2011

2011 show season started very slowly after all the rain and it was difficult to present cattle at their best soon after the floods however we started our year at Proston and came away with Junior Champion European bull with Midas E078 and then Junior Champion F emale with URDiamond Fancy owned in conjunction with Glenn Perrett and Ken and Julie Thompson.  As we did not have a senior bull it was up to the females to do the job. Ebony Lodge Sheraton owned in partnership with the same people took Senior and Grand Champion European cow with Midas Opal E009 taking Reserve Senior Cow. Fancy took Reserve Champion European Female behind her mother Sheraton. In the Interbreed Sheraton took 3rd with Fancy 4th.

The next show was Murgon and we came away with a mixed result as judging followed a similar pattern all day. We took 1st place in a number of classes but did not succeed to any champions. The Nanango Show was similar again as it was difficult to break the dominance of a particular breed however Midas Opal E009 stood out.

The next show was not until May and it was in Biggenden where I had taken Supreme Exhibit the last 2 years. As the Gympie Show was that week I split the team and some stayed at home to tackle the Gympie show instead of both. Biggenden proved yet again to be a happy hunting ground for the stud as Midas Windlass E020 took the Junior Heifer section which is Interbreed and then went on to take the Supreme Exhibit under the Judging of Jon Mercer.

The Gympie Show was my second time there and this year the team went really well in the Gelbvieh section as well as the Interbreed sections. Midas E078 took Junior Champion with Midas E029 Reserve Junior Champion Bull and then Midas Windlass E019 took her class between 21-24 months and Midas Windlass E020 winning her class 18-21 months.  

Midas Windlass E020 then was crowned Junior Champion Heifer. Midas Windlass D008 with calf at foot Windlass G005 took the Senior Champion Cow and then won the Grand Champion Gelbvieh Cow over Windlass E020. The next day the Interbreed Championships were conducted and Midas stood proud with Midas E078 taking 3rd in the Junior Bull and then Midas Windlass E020 taking the Supreme as Champion Interbreed Junior Heifer – Midas Windlass D008 stood 3rd in her class. In the Breeders Group, Midas missed first place by 1 point.

Midas had another successful day at the EKKA with URDiamond Miss Fancy owned in conjunction with Glenn Perrett and Ken and Julie Thompson claimed the Reserve Junior heifer champion. Midas Francisco performed really well and was presented with the Junior Champion Bull award. Then it was Midas Windlass D008 turn taking out the Senior Champion Cow award. Midas then topped off the day with equal first in the most successful exhibitor.

Midas Electric at 12 months and 680kg with EMA 112cm and fat 7/5 could claim only second place in the 12-16 months age group. Midas D-Bolt and Midas D19 took second and third respectively in the over 20 month class for Bulls. Midas capped the day by being the most successful exhibitor.

2009

2009 was an exceptional year for Midas Gelbvieh in the show ring. The year started with Midas Collosus having his first outing since being out with the cows last spring at Sydney Royal. He took the Senior and Grand champion Gelbvieh and culminated the show with being awarded the INTERBREED CHAMPION Bull of Sydney Royal 2009 adding to his success as Champion Bull at the EKKA 2008.

Beef 2009 started a week later and Collosus stood tall again and took Senior and Grand Champion Gelbvieh bull.  Midas had a very successful show with taking the Calf Champion Bull with Midas D-Bolt and Reserve Junior Champion heifer with Midas Windlass C010.

A week later I took a team to the Biggenden Show with great success.  Midas Windlass C010 was awarded the Reserve Champion Cow and Midas Cossack was awarded the Junior Champion Bull, Grand Champion Bull and finally the Supreme Exhibit of the Show.

In July Midas took 5 bulls to the Ag-Grow sale at Emerald and were very successful with a 100% clearance with all going to new customers in the Gelbvieh breed. The next assignment was the EKKA where Midas Collosus was defending his crown from 2008. He did this with flying colours and took out Senior and Grand Champion Gelbvieh bull. Midas D-Bolt took out his 16-20 months class as well.


The Gelbvieh National Sale was our next assignment where Midas presented 4 females and 6 bull lots. We were very successful with all the females selling and 3 out 6 of the bulls selling. The highlights were Midas Collosus selling for $13,000 for ¾ share and full possession and Midas Cossack with second top price of $8,000. It appears that poll bulls are in demand and next years crop of bulls will all be polled.

Midas Gelbvieh continued the success of 2009 by taking out the jackpot at the Dubbo Junior Heifer Show from approx 150 entries by Midas Windlass D008 her first ever showing – she is a full sister to our great champion bull Midas Collosus C002 who is breeding very successfully in the Midas herd.

2008

2008 saw Midas Gelbvieh exhibiting in the local shows as well as shows in NSW with Midas Calista taking the championship at Glen Innes and again Reserve Junior Champion at Sydney. Midas Collossus faired well at Sydney winning his class 12-15 months and then coming 3rd in the interbreed at Warialda at 14 months of age.  Midas Gelbvieh performed well again taking out Champion bull with Midas Collossus and Reserve champion cow with Midas Calista at the EKKA. This continued the success of the stud having had Champion cow for 2006 and 2007 and Reserve champion bull for 2006 and 2007.

2007

In 2007 Midas Brutus won the Champion Gelbvieh Bull at the Toowoomba Royal Show and has just won the Champion European Bull and Midas Miss Wind the Champion European Cow at the Emerald show.

Since the success at Emerald, Midas Opal Z011 took out the champion cow at the EKKA with Midas Brutus taking Reserve champion bull. After the EKKA our next show was Wondai with Midas Miss Wind taking the Supreme exhibit for the show the second year running with Midas Calista taking junior heifer champion and also 5th in the interbreed at 6 months of age.
