INVOLVEMENT WITH
THE GOLD CREEK

Purchased one of Tom’s first bulls and never looked back.
Purchases 1-2 Gold Creek bulls each year to use over mixed-age Gelbvieh X cows. Selects based on growth rates,
temperament as well as good muscle and full bodied bulls.
Attracted to Simmental breed for quiet nature and good growth rates.

THE GOLD CREEK
SIMMENTAL IMPACT

Gold Creek bulls have enabled consistent results – producing 300 plus kg weaners for sale which achieve strong premiums.
Graeme secures the same buyer each year as a result, which offers sense of confidence in farm planning.
Tom delivers on everything Graeme looks for in a bull.
Customer service is exceptional.
