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

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 would be ideal foundation cows for a stud herd. All females have been PTIC to calve February 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.
