STUD ACHIEVEMENTS
Stud Achievements
The Show Ring
Minnie-Vale stopped showing cattle in the year 2015. The show ring has been very good to us over the years and we certainly would not have been able to build up the Stud's profile and reputation without doing 23 years on the road with showing. We certainly miss the interaction with people from all different breeds but we have now decided after achieving everything we can in the show ring that our concentration is selling our bulls and giving the best service we can to our commercial clientele, which have looked after us for many many years. We continue to look forward on the journey ahead in breeding the cattle we love and hearing about the successes our commercial and stud clientele has in the future.2006
Minnie-vale Quist purchased by Winchester Charolais Orange NSW at our 2004 sale as an unjoined hiefer. Winchester then exhibited her at Sydney royal 2006 with calf at foot and achieved supreme Charolais exhibit and interbreed champion female Sydney royal 2006. Quist also achieved supreme exhibit Bendigo inaugural show Victoria 2006.
2002

A Sundance daughter this year achieved grand champion female and was also part of the winning interbreed champion of champions team at the royal Brisbane Ekka 2008 owned and exhibited by Mongool Charolais.

1993
Junior champion bull Brisbane Ekka Minnie-vale Lancelot sold for $10,000 @ Melbourne Royal the same year.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
Minnie-vale exhibits cattle at Sydney Royal each year as well as cattle on the northern show circuit usually Tamworth, Bingara, Baraba and Inverell shows. A total of 5 shows done annually. Unfortunately Brisbane Ekka at this stage is not currently attended as our 'on farm bull and female sale' falls close to the Ekka show dates.
It is important to note less emphasis is put on showing cattle these days, our aim is to concentrate on putting together good lines of Charolais bulls and females with good temperament, structure, fatcover, and high intra muscular fat especially in sale bulls.
