well known Brangus breeders at Beef 2012 and Farmfest 2013. Born in Ipswich, Matthew grew up in the Mount Walker area of Queensland on his family’s property. After completing his entire schooling at West Moreton Anglican College where he enjoyed all Agriculture subjects and where he became involved in the school’s cattle. It was at this time the seed was planted with regards to the showing and working with stud cattle. After secondary schooling, Matthew then took himself off to AACC to complete a Certificate 3 in Rural Operations (Beef Production). Matthew’s foray into the Brangus world commenced when he and his father purchased his first Ultrablack and Brangus females at the 2013 Nindooinbah Sale and then backed these purchases up with two more heifers and a bull from Glenoyra Brangus Stud, Oakey. In 2014 he showed his team of Brangus around south east Queensland. In late 2015 he sold his first bull to a Warwick producer and mid 2016 sold another bull to producers at Roadvale. As Matthew recalls, “In south east Queensland our main rivals in the tropical ring are the Droughtmaster and Brahman breeds, I think I’ve worked hard to show and shown quality cattle. It’s starting to pay off, I believe, at the 2014 Beaudesert Show I took out the Champion Pair Of Females of the show and in 2016 I took out the Champion Pair Of Heifers with two heifers I purchased from the Elara herd.” He went onto to say, “I’ve always had strong passion for Brangus. It continues to be a great experience meeting good and knowledgeable people who like helping and assisting young people like myself get started in the stud beef cattle industry. I’m passionate about breeding better cattle and improving the genetics of the Brangus breed. Fertility, growth, adaptability and profitability are the four ‘buzzwords’; words that I apply and stand for when buying or selling bulls and females.” At present Matthew is working full time off property in a job that involves stud cattle and farm work on a stud property in the Brisbane Valley where among other things he’s preparing sale bulls and heifers for an annual on-property sale, with the young awardee adding, “This job had already given me the extra tools and ideas for my future plans for my operation in areas like growth and expansion.” In accepting the award Matthew said “I wasn’t born into a stud cattle family, they however produce good quality 28

commercial cattle. My parents and even grandparents equipped me with the knowledge and willpower to be successful in anything I do. My upbringing was to be honest and true to everyone, care for everyone you work with, have a positive attitude and believe that you can do anything you want when you put your mind to it. My goal in life is to run my own property full of Brangus cattle, breed better Brangus cattle plus have my own on-property bull sale.” The Burnham Youth Award was announced and presented during the dinner at the Gracemere Hotel, Gracemere and just before the commencement of the annual Elders ‘Legacy Of Ladies Sale’ during the 41st ABCA Rockhampton.

The couple entered a total of 124 head of steers comprising 88 Brangus and 36 crossbred steers into the Paringa Feedlot, Capella, owned by Phil and Deborah Reid. The Brangus component were steers all sired by the couples Forest Hills Brangus bulls and the cross bred steers were bought in cattle. At induction all steers were aged between 18-22 months and were weighed in on average liveweight of 442kg. After 105 days feed the group came out with an average liveweight of 671kg with a dentition ranging from milk and two tooths. After processing the kill sheets showed that the average dress weight of the steers was 365kg. Kellie Silvester said of the group, “These Brangus steers were our first line of bullocks we’ve bred and retained by our own Forest Hills bulls, we’re obviously very happy with the results, even more so that all the bullocks graded very well.” “The 124 head were quiet, well handled, successfully fed and killed with no sickness, injuries or mortalities. We’re looking forward to seeing more Brangus bullocks like these in the future.”

Jack wins Foxy Lady What a way to start in the seed stock world by winning a heifer. That’s precisely what happened during the staging of the annual Classic Red Brangus Sale at CQLX Gracemere, in September, last year. The vendors behind the fixture staged a competition called “Win A Heifer”. Donated by Jack and Mim Walker, Jateebee Stud, Theodore the lucky winner had to be present at the sale and the would take home the classy, Jateebee Red Foxy 279. The competition was open to all bid card holders in attendance at the sale with the only exception being the vendors of the Red Classic Sale. Red Foxy at the time of the competition was yearling daughter of Redline 2/096 (Doonside Drummer) out of a Redline Cody/Doonside 573 female. This female line of red matrons stretches as far back as Bimbadeen 931 a red cow registered in 1984. The draw for the female took place before the commencement of the annual fixture with the assembled crowd burst into applause when the winner was announced as Jack Salisbury. There’s a touch of irony as the heifer goes to a young Brangus enthusiast and descendant of one of the breed’s founders, his grandfather, Bruce Burnham and Red Foxy is back at the place of where her family originated.

