CONGRATULATIONS JAZZY
We would like to send a big congratulations to Jasmine Nixon from Crookwell, who was crowned the 2012 Sydney Royal Showgirl.
Jazzy is a passionate leader of her peers in beef cattle breeding and agriculture in general. She will be a fantastic ambassador for agriculture, and is a perfect choice for encouraging today's youth to choose the agricultural career path.
Waitara Angus was one of the cattle studs Jazzy worked for when she was at school, developing her passion for showing cattle. We wish her all the best for the year ahead in her role as Showgirl, and congratulate her again on such a massive achievement.

AFFORDABLE QUALITY AT WAITARA
Waitara acheived a solid result on Friday 12th August, selling 39 bulls from 39 offered. Lot 5, a sensational 458N son, topped the sale at $10 500 going to long time client Mark Gale, Trangie. The sale averaged a solid $5019, with many quality bulls in the very affordable $4500 and below price range. Just under 80% of bulls went to repeat buyers- a very pleasing result. Commercial females acheived good prices, with the winning bidders very happy with their purchase.
Thank you to Landmark for their hard work leading up to and on the day, and thank you to all our many helpers, family and friends. Thank you also to all the bidders & buyers on the day.
LOT 5- WAITARA 458N EMOTION E98 (AI) Top priced bull $10 500
YOU DON'T SEE A BULL LIKE THIS EVERY DAY
We are excited to introduce our new stud sire Ireland's Enviro E71, purchased for $20 000 at Sydney Royal Easter Show. He is by the outcross sire O'Neills Royal Edge by O'Neills Expedition. His dam has averaged $9000 for her previous three sons, and traces back to the famous Merrigrange Vicky H43. Enviro is a deep sided, powerful and athletic young bull. In our opinion he was clearly a standout bull in the shed before judging even began.
Enviro weighed in at 882kg with an eye muscle of 125cm at 18 months. His outstanding phenotype, outcross pedigree combined with a very balanced set of EBVs made him ideal for our program. We will be using him for natural joinings as well as AI. Irelands have retained a semen share and have already used the bull. Limited semen packages are available. Contact us for details.
