Invitation
The Orman family are very pleased to extend an invitation to you to attend
our 4th annual Benelkay Poll Santa Bull Sale on the 2nd of September
2015 at 1.00pm on our property “Glenmore” Mullaley.
What a tough couple of years the bulls have endured to get to the sale,
one of the driest twenty four months our district has ever experienced.
I remember saying a similar thing last year and if I knew then that we
had a further twelve months to endure the drought for, we would not
have been very happy. This year the bulls were on oat crops by the first
of May and what a difference green feed makes. The adaptability of this
breed is simply amazing, what they can achieve when presented with
a seasonal opportunity always makes me proud to be breeding Santa
Gertrudis cattle.
We are very excited to present to you our line-up of mostly Poll Santa
bulls, responding to clients who, for a range of reasons need to be able
to purchase poll bulls to suit their operations. This year’s sale line-up has
19 Homozygous (PP) sires, and I feel very pleased with the overall quality
and evenness of the sale team.
We are able to offer a range of types of bulls to suit different market
requirements and realize not all bull buyers are looking for exactly the
same type of bull for their operation. The Orman family have made
considerable investments in Poll sires in the past years, to produce seed
stock bulls to suit both the commercial and stud sectors.
Again this year’s draft will contain sons from our proven top sires in
SuJo First Class (P), Bullamakinka Dreamtime (P), Benelkay Kluger (P)
and Fishington Bobcat (P). New genetics from exciting new sires in
Dangarfield Upkeep U072 (PS), Warenda Furlong F4 (P), Eidsvold Station
Gavin G2 (P) and Benelkay Lexus 1524 (P). Giving commercial clients a
great opportunity to purchase new outcross poll genetics.
All bulls will have BreedPlan figures to assist you in the selection of
the sire to suit your breeding objectives. As well as raw data figures for
weight, DWG, scans for EMA and fat. All bulls are semen and vet tested by
Mark Baker, Gunnedah Saleyards Veterinary Clinic. Our aim is to provide
paddock reared fit and healthy bulls, so cattlemen can be confident in
their bull purchases. You can view pictures of the sale draft at www.
benelkaysantas.com.au, or contact Andrew 0427 435 201 directly for
more information or to arrange inspections presale if you feel that it will
assist you.

Inspections
Benelkay stud is located in a Bovine Johne’s disease
protected clean area. There have never been
any traces of this disease detected at our stud’s
properties.
Inspections are welcomed anytime. Bulls will
be yarded by 9.00am on Sale day. Pre-sale day
inspections can be arranged by contacting Andrew
Orman on 0427435201 or 02 67435201, or through
Elders. Supplementary sheets containing all relevant
bull information will be available a few days prior to
the sale and on sale day. If you want them emailed
to you please contact Andrew or visit our website
homepage.
Treatments
All bulls have been treated on the 11.02.15 with
Ivomec pour on 27.07.15 with Verbamec pour on.
Feeding
The Sale Bulls have been running together in one mob
on native pasture since, 16.11.2014. The bulls have
been running on oat crops since 01.05.2015 and
have also had access to a Nutramix feed supplement
since then. The bull’s preparation this year has been
light, as weaners they were not supplemented with
any feeds, they only had paddock feed. Only the good
bulls with strong constitutions prevailed.
Handling
All bulls are handled with four wheel motorbikes and
dogs. Our bulls have never been handled with horses.
Semen Tests
All bulls have been evaluated for breeding soundness
(semen tested and vet tested) by Mark Baker, BVSc &
Associates of Gunnedah Saleyards Veterinary Clinic.
Testing was done over two days 07.07.2015 and
08.07.2015. Individual results will be available prior
to and on sale day. Also prospective Stud Sires have
been morphology tested at Goondiwindi Laboratories.
Please ask Andrew for results.
Insurance
We have arranged for company insurance
representatives (Elders and WFI) to be attending the
sale and we highly recommend that buyers insure
their purchases from the fall of the hammer.

