Its all about the calves ! When Roy from Tropical North Droughtmasters decided to start his own Droughtmaster Stud in one of the wettest places in FNQ a few years ago, we were chuffed to supply him with young grassfed stud heifers that would be the foundation of his future breeding herd. Fast forward a bit, and we are impressed with his results to date. To us, a heifer sold for breeding must be a genetic package that is destined to mature in a low maintenance, easy doing tropical breeder who calves easily, mothers and milks well for her calf, from birth to weaning, even under adverse conditions. Our family have been stringently selecting feminine, long, loose skinned females that are destined for breeding, for over 50 years, based on fertility, mothering & milking ability, udder/teat/navel shape & size and parasite resistance. Calf size and maternal fertility & performance is always front of mind when potential Sires for the herd are selected. Congratulations on the quality of the calves from this young herd, knowing that many generations of maternal selection have and continue to play a substantial role.
