What we Sell
Ours is predominantly a spring
calving herd. We aim to turn off bulls at either 18 months or 2 years
and will list them for private sale in March or September each year.
Incidentally, there is no “force feeding’ at Burnbend. On the Goulburn
flats our view is that in most circumstances our cattle should thrive on
our pastures supplemented by our silage and hay. Our cattle will have
been fed much less grain than is often the case, and they can be
expected to live and work on a similar regime.
We will also sell females each
year. In order to keep our herd to the desired size, each year we will
be selling some heifers or mature cows, only because `we can’t retain
them in the herd. Many of these females will be of the highest quality
with excellent
EBVs and they may well be sold PTIC to outstanding sires.
At Beef Week each year our herd,
including bulls or females for sale, will be on display. Clients who
would like to receive immediate regular notification as to sale
animals, may ensure that they receive such notification, either by mail
or email, by emailing us, or by telephoning Ian or
Meg. Click on the
