FOREWORD

For the sixth time we are pleased to be joining Lindsay Carruthers,
Nethertown Angus in presenting our 2021 Sale bull offering. The
bulls are all born and breed at Foulden Hill and shift to the “Bull
Unit” (6402 Hyde-Middlemarch Road) for wintering as R1’s.
Thanks again to Lindsay for allowing us the opportunity.

At Foulden Hill we are extremely focused on breeding bulls which
are structurally sound, good natured, easy doing and will thrive in
most conditions, be it hill country or flat and hardy to thrive in
tough farming environments. Maternal traits such as fertility and
mothering ability remain a strong focus along with continued use of
new genetics to improve growth, muscling, and carcase yields.

The Santa Gertrudis breed will offer the most potential for hybrid
vigour when crossed with Bos Torus cattle as they are Bos Indicus
genotype. Easy calving with the average calves being born in the
early 30kg range but will grow vigorously with fattening animals
yielding exceptionally well. As a maternal first cross Santa Gertrudis
will have exceptional mothering ability and milk very well (high fat
content). They are bloat tolerant due to the way they graze and have
a high tolerance to parasites.

Our stud cows are not given any preferential treatment, and due to
the challenging area we farm in we believe we are breeding a genetic
package that will shift and thrive in most commercial farming
environments.
Foulden Hill is a TB and Brucellosis Accredited Herd (C10). BVD
free and vaccinated. All bulls have been Semen evaluated and
fertility tested.

We have been selling bulls privately since 2006, with this year
marking 10 years of selling Herefords. We appreciate the ongoing
support of our valued repeat clients and warmly welcome enquires
from potential clients. Looking forward to seeing everyone on
Tuesday 8th June.

See You There
Anton, Liz, William and Jodie Gibson
