Marellan ShorthornsJudge For Yourself Bull SaleMonday 28th Sept 2015

On-property, “East End” Emerald

Dear Beef Producers,

We are very excited to welcome you to our first bull sale in Central Queensland. This sale has been many years, and many generations of breeding decisions in the making. We have a passion for the northern beef industry, and although we have been breeding bulls for Queensland for many years, it has been very exciting to now have that added element of ticks and more constant heat as part of our selection pressure.

The bulls on offer have passed all our tests. We have had the single focus of breeding bulls to excel over Bos Indicus cows, to give our clients more market options. But ultimately, it’s not about what we think that counts, that why we have called our first sale; ‘Judge for Yourself Bull Sale’, at “East End” Gindie via Emerald. The sale commences at 11am.

On offer will be 40 Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus+ bulls. All these bulls have been blooded and have been fully vaccinated with 3-day, Vibrio, Pestiguard and 7 in 1. The bulls have been semen tested and up to date weighs and scan will be available from 24th September. These bulls represent the very best in Shorthorn genetics, which have been bred for generations to prosper in the Queensland environment.

We are in exciting times for the Australian Beef Industry. Increased Global demand for beef, and the growth in grass fed labels and increased price for feeder steers, bullocks and boat cattle, present a tremendous opportunity for our industry. It is our desire to produce bulls that blend with Bos Indicus cows to give more market options. We invite you to come along on Monday 28th September and ‘Judge for Yourself’.

Yours sincerely,Lincoln & Lisa Job

Sale InformationInspection: Inspection will be from 8am on sale day, 3pm the day before or ANY other time by appointment.

Accommodation: Emerald and Springsure both have numerous accommodation options.

Airport: “East End” is situated only 22km from the Emerald Airport. Please call Lincoln (0404 08 34 38) or Lisa (0411 311 323) if would like us to arrange for you to be picked up from the airport.

Breeding Soundness: All bulls will be semen tested and examined for reproductive and structuralsoundness by Dr Ced Wise.

Supplementary Sheet: Supplementary Sheets will be available from Thursday 24th September. Bulls will be weighed, scanned for EMA, IMF, Marble Fleck and Fat cover. Scrotal measurements will be done by Dr Ced Wise with the ‘reliable’ tension measurer, in accordance with the Australian Cattle Veterinarians.

Delivery: We will endeavour to help co-ordinate efficient delivery of the bulls where required. Trucks are welcome on sale day.

Health: All bulls have been vaccinated with 7 in 1, Pestiguard and Vibrio. All bulls have been blooded with 3-germ. “East End” is a ticky area; consequently all bulls have been exposed to ticks on numerous occasions and will need to be cleared if they are sold to a non-tick area. All bulls will be appropriatelypre-treated so that they can be presented to be cleared after the sale.

Delayed Payment: Delayed payment may be available to producers still experiencing very dry conditions. Please speak to Lincoln prior to sale day.

Mobile Phones: Mobile phone reception is patchy; we will have signs at the best areas near the cattle yards.

Directions: Please see inside the back cover for directions.

Sale Bulls: Sale bulls have been prepared for their working lives. Consequently, they will not have the finishthat you may see at other sales. We are determined to ensure that our bulls can function and thrive in Central and Western Queensland.

Semen Rights: We have collected semen from a limited number of sale bulls, with no further call on the bulls. We retain 50% Semen Rights on lot 1 and lot 37. It is most likely that this will be absolutely irrelevant for virtually all buyers but please speak to Lincoln if you require any clarification.

BreedPlan: Bulls without carcase data will have it available on 20th September at www.marellan.com.au.

LocationMarellan Shorthorns is situated right near the tropicof Capricorn in Central Queensland. There are very few British Bred bull breeding herds at or above this line. This gives our herd unique environmental selection pressure (for a British Bred herd). Ourherd is in tick country. Tropically adapted ShorthornCattle – that’s our aim.