EBVs Explained
The EBVs contained within this catalogue can be
validly compared with other Santa Gertrudis GROUP
BREEDPLAN EBVs. These EBVs can not be used to
compare animals of another breed.
Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs)
An animal’s breeding value is its genetic merit, half
of which will be passed on to its progeny. While
we will never know the exact breeding value, for
performance traits it is possible to make good
estimates. These are called Estimated Breeding
Values (EBVs). The EBV is therefore the best estimate
of an animal’s genetic merit for that trait. EBVs are
expressed as the difference between an individual
animal’s genetics and the genetic base to which the
animal is compared.
Birth
• Gestation Length: The GL EBV (days) is based
on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs
indicate shorter gestation length and generally
easier calving.
• Birth Weight: The Birth Weight EBV (kg) is
based on the measured birth weight of animals,
adjusted for dam age. The lower the value
the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the
likelihood of a difficult birth occurring. This is
particularly important when selecting sires for
use over heifers.
Fertility
• Scrotal Size: The SS EBV (cm) is an indicator
of male fertility in regards to semen quality and
quantity. Scrotal circumference measurements
are taken between 300 and 700 days and
adjusted to 400 days of age. Higher (positive)
EBVs indicate higher fertility. SS is also
positively associated with female fertility.
• Day to Calving: The DTC EBV (days) is an
indicator of female fertility based on the time
between a cows first exposure to a bull and
Page 6
when she subsequently calved. Cows that calve
late in the season or fail to calve are penalised.
Lower (negative) EBVs are preferred indicating
shorter days to calving for the sire’s daughters.
Growth
• Milk: 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of
an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is
indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it
affects the 200-day weight of their calves.
• 200-Day Growth: The 200-Day EBV (kg) is
calculated from the weight of animals taken
between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are
adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This
EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s
genetic merit for growth to early ages.
• 400-Day Weight: The 400-Day Weight EBV (kg)
is calculated from the weight of progeny taken
between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to
400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best
single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for
yearling weight.
• 600-Day Weight: The 600-Day Weight EBV (kg)
is calculated from the weight of progeny taken
between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to
600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best
single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for
growth beyond yearling age.
• Mature Cow Weight: The Mature Cow Weight
EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference
in cow weight at 5 years of age. Lower or more
moderate EBVs are generally more favourable.
Carcase
• Carcase Weight: The Carcase Weight EBV (kg)
estimates the genetic difference in carcase
weight at a standard age of 650 days.
• Eye Muscle Area: The EMA EBV (cm2) estimates
genetic differences in eye muscle area at the
12/13th rib site of a 300kg dressed carcase.
More positive EBVs indicate better muscling.
• Rib Fat: The Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the
genetic differences in fat depth at the 12/13th
rib in a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive
EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and
earlier maturity.
• Retail Beef Yield Percent: The RBY% EBV
(%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as
a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A
more positive EBV indicates higher percentage
yield for the 300kg carcase size.
• Rump Fat: The Rump Fat EBV (mm) estimates
the genetic differences in fat depth at the P8
site of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive
EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and
earlier maturity.
• Intramuscular Fat Percent: The IMF% EBV (%)
is an estimate of the genetic difference in the
percentage of intra-muscular fat at the 12/13th
rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on
market targets, larger more positive values are
generally more favourable.
Accuracy
An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has
been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy, the lower the likelihood of change in the
animal’s EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or its relatives.
Accuracy Range
Interpretation
Less than 50%
The EBVs are preliminary. EBVs in this range will have been calculated based
on very little information. These EBVs could change substantially as more
direct performance information becomes available on the animal
50 - 74%
The EBVs are of medium accuracy. EBVs in this range will usually have
been calculated based on the animal’s own performance and some limited
pedigree information.
75 – 90%
The EBVs are of medium-high accuracy. EBVs in this range will usually have
been calculated based on the animal’s own performance coupled with the
performance for a small number of the animal’s progeny.
90% and above
The EBVs are a high accuracy estimate of the animal’s true breeding value. It
is unlikely that EBVs will change considerably with addition of more progeny
data.
Although the accuracy of an EBV should be considered, animals should be compared on EBVs regardless
of accuracy. Where two animals have the same EBV however, the animal with the higher accuracy would
normally be used more heavily than the bull with the lower accuracy because the results can be predicted
with more confidence