A social license to farm beef? There is no argument that the production of meat is under fire. Animal welfare groups have an extended agenda with a view to the complete ban of animal agriculture. What can a beef farmer do to maintain their livelihood as further pressure is placed upon their motives and methods?
Matthew and Sally Bekker
We’re really addressing anthropomorphism, that is, attributing human traits and emotions to animal behaviour. We might see it as deranged or humerous, but in a society that has lost all connection to the food chain, the only vision of cattle that the modern consumer can summon up is of daisy the big brown eyed cow, or worse, her doe eyed calf. When even the most cynical ‘townies’ see ABC images of brutal handling or any form of slaughter of these animals for our own profit, they find very little common ground with us. You know what, in a modern democratic society that demands respect for all, they are also right ... We cannot rest on our laurels and blame the ‘greenies’ or PETA, we have a responsibility to continually improve our record, to improve the respect we show the animals that feed the nation and beyond. Remember this industry exports between 60 and 70% of total beef production every year. There is an enormous responsibility that comes with being a world leader in export production. We set the standard. So what do we need to consider? In short, the measure of positive animal welfare is globally accepted as the ability of an animal to live free from disease, pain, hunger and stress while being able to engage in normal social behavior. 42
Autumn – 2018
What we can do as breeders is ensure that the animals we develop not only provide clean, green, plentiful, safe beef but also work in synchrony to appease the consumer who cannot stomach the thought of an animal mistreated, abused or disrespected? 1. Temperament. It is the basis for both stress and behavioural measures. We have these animals in our herds already and they are a pleasure to work with. Not just blind docility, but active engaged animals that have an interest in their surroundings. They do not panic if their environment changes or the herd dynamic shifts. These animals do not jump fences in panic or cower in the corner. Selection pressure is easy to apply. 2. Disease and parasite resistance. Nobody will argue that the sight of a beast covered in buffalo fly with weeping lesions is something we are comfortable with. We are also aware that within that same herd, some animals are barely bothered by the pest and this is a heritable trait. To different degrees the same goes for tick and intestinal parasites. We can select for animals that are less likely to suffer from endemic disease, pests and parasites in general paddock conditions.
3. Minimum maintenance energy requirement. There are our favourites in the herd, producing monster bulls or bullocks that regularly tip the scales well above herd average. This is fine for optimum conditions, but often those high performers fall in a heap when feed runs low. There are also animals in the herd that ‘live on the smell of an oily rag’. As these extreme weather events and extended drought periods increase, we will need those low maintenance cattle to survive and thrive. Our animals with improved temperament will also be more easily collected for transport before they reach critical bodyweight and reduce the impact of the starving cattle image on television sets across capital cities. 4. High eating quality with minimal intervention. ‘Factory farming’ is a term that will turn the most confident city dwelling meat eater into an uncomfortable dinner table
guest reaching for the salad. Nobody really knows what it means, but the sight of tens of thousands of cattle penned in a muddy feedlot certainly makes our city cousins uncomfortable. Wagyu might be the flavour of the month, but a 400 day grainfed animal looks plain uncomfortable in anyone’s language and does not fulfill the requirements for a high welfare state. We know there are animals that can provide a high-quality cut of beef while grazing, and when times are more difficult, with minimal intervention and supplementation or a short grain finished stretch. These are the animals that will be more palatable, both on the plate and in the hearts of consumers. Fake meat is coming but I bet it tastes like rubbish. Let’s help our city cousins and international Aussie beef eaters by lifting the bar on what we accept as best practice, continue to develop an animal that is comfortable in more situations and make them smile while they order their grass fed T-bone.