Fertility FocusMarellan Shorthorns has an uncompromising approach to fertility. In a breeding herd there isnothing as important as fertility. Our heifers areonly joined for 2 cycles and our cows must re-breed whilst lactating, having a calf each year. We believe it is necessary that our bulls are bred fromwithin this framework, so that they can go out andprovide genetic improvement for our clients herds. Improving the overall fertility of the northern cowherd is one of the biggest production gains availableto the industry. We want our bulls to be part of the solution rather than the problem.

Carcase & CoverageAt Marellan we believe that both carcase shape and the ability to cover that shape are essential. It isessential to have fat to handle the ups and downsof seasons and it is essential to have muscle to havea marketable product. We tend not to chase the veryhighest EMA bulls in our breeding program, as they are often regressive on fat and IMF. We try to select for a balance of fat, muscle and IMF. Maintainingexpectable levels of fat coverage also helps for meat quality and fertility. The ‘Grass Revolution’(see page 20) is a great reminder of the necessity tohave cattle that can finish well and quickly.

Meat QualityAt Marellan Shorthorns we believe that the consumer is the most important person in the beef industry. Meat quality should not be an optionalextra. We want Marellan bulls to help to increase MSA compliance rates and keep consumers happy with beef. We monitor and measure the meat quality of our herd by utilising the following;

1. Skin type: within Shorthorn Cattle smooth, softskin seems to be a very consistent indicator of meat quality. We came to this conclusion afterbeing part of selling beef direct to consumers at farmers markets for many years.

2. IMF scanning. We scan our cattle to measure and record IMF levels. This data is analysed ourselvesand submitted to BreedPlan.

3. Marble Fleck Scanning. The Marble fleck is the scanned measurement of the distribution of fat through the eye muscle. We use this informationto help us make breeding decisions in our herd.This is done when we scan for EMA & IMF. We believe that measuring marble fleck is more important than a simple IMF reading. Simply because good quality steak that is well marbledis actually about the distribution of the IMF. Some

Our Breeding Philosoph

Page 5 |

cattle have more fat blotches and some have anice even distribution of that fat. The steak with a nice distribution tastes far superior than steakwith blotches of fat that don’t dissolve in thecooking process. Marble fleck score are a scorefrom 1-5 in increments of 0.5. Sale bulls will bescanned for Marble fleck, this will be availablefrom 24th September.

4. Meatworks feedback sheet. As all our cattle areindividually sire identified we love to receive carcase feedback as it tells us a lot about theindividual performance of the animals.

Grass vs GrainGrass fatten or feedlot? We are seeking to breed cattle that are versatile, that excel in both grassfattening system and feedlots, to give more marketoptions. But we have a grass bias. Grass is theproduction system of nearly all breeding herds. Itis our ambition to select cattle that are not only produced on grass, but can finish on grass as well. High quality cattle can be versatile, top performers in the paddock and the feedlot. From our observation, cattle that are bred with more of a feedlot bias areoften slower to finish on grass. Marellan Shorthornsare bred to perform on grass; to breed, grow and finish within windows of opportunity. Our cattleare also award winning feedlot performers. Ourlast pen of 100 day fed cattle average over 2.6kg per day, with predominately 24-25month old steersaveraging 404kg dressed. What is great about thelast 12-18 months is that we are now seeing greaterrecognition of the grass-fed product. Our aim is – Grass with a feedlot option!

Bos Indicus BlendMarellan Shorthorn bulls are bred to use on Bos Indicus cows. We are trying to produce bulls with fertility, meat quality, and carcase with coverage. This combo can bring more market options,performance increases (through hybrid vigour),younger slaughter ages and better meat quality with the replacement female option for F1’s. It has beengreat to receive feedback from clients about their F1 progeny. Many report some of their best ever growth rates, increased meat quality and reduced slaughter ages. The Bos Indicus female is the backbone of the northern beef industry. We do not have an ambitionto change this, we just want our bulls to blend well with Bos Indicus cows to give our clients moremarket options and contribute to the improvement of their herds.

