[QUOTE="Australian, post: 697829, member: 8793"] What I mean when I mention Australian bloodlines. They are wholely and solely bred from the original imports of the 50's. Not with the newer blood brought in the 70's and early 80's and till now. The old Australian bloodlines were bred to do well their temperament was excellent. They seem to have a much better doing ability than those that are imported now. Arauto bloodlines were very good they were red and were amongst the first to come in in the 70's after no imports since the 50's. Our herd is predominately based on Cherokee (de Landelles) no 3 stud herd in Australia. I have some US bloodlines in my reds through the use of a bull with Garuda Lord Jim bloodlines who was by EOD Rio Gyr. This bull affected the temperament in my herd immensely. Thankfully I have bred the quietness back into them by the use of a dog quiet bull. Although he wasn't quite the red that I wanted (he was a honey colour) he sufficed till the bull that I'm using now (posted earlier). He is producing very fleshy even coloured calves. Will post some of them soon as I get the camera on the go. I really like speckled Brahmans (Gyr types particularly) but they are somewhat harder to sell. Have had a few Nellore types but they are too light boned for my liking. My greys that I have posted have some JDH and V8 bloodlines (US) in them.
