Update On Debbie, Criss & Chainy

Wingham is at present enjoying a very good Spring. Pasture is plentiful and the cattle are showing the benefit of the conditions.

Whine Not Debutante is now 9 1/2 months old and presenting pretty well at about 220 kgs. She's responded well to halter training and seems to enjoy it but she doesn't lead with much grace!


Whine Not Criss Cross will be 1 year old in 2 or 3 weeks' time. At around 270 kgs she is starting to express the quality of her pedigree. Her docility is exemplary and I anticipate that she has a long and distinguished breeding career ahead of her using the best AI sires I can source.


Whine Not Chain Store will be 1 year old in 4 weeks time. The combined blood lines from RAB Mr Efficiency S126A and AMI 635E (Flor de Mayo) seem to have worked well and allow plenty of freedom for him to be used by most Australian Senepol herds without concern for inbreeding. He's doing very nicely at about 340 kgs. (P.S. Chainy was sold early in 2009 to an organic beef producer at Moorland who has renamed him "Windsor".)
