After finally receiving some much needed rain across the region we were forced to cancel our sale scheduled for Thursday 15 December. Our next sale will be Monday 9 January and at this stage is a Store and Female sale, however we will keep our clients posted via our website closer to the date. As always, weather can affect our sale dates and we will confirm with meatworks buyers in the lead up to the sale on their attendance. Anyone is welcome to check with our office in early January to confirm dates and sale types. 2011 has been a terrific year for the cattle market. After a rough start with flood damage the country mostly responded well and put a lot of producers in a prime position to take advantage of the high prices. We would like to extend our gratitude to our clients who have supported Burnett Livestock & Realty throughout the year. We hope you have a safe and peaceful Christmas with plenty of calves to brand and just the right amount of rain at the right times. We look forward to working with you again in 2012 for another strong and rewarding year. We’d also like to take the opportunity to say thank you to our team of staff both in the office, at the yards and in the field. We really do have a great team of people working together at Burnett Livestock & Realty to ensure we achieve good prices, treat cattle well and get you the information you need. Thank you to our team for a job well done in 2011.
Office Closed Our office will only be closed on Friday 23 December and on public holidays over the Christmas/New Year break.
New Year Account Check As we head into 2012 it is timely to ask our clients to do an account check. Do we have you correct account details (ABN, GST status, banking details etc). The accuracy of this information affects how quickly we can process your purchases and sales and ultimately how quickly we can pay you. Feel free to call our office to check your details. Email Reports Did you know we email vendor and buyer reports on the evening of a sale? If we have your current email address we can send your purchases/sales information to you in a PDF document as soon as we finalise the sale. Talk to our administration staff to ensure we have your email address in the system.

Buffalo fly control in cattle Buffalo fly are starting to become a real problem for cattle and producers. It affects productivity and health and can pose as a welfare issue. The following information is from the Qld Department of Primary Industry website and is meant as a guide only. If using chemical to control buffalo fly please be aware of chemical withholding periods and export slaughter intervals. Only use products that are meant for use on cattle as other products could have residue issues for you and your property. Control strategies The current buffalo fly control strategies aim to:
Available options Using non-chemical control wherever possible Control fly without chemicals such as the Buffalo Fly Tunnel Trap, dung beetles and tolerating some fly burdens will help to minimise resistance problems and reduce possible residue risks. For where chemical control is necessary Monitor fly numbers. Also, delay treatment of beef cattle until fly worry is obvious on the focus animals (those most susceptible to flies, such as bulls) or when animals are carrying in excess of 200 flies per animal (100 per side). High producing dairy cattle may require treatment at lower levels of infestation. Using self treatment methods Use the effective OP chemicals in backrubbers or insecticidal ear tags during the peak buffalo fly season. Using OP Sprays OP chemicals can be utilised for opportunistic spray treatments when cattle are in yards for other husbandry purposes. They may also be required if there are excessive fly numbers on cattle prior to commencing or following self-treatment control methods.
