Boost for the bottom line

Rising cost pressures have prompted one South East Qld cattle-producing family to look for greater growth rates from cross-breeding, as MARTIN BUNYARD reports.

Using generational bred Charbray bulls over a 350-head Charbray cow herd, with 260 Charbray replacement heifers currently on hand, the families are producing steers at a turn-off weight of 300 kilograms dressed direct to the meat processors.
