It’s been success after success this year for the Wise family of Glenisa Angus.
In May, Glenisa proudly hosted 250 Angus enthusiasts from around the world as part of the World Angus Forum pre-forum tour. Guests were treated to a showcase of sale bulls and yearling heifers, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from both international and domestic producers. This global recognition has reinforced the Wise family’s pride in the cattle they produce and the program they’ve built.
Established in 1994, Glenisa Angus is owned and operated by Ced Wise and family on their fourth-generation property, ‘Glenisa’. Once a thriving stone fruit orchard and vineyard, the property has evolved into the heart of Glenisa Angus’ stud and commercial operation.
The program comprises 800 Angus breeders — 300 stud HBR Black Angus, with the remainder made up of commercial and recipient breeders. Spread across more than 8,000 acres of semi-improved Granite Belt and Wylie Creek pastures, Glenisa cattle are raised in tough but balanced conditions. This lighter grazing country ensures the program consistently produces hardy, adaptable bulls capable of thriving in commercial environments across Australia.
Owner and founder Ced Wise shared, “It was a real honour for our family to welcome people to Glenisa Angus and Wise Repro. To be part of such a special occasion, surrounded by so many passionate and knowledgeable Angus enthusiasts from all corners of Australia and the world, was something I’ll never forget.”
The Wise family’s commitment to performance was recognised in spectacular fashion in 2024, when Glenisa Angus claimed the Overall Winner title in the prestigious RNA Paddock to Palate Class 40 HGP-Free competition — their very first year exhibiting.
And they backed it up again in 2025, proving their program is built on consistency, reliability, and value. This year’s achievements included first in Class 37C: Zoetis MSA Eating Quality Competition, first in Class 40B: Pen of 6 Carcass Competition, Reserve Champion Carcass in Class 40B, Champion in class 40C Coopers Animal Health Highest Individual Index Score and to top it all off second in Class 40B Paddock to Palate Overall Winner.
These results confirm what Glenisa Angus clients already know — this is a program producing cattle with proven performance and real-world profitability. Stud manager Ben Lobegeiger takes great pride in the genetics the program presents. In his words, “We aren’t the flashiest or prettiest program. At the end of the day, we’re just some cowboys who love good cattle and take a lot of pride in making sure they work for our clients.”
With another award-winning year behind them, the Wise family is excited to present their 15th Annual Glenisa Angus Bull and Commercial Female Sale, held on Friday, 5th September 2025 at 12 noon — on-property at “Glenisa”, Glen Aplin QLD and online via AuctionsPlus. Within this year sale 46 Angus Bulls and 40 Commercial Heifers go under the hammer of livestock agents Nutrien and George and Fuhrmann.
All bulls are semen and morphology tested, vaccinated for Vibrio, 7-in-1, 3-Day Sickness, and tick blooded — a reflection of the Wise family’s ongoing commitment to delivering reliable genetics that are ready to perform in herds across the country.
From international recognition to back-to-back award success, Glenisa Angus has set a new benchmark in consistency, quality, and client confidence. With this year’s sale on the horizon, the Wise family proudly stands by their program and offers cattle that are truly “Bred to Perform, Raised to Last.”
