Big River Murray Grey Stud

‘Big River’ murray grey stud was established in 2001 at “Thalia”. Two cows and a sire were purchased from “Redaways” murray grey stud here in south australia. We have since then built our herd from purchasing quality cattle sourced from all over australia and by retaining only the best females and sires from within our herd.

In 2010 we will calve down 50 registered cows while also running replacement heifers and bulls. At ‘Big River’ we strive to breed easy care cattle . Our herd can be best described as a 5-7 frame score, easy calving with maximum weight gain from low feed inputs. We also cull heavily on structural soundness, Temperement and animals not performing according to their raw data and breedplan figures. We like to ensure that when purchasing a Big River animal that it will breed on for many more years to come.

Big River is a MN3 herd and is also a breedplan member. All animals are vaccinated with 7 in 1 and are also regularly drenched. The herd is reared under commercial conditions (grassfed). Supplementary feeding is only carried out when preparing animals for the show circuit.

We welcome visitors at any time and females & bulls are available for inspection and private sale all year round.
