Fossil Creek Herd Sires

Since its inception, the focus of the Fossil Creek Angus herd has not deviated. We aim to produce genetics that reward our clients with the greatest return for the least input.

Our policy is to select herd sires that exhibit superior maternal strength, excel in structural soundness and have the ability to transmit the traits relating to longevity and excellent constitution for harsh environments. We also recognize the requirement to respond to market signals. Our programme utilizes AI and ET using carefully screened bulls from both USA and Australia to enhance carcass traits where we feel necessary. However these bulls have to stand rigorous scrutiny and not deviate from our stated breeding policies. We aim to maintain fertility, growth and high carcass yield as a priority. Multitrait selection has been the cornerstone of this programme and will continue to dominate the selection process.

Previous Artificial Insemination and Embryo Transfers

We use A.I sires selectively to introduce certain traits and use Embryo Transplant technology to breed our own herdsires wherever possible from our elite maternal proven cow families.

Over the past 20 years, the Fossil Creek herd has used carefully selected sires for both AI and Embryo Transplants to introduce economically relevant traits to the herd. A secondary consideration has been to maintain positive carcass merit in our cattle as well as keeping a close watch on Genetic Marker Technology especially for tenderness.

We remain committed to maintaining the functional integrity and fertility of our cow herd. Longevity and structural soundness are paramount traits that will not be compromised in the programme. The herd continues to receive infusions of genetics from the New Zealand Angus genepool. Many of the critical economic traits essential to maintaining commercial profitability within our client’s herds can be sourced from such genetics. The Pure New Zealand Angus genepool has withstood over a century of natural selection for Grassfed efficiency of production.
