Congratulations to Hanuta Pty Ltd, Caroona, selling 63 Angus cows PTIC to have their 3rd calf for $1405 on the Auction Plus Sale on Thursday 21st April 2011.

Clunie Range is well aware through their extensive feedlot history with their own steer progeny and cull females that their herd is high marbling.

In April 2011 Clunie Range completed the ultrasound scanning of the “E” drop heifers with some excellent results. Clunie Range is always careful not to quote raw data out of context as a marketing exercise, but the results of these heifers give us confidence in our breeding program.

The heifers were scanned, weighed and preg tested over two days:
• 41% of the heifers had a raw scan of 7.0% or higher
• 82% of the heifers had a raw scan of over 6.0%
During April we commenced our annual pregnancy testing program with the Inverell Vet Clinic, and out of 355 “E” drop heifers our pregnancy rate was 98.2%
