INVOLVEMENT WITH
THE GOLD CREEK

Changed to Simmental for the better fit with his farming policy – the rapid growth rates enables him to finish his cattle after one winter, which allows more flexibility with other classes of stock. Bought first Gold Creek bull five years ago.
Gold Creek bulls and Tom Sanson came highly recommended.
Mates yearlings so requires low-birth weight bulls.

THE GOLD CREEK
SIMMENTAL IMPACT

The shift from Angus to using Gold Creek Simmental Bulls has paid dividends.
Topping weaner sales in Gisborne and achieving good premiums.
The growth rates speak for themselves and the quiet nature of the bulls make a significant difference when it comes to handling.