Selection PressureWhen it comes to breeding cattle, SelectionPressure is my favourite slogan. At the end of the day Environmental Selection Pressure and Selection decisions imposed by Cattlemen and women shape the type of cattle produced. We believe on puttingthe right amount of pressure on our cattle (i.e. only joining heifers for 2 cycles) then wait for the ‘cream to rise to the top’.

Performance RecordingAt Marellan Shorthorns we are committed to performance recording. We believe that wisedecisions are made by using the best information possible. We measure and record the weights of our cattle from birth. We submit this data to BreedPlan as well as analysing it ourselves. In addition toperformance traits, feedback sheets and scanning,we also assess the shape of calves at birth, dam udder quality, coat type and now the Tick MagnetScores (see Page 7).

Top 20 Scrotal. Carcase EBV’s avaliable from www.marellan.com.au from Sept. 20th.Quebec is a sound structured bull with both performance anddoing ability. Camelot 9055 is one of our best, she has a great strike rate in terms quality and has a flawless calving recordfrom 5 calves (so far). She has handled the ticks well.


WHEN IT COMES TO BREEDING CATTLE, my favourite word is selection pressure. Now that we are in a consistently

hot climate with ticks we are excited about the environmental selection pressure that will bring upon our herd. Not because we are excited about culling cows that we used to think were really valuable, but because of what we want our herd to become. We are trying to produce a more tropically adapted Shorthorn, one with more heat tolerance and a low tick burden.

Our Tick Magnet Score is an objective measurement to assess and compare the tick burden of individual cows in our herd. We believe it is essential to select our Shorthorn Cattle to have the lowest possible tick burden, to make them even more relevant for Central Queensland and beyond. Pictured is Marellan Molly 5027, an outstanding 10 year old cow, with a TMS of 1 and calving interval of 362 days (9 calves). She is now a donor cow. She is the great grandmother of lot 42. One of her daughters, Marellan Molly 9165 (P) will enter our ET program this spring.

The ‘White Flaggers’ are cows that put their hand up and say “get me out of here I can’t hack it” (not literally!). The majority of our white flaggers failed to put enough fat on when we did have some green grass, mainly because of their higher tick burden at that time. These cows are being removed from both ‘East End’ and our breeding program. We have found it quite encouraging that the TMS scores and also the ‘white flaggers’ run in family lines. We realise that we have a long way to go to achieve our aim of a Tropically Adapted Shorthorn Herd, but we are up for the challenge. Please note: NONE of the bulls in the sale are sons of white flaggers.

One of the most amazing things of 2015 has been the dramatic emergence of grass-fed brands and that the grass-fed price has exceeded the 100 day feedlot price. I cannot remember this previously happening. The product had been nearly always grass, but now ‘grass certification’has allowed our industry to access premiums. We have seen huge increases in the demand for both certified grass-fed and organic product.The Australian beef industry sits well positionedto provide for this increased demand.

With a strong feedlot sector, bullock pricesand continued increasing demand for grass-fed, organic, processing and boat cattle, the future looks good. It is an exciting time for theNorthern Beef Industry, there will obviously bemore up and downs in the future, but finally the consumer demand and our competitiveadvantages are coming together. From a breeding perspective, we will continue to seek to produce a product that is versatile, being able to be directed towards the best market option.

2015 has been a landmark year for the Australian Beef Industry. The lowering of the $Aus, emergence of new markets, increased demand in existing markets, reduced cow numbers both here and in the US has led to a situation where we have seen an unprecedented increase in the price paid for cattle. This has seen virtually all categories significantly go up in price and the EYCI go above the 550c mark in late July 2015.

