2 50 Years of Excellence! Vicky and I wish to heartily welcome you to the 2017 Mequatling Angus bull and female sale Mequatling Angus is celebrating 50 years of Excellence in the Angus business! Mequatling Angus is proud to mention some of the unique Mequatling collection of achievements that span a commitment to driving the Angus Industry in South Africa over the past 50 years: The South African Auction all-time record holder for both Red and Black Angus cattle. The South African Commercial Cattle farmer of the year The Free State Farmer of the year The South African Stud Breeder of the year The worldwide top priced embryo offering at the World Angus Forum Supreme Beef Champions and Runners-ups at the 3 major shows exhibited, the Rand, The Royal & Central Shows, between 1982 to Mequatling Angus no longer shows cattle but still rejoices with every Angus success in the showring. The South African performance testing and carcass evaluation leaders, accounting for more than half of the official carcass measurements in the country. Angus cattle are our only business. At Mequatling we try our level best to produce cattle that excel in reproduction, milking and growth as well as carcass quality, all combined together in an eye-appealing package. We believe that performance data should back the cattle and not just opinions. In order to mean anything, pedigrees and performance data need to be backed by DNA parentage verification. Preoccupation with real-world genuine performance thus remains the primary focus at Mequatling. As always, we are selling every pregnant 6 year old female no exceptions! We also are adding some younger females to mark this special occasion of the 50 th Anniversary Sale. The cows on offer are a gorgeous group of powerful broodcows and are tremendously functional - the average reproduction index for the cows on sale is a mind-blowing 121 indexes. (More importantly, the lowest reproduction index of any cow on sale is an outstanding 117 index). There are some very special donor prospects included in this year s offering. The selection of bulls continues to provide excellent Butt, Body and Balance. All bulls have performed on South Africa s largest growth test and carcass evaluation. The selection process has been strict and only the top 36% of bulls born in 2015 are on sale today. Enjoy the day! Philip Barnard 2

3 50 Jaar van Uitnemendheid Dit is vir my en Vicky aangenaam om almal by Mequatling en by die 2017 Mequatling Angus bul en 6-jaar oud vroulike veiling te verwelkom - Mequatling Angus vier 50 jaar van Uitnemendheid in die Angus bedryf. Mequatling Angus stel met trots n versameling unieke prestasies bekend, hierdeur word die toewyding tot die Suid-Afrikaanse Angusbedryf die afgelope 50 jaar onderstreep: Die Suid-Afrikaanse Veilingsrekordhouer vir beide Rooi en Swart Angus beeste. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Kommersiële Beesboer van die jaar Die Vrystaat Boer van die Jaar The Suid-Afrikaanse Stoetteler van die Jaar Die Wêreldwye hoogste prys embrio aanbieding tydens die Angus Wêreldforum Opperste Bees Kampioene en Naaswenners by die 3 vername skoue deelgeneem, die Rand, Royal en Sentrale Skoue, tussen 1982 en Mequatling Angus skou nie meer beeste nie, maar is verheug oor elke Angus prestasie in die ring. Die Suid-Afrikaanse prestasie-toetsing en karkas evaluasie leiers, verantwoordelik vir meer as die helfte van die offisiële karkasmeting in die land. By Mequatling probeer ons ons uiterste bes om beeste te produseer wat absoluut uitblink in reproduksie, melk en groei sowel as karkaskwaliteit, alles gekombineer in n aantreklike pakket. Ons glo dat prestasie-data die beeste moet rugsteun en nie net opinies nie. Vir enige stamboom of prestasie-data om sin te te maak, moet dit met DNS bevestig word. Hierdie prestasie doelgerigtheid bly steeds ons primêre fokus. Soos altyd, verkoop ons elke dragtige 6-jaar oud vroulike dier geen uitsondering nie! Ons verkoop ook n aantal jonger vroulike diere om n stempel op hierdie spesiale geleentheid van ons 50 ste Bestaansjaar Veiling te druk. Hierdie is n groep kragtige koeie wat geweldig funksioneel is die gemiddelde reproduksie-indeks vir die koeie te koop vandag is n indrukwekkende 121. (Belangriker, die laagste reproduksie-indeks op die veiling is n uitstaande 117 indeks). Daar is n klompie baie spesiale spoel moontlikhede in die aanbieding. Die seleksie van bulle gaan voort om bulle met uitstekende Butt, Body & Balance te voorsien. Alle bulle het op Suid-Afrika se grootste groeitoets en karkasskandering presteer. Die seleksieproses was weereens baie streng en slegs die top 36% van bulle gebore in 2015 word vandag verkoop. Geniet die dag! Philip Barnard 3

14 (Red gene carrier) The Black Angus cows carrying the red-gene can be used both by Red Angus breeders and by Black Angus breeders: If they are mated to a black bull (that doesn t carry the red gene) then 100% of the progeny will be black. If these cattle are mated to a Red Angus bull, then the progeny will be Red on half the occasions and Black the other half, on average. As the Red gene is a non-diluter gene, there is no occurrence of off-colours i.e., the progeny are either totally black or totally red. You decide. These Red gene carrier cattle offer an exciting opportunity to bring new and exciting genetics into the other colour code.
