Building your herd

SIRES: Silver Gully strive to uphold their tradition of consistently producing award caliber bulls each year by constructing subtle improvements through the continued infusion of diverse and current genetics. The Silver Gully team annually hand pick the finest young bulls who show early maturing, quiet personality traits, sound structural development and most importantly meet our expectations.

HEIFERS: We now have a number of stud quality 12-15 month old heifers for sale which would be an asset to any herd. Many of our heifers are bred from prize-winning bloodlines, and they are very easy to handle and transport.

PACKAGES: Silver Gully recommends the purchase of cow and calf packages, particularly for first time buyers. Cow and calf packages allow the purchaser to both obtain multiple animals at lower prices as well as delaying the need to obtain a bull for your cows.

THE BREED

Square Meaters - The quiet achievers

Square Meaters are an all Australian cattle breed, bred to meet the demands of the domestic market.

Square Meater cattle are characterised by their:

'medium' frame (moving away from the export market-driven 'bigger is better' approach of the 1970s/1980s)
quiet temperament and handling
easy calving and low birth weights
early maturing - explosive growth for early beef consumption

Square Meater cattle are the breed of choice for many small acreage, family or older farmers, but 'punch above their weight' on dressing scores and yield.
