Outstanding Salers Cows & Calves and PTIC Heifers for Sale
We have hade 2 very good seasons in West Gippsland resulting in some great results from our Salers cattle. We pregnancy tested 80 breeders (cows and heifers) from our Autumn calving herd at the end of August with 75 returning in calf. This has been followed by our Spring Calving herd producing 65 live calves from 68 animals that were tested pregnant back in February (2 animals lost twins, and 1 hasn’t calved). We normally run 40-50 breeders in each herd, which means we have some outstanding Salers cows & calves, PTIC heifers and 14 month heifers for sale. The stock are in excellent condition (see photos below), quiet, nearly all polled and all registered animals. All reasonable offers considered. For more information phone Peter on 0408330198.

Salco Salers Polled Bulls for Sale
This video shows a quick look round our bull paddock in February 2024. Most of the bulls in the video are 2022 drop (18-24 months old), with 3 from the 2021 drop. We currently have 8 homozygous polled bulls (based on PCR testing of tail hairs), 3 heterozygous polled, and 2 horned. The 2 horned bulls (RLWPS054 & RLWPS062) are from AI using imported French semen from the bull Baron. We also have a heterozygous polled bull (RLWPT071) from the French sire Beguin. We use Breedplan recording to continually improve growth and maternal milk values. Finally, as the video shows, the bulls we have for sale are extremely docile and are being used by an increasing number of people for crossbreeding with breeds such as Hereford, Angus, Charolais and Brahman. Please ring (0408330198) or email (peter@salcopartners.com.au) for more details.

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!
