The Wattlewood Angus team is bringing its dream to life with a purpose-built 80-acre bull sale complex.
Modeled on their existing home setup, the site features six small paddocks designed to pen sale bulls for upcoming events, including Beef Week on Saturday, January 31, the MLA Bredwell Fedwell Workshop on February 10, and the annual on-farm bull sale on Thursday, March 5.
The Glovers have constructed a shed with roller doors, allowing airflow on warm days or full closure when the weather turns inclement. Visitors will enjoy a welcoming, homely atmosphere, with food and drinks served in the beautiful repurposed silos on site.
Beef Week will showcase 35 “cream of the crop” bulls, all fully vaccinated, health-checked, and semen-tested.
“Being part of the industry-backed Immune Ready program gives us confidence that the bulls are ready to work effectively and efficiently.
They are parent-verified, so clients
can make an informed selection of their next top sire to improve their herd,” Fiona Glover said.
Following a credible third-place finish in last year’s Beef Week Heifer Challenge, the Glovers are proud of their female breeding herd,
which contributes 50 per cent of the bulls’ genetics.
“Getting the female herd right is key to producing bulls that just work and get the job done,” Fiona said. Providing opportunities for producers to improve their operations is central to Wattlewood Angus.
The upcoming MLA Bredwell Fedwell Workshop will teach attendees about genetic selection and maximising herd performance.
The property will come alive again for the Wattlewood Angus Annual On-Farm Bull Sale on Friday, March 5, from 4pm.
Visitors are invited to enjoy a cuppa during Beef Week and are encouraged to ask questions about the bulls or the breeding program.
Those unable to attend can contact Fiona Glover to arrange a suitable time.
