We have a number of young bulls for sale from 1 June 2017. These bulls are a minimum of 16 months of age and ready to work. As a young bull ongoing nutrition and not overworking them in the first year is recommended so we would recommend a maximum joining of 20 females. Given the opportunity, these bulls will continue to grow up to 3 years of age in order to reach their genetic potential.
In Silver:
We have 6 registered bulls all by the silver bull Glen Bold Excalibur (RZK J22). Lovely temperament with a terrific muscle pattern. He may not be the tallest bull we’ve bred but he’s certainly got the muscle any herd would look to add to their progeny. Proven breeder with a birth EBV of 4.1.

We are also offering 1 grey/brown bull by Ondiong Dusky (J6). Outstanding quiet temperament, like his sire together with a below average birth EBV of 3.0 but with a 400 day weight of +47 (against a breed average of +34). Although our focus is on breeding silver murray greys, this guy was too good a calf to castrate.
In Black:
We have 6 registered bulls from our AI program and natural matings. Our AI program incorporated Jarobee F119 (CROF119), a son of Te Mania Berkley B1 said to be his best structured and most complete son. Top 1% of the breed for Carcass weight and Top 10% for calving ease. F119 is pictured below.
