Glenbrae is one of the top Maternal herd in New Zealand with over 75% of our mixed age cows ranking in the top 10% of the breed for Maternal Value & dominating the NZ Maternal Trait Leader List with more Dams represented than any other stud.
Glenbrae stud consists of approximately 150 cows and support stock. All replacement heifers are mated and calved as 2 year olds.
Any cows or heifers not in calf are culled ensuring that only the most fertile blood lines continue. Calving starts Mid August for 9 weeks. We place considerable emphasis on conformation, fertility and constitution and breed cattle with high growth & milk with moderate frame & birth weight for optimum profit.
We are constantly on the lookout for new genetics to improve growth, milk, muscling, carcase weight and IMF.
Bulls are run in 1 mob for as long as possible to ensure accurate EBV's.
Each year the Bulls are sold through the Glenbrae Bull Sale which is held at Glenbrae, where on average 25 - 30 bulls are sold each year. All bull must be DNA tested, Muscle ultrasound scanned and pass a semen and service test to make it through to sale day.
