Cahoola farm is a Droughtmaster cattle breeding stud focusing on breeding selected animals to produce top line progeny for sale to stud and commercial breeders. Bulls and female cattle are available for viewing and selection.
Our cattle are grass fed with grain assistance and grown in rangeland conditions. These animals always have plenty of clean water to drink from our undergroung mineral water. Our cattle are handled at all times in a humane and thoughtful way
We have been predominantly using artificial insemination programs with our female Droughtmasters to introduce top of the line progeny, all though there are certain factors leading to production issues relying on this method solely we are continuing with this program to ensure we are producing specific breading values from selected animals by adhering to our strict selection and breading strategies and continually measuring and evaluating to achieve gains in performance.
Our genetic improvement program looks at traits which must meet four basic criteria being economically important, measurable, reasonably heritable and charactered by variability in the population.
Our dam references come from from well known breeders being Glenlands, Fairhaven, Billabong and Imbil Droughtmaster