Shorthorns and ColourThe Shorthorn Breed has arguably the most unique colours in the beef industry. The roan colour is a Shorthorn trademark. It is often a good idea to have some roans in your feeder steers to prove the Shorthorn content. Often a price premium will be paid for Shorthorn sired calves out of Bos Indicus cows, and even when there no price premium, there is often a weight premium as compared to many other cross breeding options. But thegreat thing about Shorthorn colours is that you have options. Red herds that want to remain pure red can do so by using red Shorthorn bulls.

Shorthorn Colour DescriptionsRed – an animal who has nearly all red hairs. Most red Shorthorn often have small patches of white on the underline or the tail.Red Little White (RLW) – a predominately red animal with a patch of white.Red & White (R&W) – an animal that has red and patches of white. These red and white patches are distinct and do not mix together.Roan – a colour pattern where the white and red hairs are mixed together. There is an infinite number of types of roan – no two roan animals are identical in colour.White – an all white animal. Some whites do still have darker tips, i.e. red looking ears and darker muzzles.

SHORTHORN COLOUR FAQs – here are a few questions we regularly get asked:Q. How many roan calves will I get if I use a

roan bull over my Droughtmaster cows?A. You should get 50% roan calves. But please note that some of those

roans will only have a small amount of roan.

Q. Can a Red bull throw roan calves (out of red cows)if he has roan parents?

A. The colour of a bulls parents is irrelevant, this red breeds like anyother red. The only addition is that if the red bull is used over roancows he will throw some progeny that are the same ‘type’ of roanas his roan ancestors.

Q. Can a Red Little White or a Red & White bullthrow roan calves when joined to a red cow?

A. No. Even a Red & White bull that has more white on his body thanred. In terms of roan progeny, RLW & R&W bulls breed just asthough they are solid red.

Q. Will I get some brindle calves over Brahman females?A. The short answer is yes. Both red and grey Brahmans crossed

with Shorthorns can produce some brindle progeny. Most of thesewill only have a minor amount. In male progeny, I suspect it istestosterone linked as sometimes the amount of brindle is reducedafter castration. The amount that you will get depends on the

pigmentation in your Brahmans. Some may have a bit of colour, but hopefully they may also be some of the heaviest, quickest finishing and most profitable cattle you have. Some steers fatteners havetold us they even prefer some bridle because they are such high performing cattle. Others have told us that their brindle cattle are the highest performing cows in their herd.

Q. Are Roan Shorthorns easier doing than Red Shorthorns?A. Yes and no. We suspect (as did many of the cattleman of the

past) that colour genes and doing ability genes could have somecorrelated link. This is my opinion, and it would be quite easy to find people who disagree. It will be interesting to see as the DNA technology gets better whether such a link can be proven. Please note; that does NOT mean that any given red is harder doing than any given roan. It simply means that the roan colour is a great asset to the breed and we will continue to produce cattle that are roan and have immediate roan ancestors. At the end of the day, we carefully select Shorthorn Cattle with doing ability, and commercial profitability, no matter what their colour.

Q. Is the Shorthorn white and the white Charolais the same colour?A. No. A White Charolais joined to a red Shorthorn will produce

a caramel colour, not a blending of red and white colours (the traditional roan).

The Feedlot OptionPICTURED ARE OUR 100 DAY FEED SHORTHORNS at Mort & Co’s Pinegrove Feedlot. On a rising market we chose to retain ownership through to slaughter. Our steers and heifers were virtually all 23-25 months at slaughter. The steers had an average gain of over 2.6kg per day and an average carcase weight of 404kg dressed. The heifer pen had a Dry Matter Conversion of 4.87:1 This was a magnificent result considering that they were heifers fed for 100 days and the pen contained our lowest performing cull heifers. They had an average dressed weight of 341kg.

“The Marellan cattle converted exceptionally well on feed. As pure British bred cattle without the aid of hybrid vigour the steers converted at 4.3:1 on a dry matter basis and the heifers 4.87:1. Their excellent structure, temperament combined with an easy doing, moderate frame made them the ideal feeder types. They were a credit to the Job family and I hope tosee more of these cattle come through the feedlot in the future.”
