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 are either free by inheritance or tested free of all genetic defects (AM, NH, CA).

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.

The females look magnificent with their calves at foot and a joining sire with them, while the young sale bulls for 2012 are hitting their straps and look fantastic. The Breedplan figures are matching their exceptional growth and it is very exciting to see them each day.
