Welcome to Monterey, one of Australia's leading producers of quality Murray Grey genetics. We are commercially focussed, supplying bulls, females, semen and embryos to a wide range of stud and commercial clients. Our herd is renowned for the calibre of animals produced, and since our inception, we've selected for large, fast growing, easy doing, structurally correct females with outstanding milk and udder qualities.
The cornerstones of our breeding programme are:
fertility, structure, growth and temperament.
We believe that as stud breeders, we should constantly evaluate the animals produced in our herd by comparing them with the best from elsewhere. Our cattle have competed at every level, whether it be in bull trials, Breedplan performance, carcase competitions, feed efficiency trials and stud show classes. We don't just claim our cattle perform - they do, with a record second to none.
2009 Group Breedplan statistics for Monterey bulls:
30 "C" drop bulls listed on Group Breedplan Junior Sire List
19 Junior Sires in top 100 for
Supermarket $Index
17 Junior Sires in top 100 for Long Fed $Index
26 Junior Sires in top 100 for Heavy Grass Fed $Index
41 Monterey traitleaders listed on Group Breedplan Main Sires List
22 bulls in top 100 sires for Domestic Supermarket $Index
26 bulls in top 100 sires for Long Fed $Index
27 bulls in top 100 sires for Heavy Grass Fed $Index
With 330 “D” drop calves currently on the ground, we have the numbers and scope for optimum natural selection. All cattle are run in large mobs, particularly the weaners, and they have to compete in a mob environment without any special favours. Those that “float to the top” are indeed very good cattle.
