22/04/10			EBONY LODGE DISPERSAL SALE

Ebony Lodge wish to thank all of the cattlemen and women who supported the final sale. "It has been a great ride" with Gelbvieh from 1989 until now. It was pleasing to see so many repeat buyers and friends coming along for their last look at the herd that has had such a huge impact on Gelbvieh in Australia. Most of the females were sold to registered breeders although a number of quality females are now in commercial herds. This will make money for the commercial cattlemen who bought them but will impact on female inventory numbers. We have made many friends in the Gelbvieh breed which will continue long after the cattle are gone. I will continue to follow the breed into the future. All the best for the future from the Cutler family and the Whitbread family. "EBONY LODGE GELBVIEH COMPLETE DISPERSAL" After 20 years of leading the way with Australias leading source of performance genetics we have decided to disperse our Gelbvieh. The dispersal will take place on property and will see some of the legends of the breed in Australia sold. Direct decendants of Gladstone Red Baron ,Heaton Park Leon , JRI Grand Prix 53G , Ebony Lodge Sorento , Ebony lodge Woodstock , Ebony Lodge Whiskey ,Ebony Lodge Freedom X4 , Ebony Lodge Freedom Fighter and Ebony Lodge Bismark as well as A.I sires JRI Extra Exposure , JRI Black n Stacked , Spur Beretta , Big and Rich and Sculptor. The great cow families of MADELINE , ROSE, ASTER, NICKY, PERFUME, CENTENNIAL, DIAMOND, ROSITA, CHLOE, ALICE AND ADELAIDE will all be sold with generations of proven performance on both sides of the pedigree. Larry can still be contacted, Phone Larry on 0417 994599. To visit the: Ebony Lodge Website.

16/04/10			PARINGA STABILIZER BULLS SELL TO $9000 TOP, story courtesy of RPL

Gelbvieh / Angus infused Paringa Stabilizer bulls sold to a top price of $9000.00 at the annual Paringa Livestock bull sale at Yea in Victoria on Wednesday 31st March. The black Stabilizer bulls are the result of a joint venture breeding and marketing maternal beef bull program set up by Tom Lawson of Paringa with Chris Davison of Morgiana Beef Composites, to compliment the terminal Paringa Charolais program. The overall sale results saw 46 Charolais bull sell to $12,000.00 to average $5000.00, 11 Red Angus bulls sold to a top of $7500.00 to average $3590, and 22 out of 23 Gelbvieh sired, Black Stabilizer bulls sold to a top of $9000.00 to average $4166.00. In all, 78 Paringa beef bulls averaged $4576.00, for a sale gross of $357,000.00. The high selling Stabilizer bull, Paringa Stabilizer D215 was sired by JRI Black n Stacked, and was an ET son of the outstanding cow Lawsons X766, her four sons averaged $6500.00. Two other bulls sold for $8000.00 each, one sired by JRI Black n Stacked and the second by home bred Gelbvieh bull Morgiana Exposure A09. Webster Pastoral of Yea purchased three of the high selling bulls for an average of $7833.00. In sire group averages, 5 JRI Black n Stacked sons averaged $5700.00, 5 JRI Extra Exposure sons averaged $3100.00, 8 sons of Morgiana Exposure A09 averaged $4065, 3 sons of FHG Sculptor 107S averaged $3500.00 and a single son of JBOB Carolina Fortune sold for $2500.00. Buyers came from local areas, Gippsland, Culcairn, Yarrawonga, Jerilderie and East Gresford in the Hunter Valley. Commenting on the sale, Morgiana Beef Composites principal Chris Davison said: “This is an excellent start to our program together, and gives us a strong platform to build forward from. With the ever increasing cost / price squeeze in beef production, commercial breeders are looking for breeding options that target improvements in the efficiency levels of their cow herds. The maternal heterosis generated by our Stabilizer bulls allows breeders to move their programs forward to a new level, to produce an efficient and uniform black and polled cow herd that is ideal for the utilization of the Paringa Charolais bulls as terminal sires. We had excellent feedback from breeders, agents and feedlotters that these cattle are right in line with where the industry needs to go, and we are delighted that so many commercial cattle breeders could see the dollars and cents value in the genetic merit of our Stabilizer bulls” For additional enquiries contact Tom Lawson at Paringa, Phone 0434 146 795.
