Open Day Showcases Options for Beef Industry

North West Slopes and Plains Cattle breeders will get their chance to see the calmest cattle around at the Senepol Cattle Open Day this week.

With their superior traits of heat tolerance, insect resistance and ability to thrive on poor quality forage, as well as excellent fertility, superior carcass qualities, feed efficiency, remarkably quiet nature and renowned maternal and milking ability, the Senepol is regarded as a profitable crossbreeding option for the beef industry.

This week’s open day is aimed at introducing beef breeders to the Senepol as well as providing a number of industry briefs on topics including performance recording and new genetic DNA technology. Opportunities to purchase Senepol bulls through a Helmsman Sale will be provided.

WHAT: Showcasing new options for cattle breeders
WHERE: ‘Bim Bimble’ NORTH STAR NSW 2408
WHEN:  30 SEPTEMBER 2010 from 10.00am to 3.00 pm

NOTE TO NEWS EDITORS/CHIEFS OF STAFF:

Cattle are available for photographs/filming. Interviews can be arranged with key Association members and Stud breeders to discuss the opportunities Senepol cattle represent for breeders across the region.
