~ Buying with Tremere ~

Tremere holds an 'on property' Bull Sale annually in September. All sires offered on sale day have been performance recorded since birth with Breedplan. This information on the Australian Composite Register, is presented on a flow sheet available on the Tremere website from mid-August. In reference with the Group Percentile Bands of that year, buyers are able to directly compare all lots on offer and assess the genetic gains each sire would provide for their own herds. EBVs provide one tool in the selection process of sires, all sires have passed the BBSE and have been rated for tick resistance and temperament. At Tremere temperament is measured for all stock at weaning age by recorded flight time. The sale bulls are pen scored prior to sale. Maintaining a tractable herd has economical and social benefits for both the animals and the people who work with them.
