"They are consistently performing for the buyers, whether that is feedlot or growing them out to bullocks.โ
Central Queensland beef producers Rob and Candy Cross, Fermanagh, Anakie, invest in elite Santa Gertrudis bulls for rapid genetic gain in their commercial herd because they are confident in the return on investment.

In May this year, the couple topped the Emerald weaner sale with nine to 10-month-old Santa x Shorthorn steers, averaging 384kg, and returning 428c/kg or $1647. This was followed up last month with sale toppers averaging 353kg and returning 460c/kg or $1623.
