The Senepol breed had a small but quality showing at Beef Australia 2015 in Rockhampton. Our new member Henry Pisaturo showed his first registered animal, Veejay Downs Jigsaw, and they were awarded the grand champion bull. Geoff Maynard showed the grand champion female with his cow, Five Star Katness.
Spectators and exhibitors were treated to a most educational and entertaining display of judging thanks to Terry Nolan, who operates Nolan Meats at Gympie. Terry took the microphone into the ring and commentated ‘on the run’, giving an analysis of each animal as he went. It was a wonderful insight into the mental processes of comparing each animal, with the relative pro’s and con’s of each animal for a particular market or environment.
I believe as a society, we should look at engaging Terry with other Senepol events. Terry has an interest in the breed and uses it in his commercial programme. After the conclusion of judging at Beef Australia 2015, Terry actually purchased the bull he put up for grand champion.
