2010: An outstanding year

BEEF EXPO - AN INCREDIBLE RESULT FOR THE STUD

Tuesday 18th May - What a day! Two bulls (both by Yardstick) stood out from the crowd: Glen Anthony Waterford - Champion Simmental, Glen Anthony Warwick Reserve Champion Simmental. Both showing Yardstick’s outstanding attributes of thickness, softness and capacity.

Glenanthony Waterford with the whole GlenAnthony Team and the cleansweep of Simmental trophies

Thanks to Merial and the Ancare brand for their generous sponsorship.

Glenanthony Warwick, a much younger bull than Waterford is a scurred son of Yardstick with an excellent temperament and great beef qualities.

He went on to sell to David and Jane Timperley for $7,500 and travelled south to their new stud at Cave near Timaru.

Glen Anthony Xcess, not yet a yearling heifer weighing 480kg and led by Ashley Dingley, sold for the top price so far this year for a stud female of $6,200. to Brian Aldridge of Lincoln, Christchurch.

What a thrill to have our whole team involved. Sue Wyley winning the best Leaders Trophy, Glennis leading her heifer and hoping all the time that it wouldn’t be sold (wish granted), Ashley leading the Champion Heifer expertly and Amey Hoogenbloom doing her own thing in the steer class winning The Lightweight European section both on the hoof and on the hook - Congratulations!

Thanks to Craig Chapman of Straight Furrow for these excellent stud photographs.

STEAK OF ORIGIN 2010

To cap the day off Glennis and I attended the Steak of Origin gala dinner as finalists. What excitement when we went on stage to win The European section with a sirloin steak from a 20 month Simmental heifer that had wintered over with Norm and Sue Wyley - FANTASTIC!

Even MORE excitement when receiving the overall results of the Steak of Origin 2010, we find that we were in fact placed second to the Champion of Champions. What a thrill to produce a steak from a purebred Simmental animal that proved superior to the large number of traditional Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn entries

Just shows our breeding programme is not only producing beef cattle that look good they also taste good as well!
