Bowen Stud - History and Programme

   

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.
