Cow families feature strongly in our herd. We like our sires to have a good cow family behind them too. This maternal strength in our females helps provide uniformity in our breeding program.  Our cow herd is widely admired by our visitors.

At this point in time, the majority of our females trace back to Haroldson’s Raider ET 2Z with daughters of Norolle Sir Leonard D212, Oldfield Uarbry, Bowen Uriarra, Hanookra Power and Bowen Solo all performing well in our herd.
