All Cows walked through the race and stood on scales with a minimum of fuss. All displayed the temperament & docility the the Wirruna Poll Hereford Stud is renowned for. A real pleasure to assess & photograph & I have no hesitation in giving their temperament my highest recommendation.

Young, well framed females with good udder & feet structure and the usual Wirruna quiet temperament. Presenting in great order considering the challenging seasonal conditions shows the doability of the Wirruna cattle.These proven breeders will be an asset to any Hereford herd and would be ideal foundation cows for a stud herd. All females have been PTIC to calve mid Aug - early Sept 2026 with calves sire identified, estimated calving dates & Breedplan EBV's available in the female catalogue. All sale females are confirmed as bovine Pestivirus free.
