Selecting a breed for their quiet temperament has pleased Ty Stanton, Tysubi Beef from Liliput in Victoria after his first sale of steers at the Wodonga weaner Hereford and Euro-sale on 12 January.
“We have the base Hereford herd and I started putting Charolais over them but wasn’t quite satisfied with the progeny”, Ty explained. “The Maine-Anjou are known for their quiet temperament and calm cattle put on weight faster and that’s what has resulted with this new cross”.
“Our cattle enterprise has grown from a very small start and having a sound base of a mix of clovers and rye has kept the cattle in growing condition as you can see in the quality of their coats”, he said.
Tysubi use bulls from Wyuna Stud over the Hereford cows and is heading north to check out other bloodlines at the Dubbo Beef Week on their way to Queensland.
