Ribbons all round at the Ekka 2024
The Station Angus took a small show team of four to the Ekka this year. Emily attended with our lovely bull 'Buster' The Station King T106, and heifers June U49, Umbra U78 and Economyx T124.
It was ribbons all round, with Buster placing second in his class and in the line-up for Reserve Champion bull, and our heifers all placing in their classes.
Thank you to those who helped prepare and care for our cattle. The Ekka was definitely worth the trip, a wonderful atmoshphere, great people and we are looking forward to returning in 2025.
S&W Seed Company Australia
In early 2024 S&W Seed Company Australia planted a trial plot at 'Marathon', which included species such as Winter Wheat, Winter Oats and Rye Grass.
On Thursday 20 June 2024, Shane, Gavin and Chris returned to look at how these species had grown and were happy with the results. Since planting the plot has been grazed twice and was growing back well.
We look forward to welcoming them back in Spring to take another look at their trial.
Success at Walcha Show
Our results at the 2024 Walcha Show exceeded expectations.
The Station Angus exhibited three heifers – The Station June T56, Jean T102 and Economyx T124, along with our lovely bull The Station King T106.
Accolades for the day included winning Junior Champion Heifer, the Nairn Park Trophy, the Ivy Bank Trophy, Supreme Exhibit with T106 and the Chris Lisle Memorial Trophy for the most successful exhibitor.
