World Brahman Congress Rockhampton 2016

We were thrilled to support the Commercial Show and Sale at the World Brahman Congress in May 2016 by entering a pen of 10 purebred grey Brahman steers.

We were even more thrilled to be awarded 1st place for our pen. This win certainly set the tone for us that guaranteed a great week of “all things Brahman”!

As our preferred method of selling bulls is grass-fed in the paddock…not grain fed…we are always keen to support the commercial aspects of these cattle shows We do however give credit to those exhibitors who show their magnificent bulls up in the show ring thereby providing a rich source of media publicity to our Brahman breed.

Beef 2012

When the opportunity arose to help promote Brahman beef at Beef 2012, we were thrilled to be involved.

10 steers were sent to Melbrig Feedlot to be finished with 90 more steers provided by nine more Brahman stud breeders.

The finished product was put through the highly successful Brahman Stonegrill Restaurant on site at Beef 2012 Rockhampton where over 1000 steaks a day were served to very satisfied customers. This was a wonderful promotion.

Champion Females produce Champion Bulls

Boogalgopal is well known for the quality of our female lines. For the past 15 years, we have been in the winners circle at the North Burnett John James Prime Cattle Show including Champion Pen 2004, 2005, 2007. The top priced Pen of Charbray and Brahman cows was also awarded to Boogal Cattle Co in 2008.
