We focus on producing the very best cattle we can which have all the natural attributes needed to become exceptional suckler cows. We only use the best easy calving sires for our heifers both through the use of ai and sourcing bulls with extremely easy calving figures.

We have invested significantly in our facilities in both our farms and livestock mart showing our commitment to the industry. Show less
