Magnificen­t line-up of bulls and heifers ready for purchase at Mt Ararat stud on Sunday, February 4

-

On the back of a very successful Beef Week last year, Mount Ararat Simmental Stud Principal, John Leek is geared up for the 2018 event which will feature females and bulls for sale at his property at Nar Nar Goon.

“Beef Week last year was great and hopefully with females for sale it will be even bigger this year.” Mr Leek said.

Mr Leek has been farming cattle his whole life, but it has only been in the last eight years that he has become serious about pure bred Simmentals.

“The genetics for sale at Mt Ararat Simmentals are as good as any in Australia. Most of them with the Woonallee genetics within the cattle.”

“With the prices of females commercial­ly averaging around the $2,500 mark, now is the time to choose carefully which bull you use next.

“With Sim Angus and Sim Herefords being all the rage at saleyards, a Simmental bull could suit your commercial herd and make all the difference.”

Mr Leek will have Mt Ararat Kilimanjar­o for sale at Beef Week. The bull is 3.5 years old.

“He is one of the most impressive Simmental bulls I have ever seen,” said John.

“All our Simmental cattle will be on display with the opportunit­y to purchase the best genetics possible. We have an amazing line-up of Simmental bulls, cows and heifers all registered.

A light lunch and refreshmen­ts are available.

We will have a marquee and seating for people who come to enjoy the day.” Mr Leek added.

Visit 126 Mt Ararat North Road, Nar Nar Goon to see what Mr Leek and his team are breeding and producing.
