Julie and her parents Ian
and Gay Rabone founded
Weetalabah Gelbvieh Stud in
1999, after preparing cattle
for Steve Sullivans, SJ Stud
at Warrumbungle with the
purchase of a female from
his dispersal sale. Since
then females have been
purchased from Norolle at
Millmerran, Glenisa Stud,
Glen Aplin and Glendale
Gelbvieh stud, Serpentine
WA.
The Gelbviehs are run under
the same guidelines as the
Herefords. Focusing also on
quiet temperaments,
structural soundness, easy
doing, neat compact udders,
high milk, medium framed,
soft females.
Sires have been sourced
using purchased semen for AI
purposes as well as natural
bulls both bought and bred.
Currently Weetalabah runs
approximately 25 - 30 head of
Gelbvieh females. Bulls have
been sold at Emerald Ag
Grow, Toowoomba Ag Show, at
the Brisbane Exhibition, as
well as at the National
Gelbvieh Sale.
Weetalabah recently
purchased Norolle 2R Emperor
E95 by RID R Collateral 2R
bred by Alison and Clyde
Johnson for $9,000 at the
2011 Qld. Gelbvieh Sale.
