About Bridgewater Angus
Roger and Geralyn Flower have been breeding Angus for 21 years. Their focus is on producing high performance weaners and good quality bulls
Bridgewater Angus Description
The Flower family began farming in 1879 when Roger's great grandfather, son of an english immigrant, Frederick Flower took up a selection in the Bega Valley.
Roger's father Geoff Flower and family made the move to the New England in 1963.
Roger and I returned to the district in 1996 and purchased Myola at Black Mountain. We have been breeding Angus cattle for the past 21 years. Firstly purchasing 200 Hazeldean blood angus heifers from Witacoola Pastoral company, Mulaley and 50 heifers from Sam White at Bald Blair Angus, Guyra. Our goal has been to produce high performance weaners with high growth rates and marbling which have consistently performed well in the feedlot market. Bridgewater steers were one of the top performers in the Angus Benchmarking program, Cohorts 1, 2 and 3.
We run a herd of 700 angus females of which 200 are registered APR and HBR stud cows, over two properties, Myola and Westview. We were fortunate to purchase 21 stud cows from the recent Wattletop dispersal sale (stage 1) and look forward to seeing their progeny on the ground within the next few weeks. We are proud of our operation and welcome visitors.
Reviews
Well we have taken the plunge now we need some back up rain. 🤞🤞
I think he is saying C’mon get a move on. Hopefully after some very welcomed rain we will only have another few weeks of feeding. 🤞🤞
Well that’s our first sale out of the way and what a learning curve that has been. We would like to thank all the bidders and under bidders and all the local community who came to support us on the day. The bulls sold to a top of $9000 Bridgewater Fletcher M3 went to Sue Newey and Stuart Hutton Fernhill Black Mountain and we cleared 20/28 with an average of $4925. The Peatfield Family from Babworth Pastoral bought 2 bulls bringing their total purchases to 20 Bridgewater Bulls. They also purchased 60 commercial heifers. Thank you to Lock Rogers from Wattletop Angus who opened our sale and to Robert and Mitchell Woods for their help on the day and to and Chris Capell and Brad Cornish for their excellent BBQ skills.
