Wirruna Poll Herefords
We see ourselves as a very different seedstock operation compared to most studs
Disciplined Approach to Breeding
- All cattle run under commercial stress conditions
- All cows and heifers joined for 6 weeks only
- All heifers must have a live unassisted calf at 2 yrs
- All cows must bring a live unassisted calf through to weaning; every year!
“All cattle that fail these strict fertility hurdles are culled – the are no favourites!”
High level Performance Program
- Renown as one of the most well-recorded Hereford herds using Breedplan
- Over 9,000 recorded cows and 6,000 birth-weight record
- Cattle run and recorded in large management groups
“A Genetic program, -focussed on breeding, not feeding!”
Commercially focussed sale stock
- Grass-fed bulls – naturally grown. Not over-fat and prone to early breakdown
- Client friendly Helmsman sales in both Spring and Autumn each year
- All bulls independently assessed for structure and breeding soundness
- Breed leading genetics
- 2010 born bulls average in the top 10% of the breed for all $Indices and top 5% for Grain-fed & Grass-fed $Index.