Selection Indices
The Selection Index value for an animal is effectively
an EBV of the animal’s profitability for a defined
commercial production system and market end-point.
Ranking bulls on their Selection Index value sorts
them based on their progeny’s expected differences
in profitability for the targeted production system.
As a guide to using Selection Indexes, it is recommended
that producers complete the following steps:
i. Identify the Selection Index of most relevance to
your production system
ii. Rank animals on the Selection Index
iii. Consider the individual EBVs of importance
iv. Consider other traits of importance that may
not be accounted for in the selection index (eg.
temperament, structural soundness)
There are currently two different selection indexes
calculated for Santa Gertrudis association animals.
Each Selection Index describes a specific production
system and market scenario as described below:
herd (run in a temperate environment) producing
steers for the domestic trade. This Index assumes that
the steer progeny are pasture grown and finished and
marketed at 500 kg live weight (280 kg HSCW and 12
mm P8 fat depth) at 16 months of age. Daughters are
retained for breeding
Export Production Index - Estimates the genetic
differences between animals in net profitability per
cow joined for an example commercial herd (run
in a sub-tropical environment) producing steers for
the export trade. This Index assumes that the steer
progeny are pasture grown and finished and are
marketed at 620 kg live weight (340 kg HSCW and
15 mm P8 fat depth) at 28 months of age. Daughters
are retained for breeding.
All selection indexes are reported as an EBV, in units
of relative earning capacity ($) for a given production/
market scenario. They reflect the short term profit
generated by a sire through the sale of his progeny.
Domestic Production Index - Estimates the genetic
differences between animals in net profitability per
cow joined for an example self-replacing commercial

The “Completeness of Performance” Herd Rating System
The “Completeness of Performance” herd rating system assesses the quantity of pedigree and performance
information that has been submitted to BREEDPLAN by an individual seedstock herd.
The 1 to 5 scale of star rating is calculated based on the proportion of calves and numbers of performance
traits recorded. Herds with a star rating of “4” or “4.5” are silver standard. They are considered to be recording
comprehensive performance information with BREEDPLAN for most animals and traits, but are recording less
performance than a 5 star herd.

Poll Gene Marker test
The Australian Poll Gene Marker test was initially
developed by the Beef CRC and released to industry
in 2010. The initial test was based on a single DNA
marker and worked very well in some breeds, but
not so well in others.
The test was further developed by the CSIRO,
with funding assistance from Meat and Livestock
Australia, and a greatly improved test was released
in 2013. The improved Australian Poll Gene Marker
test uses the same marker as the initial test but also
incorporates information from nine other markers
close by in the genome. The genotype information
from all ten markers is combined to create a
‘haplotype’ to more accurately track the origin of
alleles and associate them with being horned or
polled. The additional marker information increases
the proportion of animals for which the test returns
an informative result, and also increases the
accuracy of those results.
Breeders who are able to apply a level of selection
pressure to their cow herd can also use the same
philosophies that have been outlined for bulls.
Retaining only polled or scurred females will
increase the frequency of polled genes within
the herd, while giving priority to polled females
that have been identified by DNA test as being
homozygous polled will maximise the rate of polled
gene introgression into the herd.
Importantly, breeding for polledness should always
be balanced with selection for other traits of
economic and functional importance within the
breeding objective. Simply selecting for polledness
without any consideration of other important traits is
not recommended as it may potentially compromise
the genetics of animals for these other traits.
An example of the test result is displayed above
right.The results will describe the percentage
chance of the most likely genotype, with the
possible genotypes being reported including
homozygous polled (PP), heterozygous polled (Ph)
Page 10
or homozygous horned (hh). The accuracy of the
test result will be reported alongside the most
likely genotype. This accuracy will range from
90% to 99%. For animals where the test cannot
return an informative result (that is, the accuracy of
the prediction is less than 90%) the result will be
returned as ND (Not Determined).

Looking after your new bull
We have put a lot into getting your purchase ready
with breeding and management and now it is up
to you to continue to prepare your considerable
investment for the future.
The following are a few tips:
• At auction sales, remember that possession is
yours after the fall of the hammer.
• We recommend that you insure your bull - it is a
new asset to your property.
• Pen bulls on the truck from different vendors /
properties separately.
• Handle him quietly at all times, no buzzers have
been used on these bulls.
• Have some cattle in the yard for company to run
him with for a week or so to get acquainted to
your property. All will be strange to him as he
has been taken from his mates and even the
water and feed will be different as well as your
environment.
• Check the health treatments he has had and
that they are appropriate to your area and treat
with anything additional you think he might
need after he has settled in.
any break downs, do not give the young bull
increased numbers of females to cover other
breakdowns within the herd. Also young heifers
may be in heat for less time than cows and you
will need more bulls to cover them.
• After the joining remove him and give him
any health treatments such as for internal
and external parasites and any vaccinations
appropriate to your conditions.
• Give him every chance to grow out and develop
after his first joining as your Santa bull will
continue to grow and be cutting teeth, for at
least a further twelve months.
• Annual pre joining vet examination will help with
your next joining results.
• Bulls are a large investment for any breeding
herd and they have a major effect on herd
fertility. A little time and attention to detail
to make sure they are fit, free from disease
and actively working is well worthwhile and
can deliver huge results to our agricultural
businesses.
• If you have any queries or problems please
contact us as soon as you can so that we can
assist you.
• At joining it is preferable not to mate young bulls
multiply with older sires, as they will not allow
the young bulls near the cows and they could
get injured.
• Try and get him to his selected group of cows
preferably in a group with other cattle or bring
the group to him.
• Check him regularly, seeing he is walking well,
no swelling of joints or in his sheath, if possible
that he is serving and that not too many cows
are returning to heat.
• If you suspect any problems occurring quick
action may cure a problem before it escalates.
• Have a spare bull or bulls available to cover

