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.