Palgrove’s big $10,350 average Sale Summary PALGROVE SALE 57 Bulls Average $10,350 Top $19,000 Sale clearance 100%
Sustained and consistent demand resulted in a complete clearance of the Ultrablack offering at the annual Palgrove Bull Sale, Dalveen, September 2017. In what was clearly a vindication of the policies and practices employed by the vendors, David and Prue Bondfield and family, Palgrove Stud, the fixture saw an extra 13 bulls sold as compared to the 2016 result. Balancing these figures was a slight decrease in medium values of $980 per head when compared to the same period. However, demand was clearly driven by the operations attention to carcase quality and attributes, selection criteria and comprehensive list of data. (In 2016 44 bulls averaged $11,330 selling to a top of $24,00). The 2017 sale draft delivered an average EMA scan of 123sq cms, fat depth scans of 11/7mm and an IMF reading of 5.9. In all 44 percent of the offering scanned over 6pc for IMF with eight individuals posted a result of bulls over 7pc a figure that included yearling bulls. Market topper, was the first on offer, the two-year-old, $19,000 Palgrove

AGQUIP Field Day Conduvted over three days the annual AGQUIP Field Days are one of the larger events of it’s type in New South Wales. Once again an enthusiastic band of Brangus breeders and supporters were on hand to fly the Brangus flag at AGQUIP 22nd to 24th August in Gunnedah NSW, last year. Over the three days there they reported there was a constant stream of visitors to the ACBA site from all over the state. The majority of the producer enquiry was for Brangus females or people wanting to source Brangus bulls for their herds in a bid to capitalise on hybrid vigour in the progeny. As always the Brangus promotional material was very popular especially the caps for the school children. A big thank you to Merv and Dale Bailey who had two pens of beautiful Brangus heifers on display. Merv and Dale also provided the panels and were on duty every day. The Jorgensen family, Belview Stud, Delungra also had cattle on display, a bull and cow and calf. Belview Bryonce proved popular with the visitors who liked to give her a pat and she loved it. A real feature of all the stock on the display was their quiet temperament, which impressed all who came to look. Greg and Ange Boyce and Fleetwood Grobler also assisted in manning the site and the work involved in putting it all together.

In a massive vote of confidence all but one of the heifers were purchased by the Curr family, Cloncurry, who purchased 10 of the females to average them $2100. Ian Galloway said the 2017 result was pleasing adding, “This result comes on the back of our recent steer successes in feedlot trials, we’re happy with their EMA data and their ability to develop muscle and carcase traits, particularly given the fact that they (the bulls) had only a relatively short preparation period on oats and the patchy seasonal conditions prevailing at the same time.” Agents: Elders and Landmark

