Rodney Blanch

RODNEY BLANCH, NANANGO / QLD / ROUND 1

Rodney and his wife Jenness have run a mixed farming operation in Nanango, Queensland for 36 years. This farming operation includes stud Charolais cattle, commercial cattle, lucerne growing and grain crop growing.

Rodney and Jenness grow pastures for their cattle, and then prepare cattle for sale with a grain and silage mix. All cattle are inoculated with a drench and Multimin. Multimin is used to make breeders fertile and is also used on young cattle in weaning time. This process has worked Rodney and his wife for many years and has proved its worth to their operation.

Recently they had some bulls’ semen tested and all came back above 85%. Rodney hopes by tailoring his Multimin program that he will increase fertility, conception and productivity.
