Information: Salco Partners have one of the largest pedigree Salers herds in Australia, with 120 registered breeding females. Our herd is based on top Australian, French and New Zealand bloodlines. This year we will have the majority of our animals on display. We use Salers Breedplan, with additional selection for temperament, polling, fertility, and maternal traits. Salers are renowned for exceptional ease of calving and maternal traits, resulting in strong demand for breeding females. Crossbred Salers X British breeds produces calves with high capacity for weight gain that are keenly sought by feedlotters.

Salco Partner Salers Open Day at Stock and Land Beef Week, Saturday January 28th, 2017

To all Salers breeders, customers and friends, best wishes for a happy and successful 2017.
We will be open for Stock and Land Beef Week on Saturday January 28th, 2017, from 9am to 6pm.
We will have the majority of our Salers herd on display (over 200 cattle). Please note, we have not entered the RASV heifer challenge this year due to unprecedented demand for our heifers. We don’t have enough left to make up a pen to show! We will have a number of exceptional young bulls on display.

Salers bulls for sale

While we and many others have had a tough few months with no rain and no grass, resulting in handfeeding of very expensive hay, the silver lining is the exceptional prices that cattle are fetching. Most breeders know that the increase in prices is long overdue, and it has certainly put a spring in the step of the cattle business, despite the poor season in large parts of the country. We are seeing a significant increase in buyer interest, as breeders look to invest in new genetics to maximise returns. This weekend we hosted buyers looking for (and buying!) bulls, cows and heifers to improve their breeding programs. Repeat bull buyers understand the additional value that hybrid vigour can add, especially with Salers crossed over British breed animals.

Buyers inspecting bulls for sale at Salco Partners property

Salers are reknown for their calving ease and maternal attributes. From our experience, this message has reached the market place, resulting in a strong demand for Salers heifers and cows. Over the past 5 years we have been able to sell every female Salers breeder that we were able to release, typically 30+ females a year. A live calf on the ground every year from each breeding female is the single most important factor in making a profit. Salers cows know how to make a profit!
