Well what a difference some rain makes! We hope everyone is enjoying the season and may it continue for a long while. The cattle market is nothing short of amazing !! With the numbers being short in all categories we can’t see it changing in the next couple of years.

Our 2021 catalogue is a collection full of bulls with real performance and data that is at the very top end of the breed. We’ve been working overtime making our cattle more efficient in every trait. This is especially in the traits of fertility, calving ease, birth weight and gestation length. 2021 is the beginning of us offering a draft of yearling bulls that exhibit these traits, in the purple.

Very positive calving ease, low to moderate birth weights with short gestation. These all go hand in hand and we’ve worked really hard on our selection of both bulls and females. Please don’t think we’ve forgotten all our carcase traits, of course we haven’t! Our EMAs and IMFs have received enormous attention over the last 10 years. We feel these yearling bulls are epitomising what we are striving to achieve at Truro.

The whole draft from the older bulls to the yearlings are packed full of performance.

At Truro we have moved strongly into using more Poll genetics, but in the last couple of years we have seen an increase in demand for horn genetics, and to this end we have joined our horn cows back to horn bulls for the last two years. We are dedicated to breeding both horn and poll Herefords, sourcing out the best genetics with performance that we can.

It has been a challenge finding horn Herefords with desirable fertility data! Fortunately we found a bull called Hylands Fortunate (no pun intended) last year, with calves hitting the ground now. They look amazing and we can’t wait to watch them grow and measure their performance.

Last year we also purchased a Poll sire, Yalgoo Peacemaker, and we can’t tell you how excited we are about the calves by this fellow.

If we could put into one sentence what our goals are, and what we are trying to achieve at Truro, it would be:

We are aiming for cattle with high calving ease, short gestation, low to moderate birth, high growth, muscle and IMF data with positive fats and retail beef yield – that are functional, easy doing, sound cattle that are easy on the eye with performance !!

High expectations, but desirable and definitely achievable.

Would love to see you, or have a conversation, on the 30^th August, or before.

All the best in Herefords

Scotty, Pip and family