Joint Breedng Objectives
Maturity/Meat Quality
Our breeding objective is to produce structurally
correct moderate framed Polled Santas, balanced in
fertility traits, weight traits, muscling and fat. Always
mindful of maintaining an easy doing functionally
efficient and fertile herd, with a broad genetic base to
meet the current market needs of our clients and to
improve the profit in their operations.
• Select for moderate framed cattle with above
breed average young growth.
To achieve our objectives we employ
the following strategies:
• Select for quiet temperament for handling and
meat quality issues.
Fertility
• We don’t pamper the stud cow herd; they are
run on a commercial basis, in conjunction with
cropping. This strategy indicates the cattle that
will perform especially for fertility and gives
clients confidence that the sires they purchase
will perform in any climate.
• Semen test bulls and use as high a quality
tested bull that meets our breeding objectives.
• Maintain soft fine haired cattle. These perform
better in our climate and are more fertile.
• Select for cattle with above breed average fat.
Fat is important for carcass coverage (MSA),
doing ability leading into better fertility.
• Keep a balance between milk and fertility traits.
• Identify sires that have excessive birth weights.
• Select for cattle with tidy sheaths. This gives
us much better fertility in both bulls and
females also complying better with the MSA
requirements.
Page 12
• Select cattle that are able to perform well in a
range of markets for clients.
• Our style of Santa Gertrudis cattle are able to
target the vealer market, the feed lot and all the
way through to the bullock trade.
Informed decisions
• All cattle are performance recorded for as many
traits as we can manage, keeping in mind
commercial considerations. E.g. we don’t scrotal
score all male calves as we castrate most of our
horned and culls before weaning.
• Performance data is used in mating decisions to
produce balanced progeny.
Stud Profile
BENELKAY STUD
History:
In 1963 the Benelkay herd had its beginnings situated
at Walgett as a cross breeding operation, started
by Andrew’s parents Dick and Dianne Orman. The
cow herd was based on Weebollabolla Shorthorn
cows and Santa Gertrudis Bulls, mostly of Wave
Hill, Gyranda, Ameroo, Kalinga, Pampoola, Marengo,
Murrumbo and Yarrawonga bloodlines. In 1970 the
stud was registered with the SGB(A)A and became
Stud number 810 with the prefix “Benelkay”. With
the select purchases of stud cows and the existing
commercial line of straight Santa cows. The stud had
a good genetic base to form the early stud and grow it
into what it is today.
The Benelkay Santa Gertrudis Stud is run on
“Glenmore” and” Tuppence”, located 34km North
West of Mullaley, in the Goolhi district, or 68km West
of Gunnedah. “Glenmore” is a 1650 Ha property
comprising of gently undulating to hilly country with
a mixture of heavy black basalt, red clay loams and
sandy soil types,” Tuppence” is a 730 Ha property
situated next to Glenmore, and was originally part of
the historic Goolhi Station, that once covered most of
the North Western side of Mullaley. This is the location
of the new Benelkay Sale Complex that was built for
our second annual sale. The stud has become our
passion some say obsession, and something that
we enjoy as a family with our two children Sam and
Georgie helping and being involved when they can.
Stud Focus:
With a strong genetic base of 350 classified stud
cows Benelkay is well placed to breed cattle to suit
the modern day commercial cattleman. With a strong
emphasis on poll cattle that have the ability to enhance
the carcase traits in the stud and commercial cattle
industry. We have selected and only used poll sires for
over twenty five years giving us a large genetic poll
base to draw from. This year’s sale team has nineteen
Homozygous (PP) bulls presented which gives the
industry an opportunity to be able to purchase sires to
fast track their own herds towards poll genetics. The
stud is run on a commercial basis with no favouritism,
there has been years of work go into the fertility,
temperament and the need to breed cattle that are
soft, easy doing and are saleable all year round. We
have found this style of cattle can compete and better
other breeds, but still retain the excellent attributes of
the Santa Gertrudis Breed. We have found over time
that moderate cows have the best fertility and we can
move a little each way with size to suit the needs of
most beef markets. Our entire herd is performance
recorded, all stud and commercial cows with Santa
Gertrudis Group Breedplan. We find breedplan, a
useful tool in our herd selection, as well as using
visual assessment; both tools enable us to make fast
gains in the desired traits, we believe our herd needs
to be achieving.
Sire’s in the past years that have had a large impact on
our stud’s direction, have been, Sanford Vale Juggler
(P), son’s Fonz (P) and Fireball (P), Wave Hill F73 (P)
and Wave Hill Napperby (P). SuJo First Class (P) has
proved to be a wonderful sire, taking the stud forward
in the direction, we believe the industry is heading. His
progeny have had a huge impact within the stud and
I think we will benefit from his bloodlines for many
years to come. Bullamakinka Dreamtime (P), we are
presenting his fourth draft of sale bulls. He has shown
his ability to breed quality stock, and has become a
leading sire within the stud.
We have some exciting new bloodlines coming through
the stud, Wightfields ZinZan F69 (PS). Purchased for
his all round performance, that is backed by his EBV’S
that are above the top 1% for all growth traits, EMA
and both dollar indexes, he also displays a great top
line, hindquarter, fine tropical coat type and was a
stand out Poll Sire in the 2011 year drop. A contributing
factor for his purchase was that his breeding is from
a line of cattle that have consistently produced above
average cattle for other studs and they have sold
Page 13
Stud Profile cont.
very well for many breeders. He was purchased for
$35,000 and was the top priced bull at the 2011
Wandoan Sale. At 23 month old, ZinZan F69, weighed
894kgs, average daily weight gain of 1.22kg’s, scrotal
of 38.5 cm’s, P8 10 and Rib 6, EMA was 135, IMF
was 2.9 with a solid morphology test. We only have
a limited number of calves as he broke a leg, weeks
into his first joining, we have been very happy with his
progeny and last year saw his only year of sale bulls.
We have kept two of his sons, who have calves on the
ground showing a lot of potential. His daughters have
also calved out well during the drought and they have
some interesting progeny.
This year will see the first sons of three exciting new
sires. Dangarfield Upkeep (PS), Warenda Furlong (P)
and Eildsvold Station Gavin (P). All three bulls have
preformed well in the stud with the results offered in
this sale team. All three sires will be out cross genetics
to our commercial clients. Refer to sire information for
further information on these bulls.

