Super Square Sundays
Super Square Sundays is modelled on the very popular Beef Week concept.
Breeders are opening their studs for one Sunday in April, May, September and October 2010, to let people find out first hand what Square Meaters are like in the paddock, to show off herds and to sell cattle in a no-obligation open day environment. People who are curious but don't want to be pressured in the same way, as they might be if they ring an individual member and ask to show them their herd.

MISTY MEADOWS
Misty Meadows Square Meaters Stud in NE Victoria has had a great spring, after a few rather disappointing years. Not only has the rain been coming down in steady patterns since June, we've had a lot of fun and success with our Square Meaters. A visit to the farm by Ernie and Fiona of the Woolaringa Stud inspired us to "get cracking" and spread the word in our area which is a very black angus valley, I might add. We decided to enter a pair of cows with calves at foot into the local Alexandra Show, Class 4 - Progeny most suitable for Feedlot or Domestic Market. Being first timers at this and with nerves rattling, cows bottom scrubbed, calves all shiny and cute, off we went. Could have blown us over with a feather when we won the Class!!! Everything else was won by angus cattle, but we'll be back in force next year.
Two weeks later on 29th November, we held our first Super Sunday open day - again loads of preparatory work but such good value. Once word got out about our Open Day those who had been thinking of buying our Square Meaters promptly did so prior to the day. We had visitors from NSW and regional Victoria including Kyneton, Kilmore, Mount Evelyn and our local area, with the potential of new customers and new friends.
Throughout all this, our "girls" kept on calving with 30 healthy new arrivals, sired by Yarra, Bob and Bounty. Check our website www.mistymeadows.com.au for pictures.
We wish everyone a very merry Christma holiday season, and a happy and successful 2010.

Toowoomba Ag Show.
Hain Rural Enterprises achieved 3rd place in the Ag Show carcass competition in a lineup of approximately 20 middle weight carcasses. This was after their Square Meaters steer had fallen off a badly made ramp while entering the Ag show site. The fall had an obvious affect on the steers finished carcass, yet, was still able to attain a placing in spite of the mishap. Congratulations to Paul and Ayleen Hain and also to Ashleigh Horne who exhibited the steer through the Pittsworth State High Schools Agricultural programme.
Angus Notes: Frame Score 4 popular in the USA
A few comments from a prominent Queensland Angus breeder are worth some consideration for Square Meaters breeders. The mentioned breeder has previously shown disdain for the Lowline end of the Angus spectrum and is a keen breeder of cattle in the larger frame size. However, in a recent newsletter from the Angus breeder in question; mention was made of a recent information and genetics gathering trip to the USA. To his surprise, much of the US Angus genetics now consists of cattle with a frame score of 4.
