"Nolan's Private Selection" - Premium Grade Charbray
The end result of the 2019 Charbray feedlot trial hosted by Nolan’s Meats at Waterfall Feedlot,Tansey.
At the 100 day mark the cattle recorded an average weight gain of 179.42kg or 53.33% on their initial induction weight. The notable data being, 99% of the total yarding graded to MSA specifications. The average MSA index score was 58.48, which topped at 62.48. Considering the Australia average index score is 57.78 we can confidently say that CHARBRAYS meet MSA specifications and at a much earlier age.
This trial highlights the benefits of a sustained Charbray Breeding Program with all entries being Charbray bred cattle. Data collected throughout events such as the Society’s annual feedlot trial are proving that a developed Charbray Pedigree is not only delivering consistency in progeny type but more importantly much greater heritability of those important carcase traits; depth of breeding will produce a quality line of cattle, figures show that the more Charbray cattle are stabilized genetically the result will be much less variation in fat cover and marbling.
Nolan’s Meats, representative Emma Franz, said the carcases processed were of a high quality, with a very even fat cover.
