We are constantly evolving a Droughtmaster specifically suited to the tropics
Our cattle have been selectively bred over the years for:
- High degree of tick and fly tolerance
- Polled head
- Very shiny short coats
- Good walking ability
- Strong maternal instincts
- Quiet docile temperament
- Good udder
- Easy calving
The bulls must have specific traits to make them deliver:
- Good tidy sheath
- Well-controlled testes
- Broad masculine head
- Broad pink muscle
- Correctly set jaw line
- Strong back line
- Good feet, pasterns and bone in the legs
- Hooded eyes
Euluma Droughmasters are true to type. After over 48 years of selective breeding, they show consistency.
They are good doers. With an average rainfall in Julatten of over 1500mm a year, and most of that from January to March, followed by long dry winters, the cattle need to handle extreme changes of climate. They are strong and hardy, and can walk for miles with ease in this harsh environment. One hundred percent paddock-reared and grass-fed, our bulls will not be found at the yards waiting for hay. They are easy-care cattle, and perform well in commercial herds, over a range of country.
Their popularity can be gauged by the high number of happy repeat buyers who return time and again to add Euluma stock to their herds.
Euluma cows and bulls are performing successfully far and wide. They are currently on stations across the length and breadth of Australia, and their progeny can be found internationally as far as Papua New Guinea, West New Britain and Mexico!
