They also provide technical support to their overseas customers, to ensure that livestock delivered perform at, or above expectations.

One of our local studs, Southern Star Rural Canowindra was contacted by Elders Live Export in relation to a request from one of their clients in Pakistan. Elders were looking for special breeds of cattle which were bred south of the tick line. One of the reasons for the selection of Senepol heifers from Southern Star Rural, is because of their superior meat quality, along with their hardiness, which makes them attractive to thriving in harsher climates.

Southern Star Rural commenced operations in 2013, breeding purebred Senepol, Angus Senepol cross and Charolais Senepol cross. This year they also had a successful bull sale at the 5 Star Senepol Sales in Rockhampton in September, with their purebred and composite bulls selling well.

The requirement from Elders was they were looking for Senepol maiden registered heifers to go to Pakistan on a breeding campaign. This was part of a repeat order which included some Speckle Park heifers from Yeoval. Further enquiries in relation to Southern Star Rural Canowindra, contact Clayton Maynard on 0439 209 204.
