About Heatherington Park Poll Hereford Cattle Stud
Established in 1991,in North Eastern Victoria, combined with a commercial operation. Foundation females were purchased from Studbrook, Wolbull, Margfred Park and Polaris, with further females from Kenya, Omeo, BRT, Wiranya, Debarry, Studbrook and Burando dispersals.
We moved to our current location during 2002 to concentrate on the Stud operations, running 55 autumn calving stud breeders.We have been a member of Herefords Australia ( previously the Australian Poll Hereford Society ) since 1991 and we are a member of Group Breedplan and are MN1.
At the end of January/early February each year,we participate in the Victorian BeefWeek open day when a selection of our livestock is on display.We feature our Sale Bulls along with a sample of our breeding females,yearling bulls and heifers and recently weaned calves.This provides the opportunity for Clients to purchase their new sire on the day, gain an insight into our Breeding Program and to discuss matters of mutual interest.
