calves will arrive up to 10 days early. These cattle all carry full pedigree and registered with the Angus Society with full performance ebv’s.
WEERAN FEMALE HERD
The females of the Weeran Herd are the heart & sole of our operation. The product suitability & production cost outcomes are 
strongly related to how well suited your cows are for your markets & their grazing environment. We have the philosophy that the cow herd must have the genetics to satisfy our clients meat quality & production requirements and be able to produce this at a very low cost. To do this our herd must calve in the spring, rejoin in a short re breeding season (80% herd calve in 4 weeks) adopt a short 5 month lactation period, & to be able to maintain this production efficiency at high stocking rates. In summary the three KEY areas they have to be good at to be highly profitable are:
Breeding: The AI programs have allowed us to source genetics of choice from around the globe & to start the production cycle in a tight system with 80% of the herd being synchronized for breeding.
Mothering/Lactation: The lactation is the expensive time in the production cycle so we have kept it as short as possible.
Doing Ability: The cow’s ability to maintain satisfactory body weight throughout the production cycle.