A son of First Class (P), he is a soft eye appealing,
well balanced poll bull with good breed type, who is
very sound in structure. He has early maturity, a trim
underline, being a well muscled bull with a terrific
doing ability. Kluger is breeding very true to type and
his progeny are very consistent, this is no surprise
when you look at his breeding. He is out of a Wave
Hill Napperby (P) cow who are crossing very well with
First Class (P). Both lines are very strong breeding
lines within the studs cow herd. We believe him to be
a homozygous poll bull as all his progeny are poll. Top

allows his sons to make ideal heifer bulls as their
calves will be small, but then grow on and have strong

strong top line, a real carcase bull. He would benefit both stud and commercial herds.
Strong growth figures, top 15% for milk, scrotal figures and EMA. Top 5% for his retail beef
yield EBVs. Top 20% for his domestic and export index. Out of a good young cow E65,
with three calves first two classifying and a promising weaner bull.

has plenty of masculinity but retains softness with positive fat figures. He could be used

Jackpot (P), Nice young Dreamtime (P) x First Class (P) bull. Showing plenty of growth
for age and breed type. Dam Kady (P), breeding very well, five calves in five years. One
heifer retained in the stud. Full brother Grunt G58 (P), sold to Hardigreen Park Santa
Gertrudis Stud in 2013 for $10,000. Jackpot is a very similar bull just presented a lot
younger, so has not developed to his full potential yet. Very interesting young bull that
deserves close attention.
