Mostyndale Droughtmasters is run by Kevin & Leesa Woolcock and is based at “Mostyndale” a 25,000 acre property located 16km North East of Springsure at the foot of the well known Springsure Mountains.
The beef cattle operation is predominantly commercially orientated with a purebred herd of Droughtmasters being bred, grown and fattened on the property. “Mostyndale” is accredited for the Pasturefed Certification Assurance Program (PCAS) and also has an NFAS accredited feedlot (parallel production).
Over the years we have taken particular interest in the MSA grading of our cattle which are turned off grass, crops and grain and continue to be impressed with how our Droughtmasters are able to meet MSA specs to achieve premium prices over the hooks.
2007 saw the diversification into bull breeding with foundation females being classified as D1 from our commercial herd combined with the purchase of registered females from renowned studs such as Fairhaven, Strathfield, Talgai, Vale View and more.
Our females are expected to produce a calf each year and are culled accordingly. Our aim has always been to produce bulls with tidy underlines and a favourable temperament combined with beef and bone.
This year, Mostyndale Droughtmasters is proud to be once again cataloguing a team of 2 year old bulls and heifers for the Central Reds Sale.
All bulls have been selected to tick the boxes for the commercial cattleman, including beefiness, softness, tidy underlines and temperament. The four registered heifers that we have on offer are all polled and display plenty of loose skin and femininity.
In 2015 at the inaugural ANZ Special Store Sale our pen of heifers was awarded the Champion Pen of Heifers by judges Mac & Gayle Shann. This year Mostyndale will be offering 15 x No 6 HGP free steers and 15 x No 6 well grown heifers which would be suited as replacement heifers ready to join this year. In addition to this, 22 x No 5, PCAS eligible, feed on steers will also be offered.
We look forward to the 2016 Central Reds Sale on the 14th November at the Emerald Saleyards.
Christmas Creek Droughtmasters
Christmas Creek Droughtmasters was established by Bradley and Kerryn Piggott in 1989 as a family owned operation in the foothills of the Carnarvon Ranges. "Christmas Creek" is located approximately 220km north of Roma and 200km south-east of Emerald.
Bradley and Kerryn have three adult children Jack, Chloe and Sophie who are all actively involved in the family property each with valued roles in the business.
Christmas Creek is approx 20000ha with 7000ha of rough range country where the majority of our breeding herd are run on marginal forest country improved with vegetation management, pasture improvement and mineral supplementation all year round.
With this hash environment as our breeding ground it is imperative for us to breed functional structurally sound cattle that handle tough conditions while still raising a healthy calf to weaning.
Our line up of bulls this year are 90% polled or scurred with excellent temperament and well handled being mustered with dogs on horseback and bikes.
This draft also displays length, a good bone structure, sound feet, great top lines and a strong ability to do well in the paddock.
These bulls are healthy and ready to work with the relevant vet checks and all have passed crush side semen tests, vaccinations include 5 in 1, 3 day sickness, 3 germ blood, vibrio and will undergo pre sale tick treatment.
Wolfang Droughtmasters
The Edwards Family of Wolfang Droughtmasters is pleased once again to be involved with the Central Reds Droughtmaster Sale.
Wolfang's main base of operation is located at the home property of “Cooeeall” near Wowan. The stud also extends out to the family owned properties of the newly purchased breeder block of "macintosh", "top well" via Clermont, and bull preparation and fattening block of "Ivanhoe".
Since its establishment in 1998, the aim of Wolfang Droughtmasters has been not only to breed quality cattle suited to all aspects of the beef industry but also to provide bulls which can be easily accessible and marketed to cattle producers. It is these goals which are responsible for our past success selling to both stud and commercials clients.
Wolfang’s new home at “Cooeeall” has proven to be excellent country for breeding and fattening cattle as well as allowing easy access to selling facilities such as Rockhampton and now Emerald.
The Central Reds Sale in Emerald has also contributed to our goal, helping to establish and maintain that our bulls can be easily accessed and purchased by buyers. Emerald is ideally located for this sale, being the central point to many Central Queensland graziers.
We sorely believe that the Droughtmaster breed has a very bright future ahead and we are honoured to be one of the founding members of the Central Reds Sale. With bull selection and preparation now underway, we look forward to the 2016 sale season.
Wolfang TJ Droughtmasters Stud
Wolfang TJ Droughtmasters stud was first established in 2009 as a sub stud of Wolfang Droughtmasters.
Based at our family owned property "Abilene" near Clermont, we focus on matching our hand-picked female herd with bulls that consists of strong characteristics and genetics.
This focus in turn helps us to achieve our aim of producing high quality stud & commercial bulls which are suited to all aspects of the beef industry.
We are extremely proud to be involved with the Central Reds Droughtmaster Sale since its establishment and once again look forward to presenting our bulls this year.
Fernleigh Droughtmasters
Fernleigh Droughtmasters are bred from Fairhaven, Christmas Creek and Glenlands bloodlines. The bulls are prepared for sale on pasture, legumes and bull rations.
Our philosophy is not to present the heaviest bull, rather to provide a bull that a buyer will be able to put directly into use in a breeding herd. Our bulls are fed to present you with an article that is sound and genuine, when you take a Fernleigh bull home to your paddock, you won’t be disappointed in your purchase because there won’t be a dramatic loss of condition as a result of overfeeding.
Fernleigh bulls conform to all expectations in terms of veterinary checks and required inoculations – 3 Day Vaccine, 3 Germ, Botulism, Pesti Virus and they are all semen tested.
When you purchase a Fernleigh Droughtmaster, what you see, is what you get and we take pride in our honesty and reliability as vendors. At the sale, data about the fertility, scrotum size and eye muscle area and IMF will be available for every bull.
You be the judge - consider the quiet temperament, sound conformation and tidy sheaths of the bulls that Fernleigh has to offer.
Minlacowie & Wingfield Droughtmaster Studs
We have been passionately breeding Droughtmaster cattle now for over 50 years with the Studs (Minlacowie and Wingfield) operating over several properties in the Callide Valley, Queensland.
We have achieved many highlights over time with Beef Australia Champions, Brisbane Royal Champions and in the Sale ring where both Studs have sold Bulls to $100,000 and between the two Studs have topped the Droughtmaster National Sale for a record eight times.
Versatility is what we offer. We breed Sires capable of producing for every Market whether it is a Stud Sire, a Sire to fit any Crossbreeding programme or Bulls to produce Jap Ox, MSA, Feeder, Live export and everything in between.
We also take great pride in our Females, “They are Feminine”. They have to be able to calve with ease, produce a calf every year and rear that calf to it’s full potential to maintain their place in our Studs.
