TESTIMONIALS

Donny & Colleen Costello,Costello Holdings NT P/L, Alice Springs.

Costello Holdings have been using Wirruna bulls since 1998 & currently have approximately 80 (Wirruna bulls) working under drought conditions in Central Australia.We have found the Wirruna bulls to be very fertile, easy doing, structurally sound & of good temperament, resulting from the Locke’s strict testing policy on all of these traits.

Wirruna has been largely responsible for the improvement in muscling & early maturity pattern in our herd whilst keeping a cap on mature cow size, enabling our breeders to maintain high weaning rates in below average seasons.

Our objective at Lilla Creek is the development of a fertile & efficient cow herd focusing on sustainability & cost of production, Wirruna compliment this well with the pressure they put their own cows under, both in stocking rate & fertility.

The genetic gain of the "Lilla Creek" herd is now closely linked to that of the Wirruna herd. Since using Wirruna bulls, Ian Locke, in his own right, has been a big help to us as a business in focusing on the issues that matter most & we value his input & friendship greatly.

We have been buying Wirruna bulls for years and are now using Wirruna genetics exclusively. It’s the integrity of the Wirruna program that really appeals to us. Truly ‘low cost of production’ cattle, enjoyable to calve down, plenty of growth and fertile females.

The feedlots and markets choose our cattle. Calling us to purchase

Ian Peake , “Cavan Station” Yass

There are a number of reasons why we like to buy Wirruna bulls, the overriding factor is they make our enterprise more profitable. As a commercial operation we like to keep a low maintenance herd and turn off as many kilograms of beef as possible. The purchase of Wirruna genetics has allowed us to do this.
Even with droughts their doing ability and fertility means we have been able to maintain our breeding numbers with a minium of supplementary feeding. Wirruna bulls are not overfed so they have minimal breakdowns and extended working lives. Another pleasing aspect is their growth and muscle which is showing through in our steers. The assistance and after sales service given by the Locke family has been first class, and has made the bull buying experience very pleasant and profitable.
