Herd Sires
PALGROVE SIRES IN USE:
The bulls used at Palgrove are selected for their muscling, fertility and all have balanced EBV’s that compliment the female herd without "blowing out" in any one particular trait. We are fortunate that in the Charolais breed the diversity of markets that our genetics are bred for enables us to resist the temptation to follow a trend.
For Palgrove, this means that our bulls are sold into herds from the north to the south and with every market in between from Jap Ox to vealer. The balance that characterizes the Palgrove type means that our clients can select from a huge range of suitable genetics that will add value to their cow herd, it’s just a matter of selecting for individual needs.
The sires on this page we believe form a list of some of the best Charolais genetics that are being used in Australia today from the USA, Canada, UK, France, N.Z and our own bred bulls. With over 2000 females in our bull breeding programme - these sires represent the main pedigree lines at Palgrove.
