F1 Program hitting the target

Our F1 program has just delivered the 22nd month of supplying a small monthly quota to Starzen Australia.

The feedback from these kills illustrates the propensity for The Grove Shorthorn blood females to marble above industry average and have higher daily gain on feed than industry average when joined to superior Wagyu genetics sourced from Matt and Alice Edwards & Arubial Wagyus.

With over 1200 head Shorthorn x Wagyu now over the hooks and assessed, the results are Marble Score Average 6.3 (with one month averaging 7.4)

Avg. Daily Gain Steers 1.01kg/day

Avg. Daily Gain Heifers 0.94kg/day

Avg. Carcase Weight 454kgs

The program has been running with great assistance and contributions from Geoffro and Luey Maslin, Chris and Lisa Kennedy, Michael and Emma Hinz, Robbie and Melanie Turnbull, Michael and Annie Rayner, Heather Laurie, John and Carol Brownlie, Stuart and Annabelle Brownlie and recent additions David and Mel Keys all playing a big part in breeding or running the progeny needed to meet a secure monthly supply.