Obituary:
Gordon Cyril Kime 18.10.1935 – 29.6.2017 Gordon Cyril Kime was the forth child born to Frank and Eileen, The Old Place, Etna Creek and was one of eight children. Like most children of that era, Gordon and his siblings furfilled duties on the property, milking cows (by hand), feeding calves and pigs and jobs before the daily trip to school at Etna Creek State School. However, one of the more important jobs in the morning and the afternoon was checking the snares set for Wallabies as this was used for pocket money. Gordon finished school at 14, commencing work for Bob Kersey where he milked cows and performed general farm jobs. Gordon then worked for Jack White at Barmoya just behind Rossmoya on Log Waterhole. Gordon’s rations for the week were a piece of corned beef and a tin of syrup. He’s return home on weekends on a bicycle to help on the farm, play cricket or tennis for leisure and return to his week job on a Sunday (20 miles each way). During that time he met Margaret Mary Shaw and that friendship would develop further. Not long after that Gordon commenced work at ‘Doonside’ for Mrs Mavis Tennant, working with Bob ‘Jumbo’ Shaw, Margaret’s older brother. Both Gordon and Bob were good axemen and took on contract ringbarking on weekends and holidays to earn more money. Soon Gordon had saved enough money and by trading his pushbike was able to purchase a second hand Matchless 500 Motorbike. That relationship with Margaret blossumed and the couple were married in Rockhampton on the 26th September 1955 and raised two children Colin and Wendy. It was during his time at Doonside that Gordon’s skills in both cattle breeding and horse skills and horsemanship were brought to the fore. He was taught the finer points and the art of bull preparation. He travelled with the Doonside Braford teams to the Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Brisbane Royal Shows. Teams of up to 30 head of led bulls from Doonside were all fed and prepared for the annual Dalby and Rockhampton Sales. At his last Brisbane Royal for Doonside in 1973 the team of eight head won every championship in the Braford section from a field of 70 head. After 23 years Gordon, Marg and the family left Doonside and moved to Couti – Outi where he worked closely with Lawson and Linda Geddes and family for the next nine years. During the beef depression and for three years, 54
Autumn – 2018
Gordon took on a part time job as a stud classifier for the Braford breed. This job took Gordon all over Australia where he again made a series of life long friends. In 1979 Gordon and family together with the Geddes family, purchased Amaroo, Nebo. The early years were tough, no power and no phone for three years. During this time Gordon pursued his passion for drafting cattle and horses. He regularly was involved in the Nebo Bushmans Carnival and was on hand for working bees, campdrafts and supplied calves for the poddy ride. Not along after this Gordon commenced showing Brangus cattle at the Mackay Show taking out numerous championship titles for single steers and pens of steers over many years. Gordon also promoted the breed by taking a led Brangus steer to the Brisbane Royal and this entry went onto win his class at the ‘Ekka’ Gordon also bred his own horses at Amaroo with notable stallions over the years being, Comara Advent, Yarrawa 303 and the present resident stallion, MacNamara Ordeal. All of these stallions had won novice Drafts with ‘303’ the youngest horse to final at all three drafts at Warwick in the same year. Radar a gelding by ‘303’ is now an Open Horse and won the ASH Novice Horse Of The Year. Both Radar and Conote were campaigned by Gordon’s grandson, Sam as he went onto win the ACA Juvenile Rider Of The Year in 2015. Gordon’s other grandson, Matt campaigns another homebred mount, Pattern with much success. In 2003 Gordon and Margaret’s daughter Wendy passed away after a battle with cancer. During this time whilst keeping the family together Gordon’s love of drafting took over again. With assistance from Pete Comiskey and both grandsons Gordon travelled and caught up with many of the long life friends and made and developed many more along the way. Another of his favourite pastimes was preparing bulls for the annual Brangus Sales. One of his favourite saying and mottos was ‘Take only the bulls that you would use yourself and don’t put bulls through the ring to make up the numbers’ …. something worth
remembering. Another of his many sayings and advise was ‘If you are going to do a job, do it to the best of your ability ‘ and the other important life lesson was ‘Quick’s the word, Smart’s the action’. The Amaroo brand and it’s cattle is know and recognizied both inside and outside the breed for it’s consistency and quality in all that is presented to the public. Amaroo bulls have topped past annual ABCA Rockhampton Sales. They’ve always and still are a feature within the catalogues over many years where the type of animal and consistency of the cattle has never changed even though fades come and go. Gordon loved his Brangus. There was never a better glint in his eye when he took out an award, or found or was showing you what he thought was a good Brangus steer, bullock or bull. We’ve said goodbye to a loving husband, a caring dad and a very proud grandfather, as well as a good mate, a great horseman and a great breeder of cattle. A service to celebrate Gordon’s life was conducted at the East Chapel, Rockhampton Crematorium, Thursday, July 6th, 2017. VALE.

Thank You I would like to publicly thank the Burnham family for their sponsorship towards the annual Burnham Youth Award. I was honoured to win this award in October 2016 and have since received great opportunities. I was fortunate enough to be the Associate Judge of the Brangus ring at the 2017 Brisbane Royal Show alongside the official judge, Donna Robson. I would like to thank the Australian Brangus Cattle Association and its board members for the great experiences this has provided me. I believe the involvement from the EKKA gave me invaluable knowledge and techniques while judging show cattle. Lastly, I would like to thank all involved with the Burnham Youth Award and highly recommend the competition to all young Brangus enthusiasts. I would also like to congratulate recent winner, Matthew Petty.
