VALE TERRY
O’HALLORAN

Terrence Matthew
“Terry” O’Halloran
7 November 1942 - 21
November 2015
It was with great
sadness we learned
on Sunday 22
November of Terry
O’Halloran’s passing
on the previous
night. While talking
with Terry earlier
on the Saturday,
some members thanked
him for what he had
done for the
Gelbvieh breed.
Terry was a
tremendous supporter
of and contributor
to the Qld. Branch
meetings, activities
and sales. He was a
great committee
person giving
guidance and
providing honest
opinions.
Terry, a former Vice
President of the Qld
Branch, and his wife
Shirley promoted the
Gelbvieh breed at
every opportunity,
participating at the
Agrow Field Days at
Emerald, other Field
days; and Queensland
and National Sales.
They built up a
loyal client
following and went
“the extra mile” in
friendship, loyalty
and hard work in
their involvement
with Gelbvieh.
Terry was laid to
rest on 4 December
2015 after a moving
farewell at St
Patrick’s Catholic
Church, Allora Q. He
will be long
remembered and
greatly missed by
all Qld Branch
members.
QLD AGM & GM
NOVEMBER 2015
Qld Branch Meeting
Day and social get
together on Saturday
21 November, started
at Terry and Shilrey
O’Halloran’s, Terley
Gelbvieh Stud, at
Clifton. They
graciously hosted
lunch, with members
contributing eats.
Members appreciated
Terry’s effort in
assembling stock for
viewing despite his
ill health and we
thank them for their
hospitality. Carole
Johns from the AGA
at Armidale attended
and members took the
opportunity to make
her acquaintance.
Enroute to Val and
Ian Rogers’ Granite
Gold Stud at The
Summit for the AGM
and GM, we visited
interesting Granite
Belt tourist venues.
Members sampled
apple juice in many
combinations; and
lovely cheeses and
wines. Thanks to Val
and Ian for the tour
of their property
paddocks and the
Gelbvieh herd; and
the refreshments and
nibbles during the
meetings. The day
ended with dinner at
the Chinese
Restaurant in
Stanthorpe. Thanks
to the Qld Secretary
Julie Nixon for
arranging a great
day.
