Boonyouin bulls for the Power of Red Lot 13 Boonyouin Matrix Matrix is out of my great Robin Hood cow Trix G20 who has produced Boonyouin’s top priced bulls at the first 2 Power of Red sales. G20 is an ET daughter of Trevone Park Trix B2, one of the foundation females of Boonyouin, and a terrific female line of cattle. Matrix has exceptional EBVs to balance his long, sleek coated frame, with good feet and bone.

Lot 20 Boonyouin Mobster
Mobster is an easy doing bull. He is a typical example of Boonyouin’s previous Hitman bulls offered at sale - moderate framed, really balanced confirmation and packed with meat & muscle after a light prep. Ideal for heifers. |
August 2018
The catalogue is finished and at the printers as I write this. We have 31 quality bulls, 10 heifers and 12 genetic packages for the sale this year, lining up for what will presumably be a buyers sale given the current climate.
2017 Power of Red Sale results
What a difference 12 months makes when it comes to the weather. Last year's sale was conducted in the mud, but it was a dry, dusty affair on Saturday 9 September for the 3rd annual Power of Red Sale. With cattle prices on a downward trend, and very little rain in July, August and September, the sale was down on last year's exceptional sale, but most bulls sold and females & genetics were well received as well.
Boonyouin bulls sold well, averaging $5,300 for 4 bulls, topping the Bull Section, at $8,000 for Boonyouin Legend L21 (pictured) selling to Proston grazier Edwin Cooke.

Boonyouin Magneto M4 sold to local graziers Ken & Carolyn Stone of Burrandowan for $4,500.
Magneto has some progeny due at Boonyouin in early 2018 to a handful of show cows - should be something to look forward to...
Yarraman cattleman Tim Stevenson picked up both the remaining Boonyouin bulls, to run with his Limousin x cows.

POWER OF RED II - 17 September 2016
Boonyouin Red Angus wishes to thank all the buyers, under-bidders & Red Angus supporters who attended the 2nd annual Power of Red Sale last Saturday. After 2 days of wet & windy weather, Sale day was a glorious sun-filled morning although mud boots were a pre-requisite for pre-sale cattle viewing.
Thank-you to Blake Dawson & his crew in the back yards for helping the sale run smoothly, Scott & Wendy Ferguson for the use of their wonderful sale complex in trying conditions, and of course the enormous efforts of the sale committee, vendors and everyone who helped contribute to a successful sale.
Results:
Boonyouin bulls sold to a top of $9,000 3 times - for Lot 13 Kapital K9, Lot 18 Karnage K3 and Lot 20 Kennedy K69 & averaged $7,875. Boonyouin heifers sold to a top of $3,000 for lot 44 the lovely Molly L12 & averaged $2,750

2015
Summer 2014-15
We've had an average summer season with 160mm falling in both December 14 & January 15. A nice change from the last 18months of drought. With so much of Queensland still suffering with the drought, I'm grateful for the rainfall but really feel for so many QLDers still doing it tough.
July 2014
The team is progressing well. More than I can say for the Winter season. Around 15ml for the last 3 months over about 5 small falls.
Blake and another friend Sarah Shaw came over again for a clipping/practice afternoon on the weekend before Gatton Show. My little J calves are maturing nicely into yearlings.
2014 Show Team
Even with such a tough summer, I managed to get a young show team together in Autumn.
With the help of Blake & Erin from Dawson's Red Angus, we prepared a handful of young ET bulls & heifers by Red Pie Game On 9109, Te Mania Red Label & the pick of the home bred calves by Boonyouin Foreman F21.
2014 - Drought -> Rain -> Dry
The summer of 2013-14 was a cruel one for all of Qld & NSW. The ongoing dry, coupled with below avg cattle prices and rising production costs has meant the last 12 months have been a real struggle.
We then had some crucial rain at the end of March and a late start to Winter, which allowed a brief flush of pasture growth and eased pressure on the cattle market. I weaned in Jan-Feb this year, so most of the breeder herd has had time to recover from a terrible summer.

Brisbane Ekka 2013
Well my first Ekka is done and dusted. It was hard work and a lot of fun all together.
The cattle behaved themselves and it was a buzz to be out in the main arena leading around cattle that I had bred, raised and prepared myself.
Blake Dawson was again a big help - I would recommend him to anyone wanting help with breaking in and preparing show cattle.
Looking forward to next year's Ekka already!
Gatton Show - Supreme Female Exhibit to Boonyouin Trix G16
On a rainy Saturday in July, Trix G16 achieved the great result of Supreme Female exhibit of Gatton Show.
It was a fair way to travel to a show, but with the Ekka less than 3 weeks away, I thought we needed one more hit out.
Hitman H7 had settled in well to the show life and behaved like a gentleman. Dina G65 showed herself nicely too.
But is was Trix's day, and in the pouring rain we were sashed as Champions.
I was ably assisted by John & Marion Burger & also Melinda Hoey (Clearview Red Angus). I'm glad they were there to help me and to reassure me that it was not a dream.
June
Time to break in my first bull. I chose Hitman H7, an unhandled 10mth old embryo calf by Northline Fat Tony out of Trix B2.
With the help of Blake Dawson from Dawson Red Angus we started him on his journey to show bull.

May - Showing venture started
Kingaroy show was the venue for my first ever show outing with 3 home-bred heifers.
Thanks to Leegra Fitting Service for doing all the work & preparing them so beautifully, so I just had to turn up and look good...
We had a great debut, with the baby of the 3 girls (Red Dina G65) winning the 16-20 mth heifer class and Trix G16 placing 3rd in the same class of 6.
Dina G65 went on to win Junior Champion British Heifer!!
