Our bulls complain that we’re too tough on them.
But Our Clients Aren’t Complaining

Kelly purchased Greenup Viagra (P) from Greenup Santa Gertrudis for
$17,000 in 2004.
Greenup
Viagra was mated with 54 cows in 2005, with 52 cows returning a positive
preg-test.

“I chose him using the Sire Selector on the Santa Gertrudis
website and doing a physical inspection prior to the sale. I was
particularly impressed with his temperament and structural soundness,”
Mr Kelly said.
“Viagra’s
semen morphology was excellent and he proved to be a potent calf-getter.
Viagra’s calves have the muscle, temperament and structure that I
seek. I am very happy with his performance."
“At
our Dispersal Sale in 2006, cows with calves at foot by Greenup Viagra and
back in calf to Viagra sold to a top of $8500 and Viagra himself was
resold for $15,000 after working two seasons – a great return on my
investment.”

"We have fed a lot of Greenup bred steers.
They are great converters, high weight gainers and produce outstanding
weight for age carcases. I wish we could buy a lot more of
them."

Graham McDermot first bought Greenup Santa
Gertrudis Bulls for his
Northern Territory
property “Toblemore” in 2003 and after seeing how they handled the dry
seasons he has been back every year.
Greenup Bulls are excellent
walkers, I found them working 20 km from water in the dry times.
I’ve has a top calving rate since using Greenup bulls, and have
changed 75% of my herd to Santas. My red cattle are doing in excess of
2kg/day in the feedlot compared with the Brahman’s gains of
1.6-1.7kg/day and are quicker to go on feed.
Nowadays I have 3-4 works chasing my steers. The Greenup bred
cattle have excellent temperament and are superior to handle in the yards
and paddock.”

"We have purchased steers from Rick & Alice
Greenup and have been very happy with the results from ourt backgrounding
operation. We have found them to be a good line of cattle and well
suited to hte feed-on steers market. Despite a hard winter feeding
only on grass, these cattle still gained 0.8kg per day. We will be
looking to purchase Greenup steers again!"
