Challenges faced by running two breeds simultaneously to produce the best of both breeds are met by Charles Wallace, of the Woodbourn Murray Grey and Angus studs, Cressy Tasmania,  using a strict set of standards and keeping focus on structural characteristics,  then  Breedplan figures.

Woodbourn offers extensive Breedplan figures on all bulls offered for sale,  but emphasises that buyers must look at the animal first and assess it for structural soundness and body type,  then check that the Breedplan EBV’s are suitable for their requirements. Read the article here………..

All Sale bulls have been innoculated for:

• Vibriosis
• Leptospirosos
• BVDV (continuing a program started five years ago

Additional Woodbourn quality assurances:

• All bulls will be vet checked prior to the sale.
• Woodbourn has MN3 Johnes Status

Bulls just scanned and Breedplan report reading very well. More details soon.

August 2011 –  Woodbourn tops the sale to buy the bull they want.

Woodbourn has long had the belief that if you are going to introduce a top sire to your herd and take the standard of your herd to another level, you must judge that animal carefully, not just with Breedplan figures but also visually. It is a policy which has stood Woodbourn in good stead with its progeny displaying the structural strength and correctness that Woodbourn has been striving for.
