"The Senepol breed first caught my attention in 2008 when Peter and Katrina Spies showed their stud cattle on the North Queensland show circuit. I was immediately taken with the general confirmation of these cattle as well as the slick coat which I think is a great advantage for tick resistance here in the north. Being strongly polled and early maturing were also great attributes I’d been looking for.
I subsequently bought Pinnacle Pocket Buster in November 2008 to go over my Droughtmaster x Santa Gertrudis Cows, and now have progeny two years old. The steers have grown exceptionally well and have fattened ready for the butcher at the two-tooth stage. I’ve been so impressed with these offspring, I have decided to change the composition of my breeding herd by keeping the majority of the half Senepol heifers. No doubt Pinnacle Pocket Buster has done more to improve my herd than any previous bull I have had.
So convinced am I that Senepols will feature strongly in the future of the northern cattle industry, I recently bought some stud Senepol cows and will continue an association with the Pinnacle Pocket stud as a collaborative breeder".
