After a dry early winter, the rain was incessant and the grass would not grow. With more and more rain in the spring, it seemed that situation would continue, but now the grass has grown and the cattle look exceptional..
There is nothing like a Woodbourn cow, all sleek, fat, deep bodied and magnificent.
The physical 400day weights are high and the Angus and Murray Grey sale bulls are tracking well.
The weaned autumn calves weighed very very well and looked very impressive.
There is always something needing to be done when you run stud cattle and with two studs that is doubly so.
At the moment there is sale team selection, semen testing, vet checking, tail hair collecting for DNA results and genetic defects, BVDV ear notching, photographs, cataloguing, and more.
Woodbourn’ s policy is to provide the best animals it can, and in the best state of health and quality.
The spring bull sales have been strong this year for both Murray Grey and Angus.
