Easy Calving - Calves are born long, slender and fine boned, allowing for an easy delivery. Calves muscle up at around two weeks of age. Selected Blonde bulls can safely used to calf down heifers. Birth weights ave. 35-40 kg

Rapid Growth - Blonde cross calves will grow rapidly on mothers who can supply what is needed for a calf to grow. Our clients have reported increased yeaning weights ranging from 20 to 50kgs per calf. Common weaning weights range from 350 to 520kg.

Feed Efficiency - Blondes can also improve profitability through feed efficiency. At the 2001 Vasse feed efficiency trial in Western Australia, the Blonde breed was 1^st for feed conversion consuming only 5.1 kg of feed for each kg of weight gain. Many breeds needed 6 to 7 kg of ration to put on a kg of weight.

High Carcass Yield - Blondes typically yield 65%+ of saleable meat from a carcase because of their high meat to bone ratios and minimal fat. There are also a better proportion of higher valued cuts.

Temperament - Blondes are very docile cattle, and are quite easy to handle. This feature flows on into both the feedlot and grass finishing situations where quiet cattle which take to feed more quickly are needed to reduce costs and finishing time.

Premium Prices - Many feedlotters and butchers will pay premium prices for Blonde cross cattle. They recognise the facts of rapid growth, high feed efficiency and high carcass yield and are prepared to pay for this improved product.

More meat and a better bottom line can be achieved by mating your cows to well-muscled Blonde bulls. Increase your profits now and consider a Blonde bull. You will never look back.
