What does it Cost to get Started?
To get started with stud stock
- able to be registered with the Australian Hereford Association
and meeting the
Frame Score conditions - you can
pay up to $20,000 for a heifer and up to $10,000 for a bull calf.
We have capped our best stud
heifers at $20,000 and stud bulls at $8,000. This is no more than
you pay for quality full sized stud beef cattle and you also need to
consider the value of your offspring. It is possible to flush up to
10 embryos from a heifer in one flushing; embryos sell for up to
$2,500 each, or simply go the natural birthing way. For details for
the actual animals we have for sale at the moment visit
here.
To see the latest
information on what AMH breeders have for sale visit
Australian Miniature Hereford Breeder Network website.
To get started with
miniature Herefords, you can also purchase registered Herefords and use a
miniature Hereford bull (just like the Largents did in the USA to
help start the miniature poll Hereford line in the USA) - the animals are still able to be registered with the
Australian Hereford Association, you need only pay up to $2,000 for a
registered Hereford heifer calf. The animals are classified as
miniature Herefords when they met the frame score conditions - see
here for miniature Hereford frame scores
Remember you don’t need to buy
a heifer and bull to have a breeding pair; if you buy a heifer we
can supply fully imported pure miniature Hereford semen for $135 per
straw.

breeding Miniature Herefords -
call us on 02 6337 5008 to discuss your needs, or plan a visit to
our stud at Oberon, near Bathurst in the Central Tablelands of NSW.
