A family owned and operated enterprise based in central
Mid-Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand.

Cattle are wintered on green feed, pasture silage and
cereal straw. The first cattle purchased in 1989 were

in total).
Embryo transplant programmes were run for the first
three summers when Salers were first introduced into
New Zealand. Embryos were primarily sourced from Canada.

To diversify existing blood-lines, artificial insemination
using imported semen is on going.
Currently the Salers herd comprises of 70 mixed age
breeding cows all going to the bull in December 2002.
