COFFIN CREEK NEW LINES TO $15,000
- The Land, written by Lisa Duce 22.08.19
COFFIN Creek is not an unknown in the Angus world but their eighth annual bull sale held on-property on Thursday was a first for the White brothers Jack and Harry.
With a very proud father, Nigel watching on, the boys offered 36 of their line of bulls that they had worked on over the past few years. They sold 34 of the 36 at auction with the two remaining bulls selling straight after the sale giving a 100 per cent clearance for the day. The auction averaged $5666.
With furious bidding to start the sale, Coffin Creek P41 topped the day at $15,000. The 16 month-old Matauri Reality 839 son who had a 400-day weight in the top two per percentile and an eye muscle area (EMA) of 100 centimeters was sold to return buyer Dougal Kelly, Wallah, Rugby.
As one of two volume buyers, Mr Kelly also purchased two other bulls, Coffin Creek P20 and Coffin Creek P74 for a draft average of $10,000. "I liked his length and his potential as a heifer bull." Mr Kelly said. "He ticks all the boxes with performance, his ease of calving and his high Intramuscular Fat (IMF), he is an exceptional bull." We will join about 1000 females this year and these three bulls will join the heifers soon.
"The White boys have had a steady progression upwards in the quality of their cattle, they are breeding what the market is after, performance and versatility."
Also securing three bulls were the Parry Trust, Willow Tree. They topped their draft at $6000 for an average of $6000. A further eight buyers took home two bulls each.
Coffin Creek co-principal, Jack White was extremely pleased with the sale. "It was lovely to see the first bull recognised, he is a really good bull." He said. "It is nice to see our work come to fruition this year. We are not changing a lot but adding technology to our program and driving some figures into the herd and maintaining the type of our cattle. It is great to see the new sire lines sell really well. We had return buyers from Victoria and locally. We also had a lot of new buyers which is very pleasing."
The sale was conducted by McDonald Lawson, Mudgee with Paul Dooley manning the rostrum.

Lot 4: Coffin Creek N7 by Millah Murrah Klooney K42
Our 7th Annual Bull sale was held on Thursday 23rd of August 2018. Despite trying seasonal conditions for much of regional NSW throughout 2018, the bulls were very well supported, resulting in a fantastic sale outcome. 100% of the 37 bulls offered sold to a top of $15,000 and an overall average of $6459. We were extremely pleased to see 21 of the 37 bulls sell to new clients spread right across NSW and into Victoria as well. It was great to see long term repeat clients competing hard for the top end bulls. The Combes family from Lue Station purchased lot 4, a Millah Murrah Klooney son for $15,000. Another long term client Dick Croake, representing the Blackwell family, purchased 3 bulls on the day, including lot 5, a Te Mania Emperor son for $15,000. As well as around Mudgee, bulls went to a massive spread around NSW to commercial operations at Bylong, Rylstone, Mandurama, Oberon, Wagga Wagga, Bourke, Guyra and across the border to Dumbalk, Victoria. We look forward to hearing feedback on the cattle and eagerly await some rain in the coming months.

2018 EKKA Paddock to Palate Success
Coffin Creek steers have taken out 1st Place for MSA Eating Quality and run 8th Overall at the 2018 EKKA Paddock to Palate Competition (Class 38 Trade 70 Day).
This ranks them as the highest placed pure-bred Angus team in a very strong, multi-breed competition.
We are stoked with this news! Furthermore, the bulls that sell on August 23rd are the lead cattle of the exact same cohort of male progeny from which these steers were chosen. They represent a fantastic opportunity to access genetics that work!

Autumn Calving Complete
With Autumn calving done and dusted we look ahead to joining 300+ registered females at the end of the month. The girls are in great order and we can't wait to match them up to the cracking new sire lines we have spent the last 12 months sourcing.

Embryo Work Underway
Our first ET program has yielded a fantastic result. 7 cows flushed to retrieve a total of 53 A Grade embryos. A lot of lessons learnt and a massive thanks to Dave Christie. We are thrilled to have plenty of eggs from the females we purchased at the 2017 Millah Murrah female sale. Their first ET calves will be arriving in April 2019.

Premium prices for Coffin Creek Genetics
The 21st Annual Mudgee Angus Breeder's Sale was held on Thursday 27th April 2018. It was a fantastic day for many of our clients, who received strong market recognition of their product in deteriorating seasonal conditions. The highlight for us as seed stock producers was seeing Jamie & Sarah Inglis of Kalilett Pastoral win the Champion Pen of Females for the 3rd year in a row with pure Coffin Creek blood PTIC heifers. It was also pleasing to see long time clients John & Sue MacDonald sell steers to the top price of the day in a yarding of over 1400 head. Other clients Berry MacDonald, Damian Cover and Charles Armitage had strong results with their respective offerings.

Ones to watch
We're really happy with the progress of the Te Mania Emperor sons headed to our sale this August. From a diet of grass only, they're exhibiting plenty of ability to convert feed into beef with N13 recently weighing 605kg at 12 months of age.

Next Generation Genetics
With 2018 underway, we are welcoming the next generation of genetics coming through at Coffin Creek. We are currently weaning our 2017 autumn drop calves and have been pleased with the new sire groups to our programme. In particular, the calves by the $80,000 Millah Murrah Klooney. We look forward to offering a quality selection of his sons at our sale later in the year, but are also delighted with the prospect of his daughters as future breeders.

Homegrown bulls making their mark
A particular highlight of the 2016 drop calves are the progeny of Coffin Creek Joker J202. They display excellent weight for age and a quiet disposition as well as a strong resemblance to their maternal grand dam Coffin Creek Abigail C22. Both Joker J202 and Abigail C22 are featured on this website.
6th Annual Bull Sale 2017

sale Report
Coffin Creek hosted another strong sale at our 6th Annual Bull Sale. With by far the largest crowd to date, bulls were very well received with 36 bulls selling to a top of $14,000 at an average of $7694. As always, buyers competed hard for the younger draft of bulls, whose group averaged a touch under $8000. It was great to see so many bulls go to new homes, including commercial operations at Ben Lomond, Buladelah, Willow Tree and Cassilis. Long time clients, the Pemberton Family, paid $12,000 for the outstanding young sire Lot 8 M61 who weighed 720kgs at 16 months of age. Repeat buyer Dick Croake, representing FM & MH Blackwell, paid the top price of the day; $14,000 for Lot 9, Coffin Creek Mudgee M73. Both the high selling bulls were sons of Coffin Creek Joker J202 who topped our sale in 2015. Repeat, volume buyers took bulls to Molong, Merriwa and Rylstone Districts. The commercial EU Heifers on offer topped at $1550/head to an average of $1372. A fantastic sale for us here, and great to see plenty of our long term clients buying good quality, affordable Angus bulls.

The line of 30 Angus heifers, which were pregnancy tested in-calf to low birthweight Coffin Creek bulls, started at a reserve price of $1700 and received a steady stream of bidding before selling for $2110.00 per head.

Paddock to Palate success
We are thrilled with the performance of our team of 6 steers in the RNA Paddock to Palate Steer Competition presented at the EKKA in Brisbane on the 7th of August. In the 70 Day Trade Division our team performed extremely well picking up a number of prizes. Our steers proved that pure-bred Angus really can compete against all other breeds.
Our team of Coffin Creek steers were awarded:
- Second Overall
- Champion Carcass
- Champion Pen of 6 Carcasses
We are over-the-moon with these results. It strengthens the belief in our breeding program and reinforces the carcass merit of our cattle. The bulls who sired these steers, in particular Coffin Creek Deliver D71, are still in use in our herd and their sons will feature highly in our future bull sales.
