WEERAN FEMALE HERD


The females of the Weeran Herd are the heart & sole of our operation. The product suitability & production cost outcomes are strongly related to how well suited your cows are for your markets & their grazing environment. We have the philosophy that the cow herd must have the genetics to satisfy our clients meat quality & production requirements and be able to produce this at a very low cost. To do this our herd must calve in the spring, rejoin in a short re breeding season (80% herd calve in 4 weeks) adopt a short 5 month lactation period, & to be able to maintain this production efficiency at high stocking rates. In summary the three KEY areas they have to be good at to be highly profitable are:
Breeding: The AI programs have allowed us to source genetics of choice from around the globe & to start the production cycle in a tight system with 80% of the herd being synchronized for breeding.
Mothering/Lactation: The lactation is the expensive time in the production cycle so we have kept it as short as possible.
Doing Ability: The cow’s ability to maintain satisfactory body weight throughout the production cycle.
