Bowen Stud - History and Programme

Kayne Gibraltar.jpg    B Balranald.jpg

Bowen Poll Hereford Stud was founded in 1963 with half of the females from the Peake Family's Middleton Stud.  Original Stud Sires were used from the elite studs of their day, The Brae's, Springfield , Kildrummie, Woodlands, Moorlands & Sevenbardot.

In the 80's the Whattleview Baron line was introduced, moving our cattle to a new level.

 

Stephen worked in New Zealand , Canada & U.S.A and gained knowledge and understanding of their cattle industries & sought bloodlines of the soundest commercially focused cattle.

 

After working in these countries a decision was made to start an Angus Stud herd. The foundation females were from Barry Marshall's Callen herd and the Mordallup herd from Western Australia . The same commitment is given to the Angus Herd as the Poll Herefords.

 

Honesty & Integrity is the core of our family operation, with over 40 years & three generations our principal goal is to maintain a sound practical breeding program. The cattle are our sole source of income. We strive to produce functional, efficient performance Poll Herefords & Angus Cattle.

 

Strict attention is paid to all reproductive, carcase, structure & feet and all multitude of attributes that make every beast an easy care productive performance animal, that is determined by our customers hip pocket.

 

The cow herd is the backbone of any beef program. Therefore prudent investigation of every potential sire for balanced multiple traits and especially a dominant cow family is essential in our breeding program.

 

There have been no stones left unturned in the effort put into the advancement of the stud's

breeding program, which earns our clients a sound reputation within the Beef Industry.

 

BREEDPLAN

Bowen Poll Hereford herd has been performance recording since 1968 and involved in the National Beef Performance Recording Scheme (Breedplan) since its inception in Australia . The Angus herd has been Performance recorded since we established the Stud herd in 1995. Our herd is recorded in large contempory groups allowing the cream of performance rise to the top without aids such as creep feeders or foster dams.

 

Net feed efficiency testing through actual hands on recording and the new IGF-1 blood testing has been undertaken here at Bowen since 2002, in our quest for performance.

 

We at Bowen do not reside to single trait selection but strive for multiple trait selection

 

Peake's Poll Herefords

Stephen and Jodi Peake decided to combine the Cas, Kayne and the females they had purchased from the Kenya Poll Hereford dispersal, to form the one Stud - Peake's Poll Herefords.   This year will see the first bulls with the Peake's prefix.
