                       Glenside Simmental Bull




             1.  Commercially Focused – Breeding programme is driven by the
                 needs of the commercial beef industry and Simmental’s place in
                 that industry. All dry cows are culled. Everything is measured,
                 from docility to marbling. Sale bulls do it harder than finishing
                 stock.
             2.  We offer the choice of traditional red/white terminal bulls with
                 breed-leading growth genetics or new black maternal Simmentals
                 to improve your Angus herd.

             3.  We have no tolerance for bad temperament. Average Docility
                 EBV has gone from -3 to +19 in the last 20 years.

             4.  Strict control of structural soundness.
             5.  We are committed to sourcing the best genetics from NZ and
                 elsewhere to deliver genetic gain.
             6.  We have an emphasis on polledness. Bulls are DNA tested to
                 identify those that are homozygous for the trait (all progeny
                 polled) or heterozygous (some horned progeny if horn genes are
                 present in the cows).

             7.  Sale bulls are sold indoors in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and,
                 if you can’t make it on the day, we livestream the sale and you can
                 bid from wherever you are.
             8.  Performance info is presented in a user-friendly format.

             9.  All bulls delivered to your property, usually personally.
             10.  We offer a comprehensive guarantee.

             11.  We offer friendly, knowledgeable advice and after-sales service.
