Our Lowline Bulls
Wanamara has always used champion sires with structural correctness, good muscling & most importantly, good temperament. Our bulls are larger framed Lowline bulls with adult weights of 600 - 700 kg because we are producing bulls for the commercial market. Commercial & dairy farmers need bulls with plenty of height, stretch & weight to serve larger framed cows, without breaking down. Our bulls are bred for this purpose, not just for the show ring.
We have used sires naturally & specially selected AI sires to suit our breeding programs. These include
Ardrossan Findon, Wanamara Vander-Kuyp, Wanamara Findon Royale, Wanamara Guinness, Wanamara Blampied, Wanamara Chrystals Royale, Southern Cross Casanova, Southern Cross Calculator, Yerrinbank Prince Regent, Trungley Corundum, American sire MCR Standing Bear, Whitby Farm Freeman. Our latest addition is Serena Downs Googolplex.
