Greenup Santa Gertrudis acquired the Eidsvold Station
in 2006 to form
Greenup Eidsvold Station Santas
Eidsvold Stations' breeding philosophy and breeder management
complemented that of Greenup Santa Gertrudis and it was a desirable merge,
giving strength to the genetics and achieve a volume of production that
provided continuity of supply of high grade bulls and cows to our
customers.
The Bulls:
The bulls are bred under
extensive forest rangeland conditions expect their animals to achieve good
muscling, extremely high weight gains with even fat cover at the commercial end,
while demonstrating fertility and constitution under the tough, extreme, harsh conditions
that Greenup-Eidsvold Santas thrive in.
The Cows:
We focus on traits that are economically
important, producing optimum amounts of red meat underpinned with fertility,
structural soundness and doing ability. Females must calve down
unassisted, with ease, give their progeny adequate milk to grow while retaining sufficient
energy to rebreed every year.
