History of Balla Balla Red Poll Stud

Balla Balla Today

Balla Balla Red Poll Stud was established in 2003.

After purchasing "Balla Balla" we decided that we needed to stock it with cattle. Beef Week seemed the ideal time to view the different breeds of cattle to decide on what breed would best suit our needs.

After visiting a number of different studs we made up our mind that Red Polls were the way to go!

 
Balla Balla From the Sky!

  • Redward Red Poll stud easily sold the Red Poll Breed to us.
  • Red Polls quiet nature and easy doing ability compared to other breeds really stood out to us.
  • Red Polls calving ease and the carcass quality was also a deciding factor.
  • Red Poll meat is renowned for its flavour, palatability and tenderness.

Our first purchase was our stud bull Raedean Bogart, who we bought from David and Gay Ward, after we fell in love with him during Beef Week.
They had shown him at numerous shows where he had won:

  • Melb Royal 2000 - Reserve Junior Champion Red Poll Bull
  • Sydney Royal 2001 - Reserve Junior Champion Red Poll Bull
  • Adelaide Royal 2001 - Reserve Senior Champion Red Poll Bull
  • Melb Royal 2001 - Senior and Grand Champion Red Poll Bull
    - Supreme Red Poll Exhibit
    - 5th in the interbreed
  • Pakenham 2002 - Supreme Beef Animal of Show

He was the perfect sire to start our new stud.

We purchased cows and calves from a number of other Red Poll Breeders to ensure genetic diversity. We run Stud and Commercial Stock.

We have stock from Redward, Almora, Eurimbula, Sophronites, Red Cactus, Rhyd Talog, Raedean, Red Pheonix, Wyena, Stromley and others. 2004 is the first full year of our own breeding using Bogart. We have a lovely drop of his first calves.

Balla Balla has joined Breed Plan. As we are just establishing no figures are available as yet but hopefully they will be available soon.

We have also joined the National Johne's Programme. All our cattle were tested at the beginning of January.

This Year we hope to exhibit Stud Stock at a number of shows. We will also be entering a number of steers in Hoof and Hook competitions.

We are happy that we chose to own Red Polls and would encourage anyone else to do the same.
