Temperament not assessed in Paddock
All Heifers walked through the race and stood on scales with a minimum of fuss. All displayed the temperament & docility that 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.

Assessor Comments
6 x Fully Performance Recorded 2 year old heifers from the heart of the Wirruna Poll Hereford Herd. Young, well framed females with good 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 future breeders will be an asset to any Hereford herd and even though they have exited the Wirruna Stud Herd are still high quality commercial females that will stand any inspection. All females have been PTIC to calve February/Early March 2026 with sires & estimated calving dates attached to this assessment, also attached are individual Date of Births & Breedplan EBV's. All sale females are confirmed as bovine Pestivirus free.
