The Charolais herd have been bred for soundness and calving ease. The cows are mated from mid October til late December and calve on hill country. The average weaning weight of calves is around 330Kg in March.

We began conducting embryo transplants with some of our best cows in 1993, and results have improved over the years with technology and practises. We do some AI, and naturally mate the bulk of the herd.

Highcliffs Isere by Bea Cool is a 1000Kg cow. She is a beautifully proportioned poled cow and has a number of progeny in the herd.

Highcliffs Leonora is another solid 1000Kg cow that has produced progeny of outstanding quality in the herd.

Merchant Ideal is by Appolin out of Silverstream Gemma (Gemma was sold for $20,000 at Silverstream Sale around 1992). She has bred magnificently, is the dam of a number of progeny including Highcliffs Magician (trait leader 400 days).
