Mordallup bulls are grass fed and paddock reared with supplementary hay when required, according to Mordallup stud co-principle Mark Muir “It gives buyers an honest look at what is being bred and offered for sale.”

As usual bulls are sired by a combination of AI and homebred sires. With the first 10 bulls in the sale ring are mainly by Mordallup bred bulls.


Sons of AI sire sensation, SAV Net Worth feature well in the sale. They exhibit great muscle definition with good body mass and body length. While his daughters will have a big impact within the stud herd.
Easy care cattle is the single biggest notoriety going for them when compared with other American AI sires.

New Zealand bred sire Ranui Impact 462 has sons that will represent the stud this year. Their growth traits are particularly impressive and will be eye catching on sale day.

As usual bulls by Mordallup homebred sires are catalogued to compliment the brilliant sale line-up.
“By using our own homebred sires, it gives the best indication of how our breeding objectives are going,” Mordallup stud co-principle Mark Muirs said.
“Our style of cattle tends to suit every environment and usually suit most markets that are available and we are genuinely pleased with the emphasis that our clients place on herd improvement when they buy at the sale”.
The Muir’s continue to breed bulls with a strong emphasis on constitution; do-ability and uniformity while fertility and milk just come naturally. Softness of muscle and body mass coupled with high carcase quality are standard traits.
An old Mordallup quote is “We like to let our cattle promote the stud. ”
“Out in the client’s paddocks, we believe that’s the best way to advertise,” he said.
“This allows you to promote the stud’s deeds and have confidence that your cattle will perform in any environment they encounter.”

One thing that is worth mentioning is even though Mordallup have achieved very good prices for their top bulls, 40% of the bulls sold in last years 2007 sale sold between $3000 - $4000. This makes available many good bulls for the cattleman with a set budget.

Running bulls out of season
You have just purchased new bulls to complement the excisting herd bulls or have just taken out the bulls for the season and wonder what is the best way to run them for the rest of the year.

Its our belief that most injuries occur out of season, but don't pop up until mating time.

If you have a good system going, stick to it, if however you're not sure, here are a few handy hints.

1/ Look after them - They are an investment,

2/ Don't run your new bulls with the herd bulls
Run them seperately with a few steers or cows, so
they settle into their new home.

3/ Please don't do the old trick of locking them up in
the yard for a period of time. Its a no no...

4/ One of the best ways is to run them in mating pairs
in and out of season.

5/ If not, let them run in a paddock thats big enough
with plenty of shade. So they can define their own
territory. If you water from troughs, its good
practice to have several as one may always be
guarded.

6/ In a paddock of mature bulls, some people run
several steers or cows in with them to act as
friends.

7/ Keeping your bulls in good health makes sense,
Look after them.
