DECEMBER 2015 SOCIETY of AUSTRALIA HOME of the AUSTRALIAN SHORTHORN (MS – Ed 17) OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE BEEF SHORTHORN DECEMBER 2015 SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA HOME OF THE AUSTRALIAN SHORTHORN (MS – Ed 17) Cow and calf at Malton, Finley. Calf sired by Kamilaroi Meat Packer The Federal Secretary Phone: 0419 317 990 Beef Shorthorn Society of Australia Fax: (03) 9333 3774 PO Box 2066 Greenvale Vic 3059 Email: [email protected] As Beef Shorthorn and Australian Shorthorn breeders, we are always searching for the next joining bull. Sometimes we worry that we lack enough options. The Federal Council of the Society decided to do something positive about the matter. It surveyed present and past members, asking whether they had collected semen from a bull or bulls over the years; if yes, the name of each bull; and whether semen collected was licensed or unlicensed. The response was amazing. It was established that 12 members have in storage semen collected from no less than 57 bulls. In 9 instances, the semen is licensed. In all other cases, it is unlicensed. In 6 cases, the semen had been imported. In one case, semen had been collected from a bull imported as an embryo. In 18 instances, the semen in storage was collected from bulls before 1990 - bulls of pure Australian bloodlines, in the sense that the last imported influence must have been from English and Scottish bulls imported in the 1950s. This semen, often collected from bull which were Royal Show Champions, and almost always collected from bulls which were highly influential sires, is an extremely valuable resource. It can never be replicated. The bulls from which the semen was collected most often had in their pedigrees the bloodlines of studs which were prominent at the time, but which have now ceased operation. Used with females which now have some 25 years of American and Irish bulls in their pedigrees, this semen offers, in effect, an outcross. In 39 instances, the semen in storage derives from bulls whose imported semen profoundly influenced the Beef Shorthorn breed – Hilltuck Mick R7, GVR Tradition 966, GVR Prime Time 310 and AKF Monopoly are represented by sons, and grandsons. It also includes Tradition, Prime Time, Velvet Leader and Monopoly semen, and as well semen from two Irish bulls – Annaly Leo and Kilkelly Major – used successfully by the North Eastern Stud in Tasmania. The sons produced by that imported semen have often been Royal Show Champions and – more importantly - influential sires. Their semen is another extremely valuable resource. A list of the bulls the semen which is in storage, except in the few cases of imported semen the herd book numbers and dates of birth of the bulls, and in each case the name and telephone number of the owner(s) of the semen, appears at the foot of this article. In the case of imported semen, there is simply, in brackets ‘Imp’ after the bull’s name. Where there are multiple owners of semen, the letter ‘M’ appears after the date of birth of the bull. Where semen is licensed, the letter ‘L’ appears. In the vast majority of cases, it will be easy for members to research the bloodlines which the semen contains; and in all cases, if some particular semen seems likely to be very useful, to approach the owner(s). The Society’s herd book regulations permit a bull to have multiple owners, up to the limit prescribed by each State or Territory. A share in a bull may be represented by a semen interest – commonly a particular number of straws. That is very relevant in the case of unlicensed semen. Licensed semen, on the other hand, can be sold by the straw, and ownership attaches to the straw only. There is no certainty, in any particular case, that the owner(s) of semen will agree to sell all or part of what is in storage. But there is a good chance that this will be agreed to, and enquiry should definitely be made. This really is an opportunity like no other.

Conditions are tough and dry to say the least, with not much hay being cut. Having said this all adversities are surely overcome by the buoyant state of the beef cattle market. Well overdue of course, and globally driven which should see current price levels making for a good period to come. I would like to thank my fellow councillors, our Secretary and Treasurer as well as Andrea Falls (auditor) for their hard work and support over the past 12 months. The Society finds itself in good shape across all of the traditional benchmarks being finances, membership and positive breed exposure. I would also like to thank those members who have promoted both breeds at Royal and country shows throughout the year.

The Victorian Greyhound Awards was a great showcase of the commitment, passion and hard work of the good people who have driven the sport’s achievements and that will underpin the journey of reform we need to take to secure its long term future.

  • Our Purpose at Work: Serving Organisations That Do Good
    June 2017 Right Lane Consulting Our purpose at work: serving organisations that do good Helping organisations that do good do better is central to our management consulting practice. The work we do with for profit and not for profit organisations that play a constructive role in creating a better world is above all else why we come to work and what gives us meaning and fulfilment in our professional lives. In last year’s Our Purpose at Work, we concentrated on the good work of some of our not for profit clients. In 2016 we were fortunate enough to serve close to 100 clients that do good— for profit and not for profit and clients that are having a positive social impact. Here is a summary of the challenges we helped some of them solve, relating to their role and purpose, strategy and growth, organisational alignment, governance and stakeholder engagement, and ideation and innovation. Role and purpose AFL SportsReady is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that helps young Australians develop careers through traineeships and educational opportunities. In 2016, we facilitated a workshop with the board and executive team that explored the future direction of the company, the climate within vocational education, the partnership with the AFL and the next three-year strategy. The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria is a member based organisation that promotes and celebrates agriculture through the Royal Melbourne Show, administering food, wine and livestock awards and managing the Melbourne Showgrounds, which hosts events all year round. Right Lane has had a long history of serving the RASV and in the past year helped its board to reach the position that the Show is a mass-consumer event that enables it to reinvest in its core purpose relating to the advancement of agriculture.
