Lorraine’s Composite Herding Approach
Lorraine runs a quality herd of approx. 26,000 head of a tropically adapted composite mix including:
This composite is brings together the most important traits from several breeds which allows us to select animals that are highly fertile, heat and humidity tolerant, parasite tolerant, able to function consuming pasture with limited nutritional value and abundance during our annual dry season and extended droughts.
Our target market for males is southern feedlots for domestic and export beef and for our females we aim to sell the majority as culls for slaughter.
