About Myall Charolais 

Myall Charolais is located 42km from Roma in south-west Queensland.  The stud was founded in 1971 with the purchase of over 200 Waverly Brahman and selected Santa Gertrudis females, using imported French sires, including Clovis, Apollon, Salpoiou, Salamon and Kersnowe Festival, in an extensive AI programme over 5 years, until quality Australian sires became available. Since the purchase of "Buffel Park", Dirranbandi in 2001 Myall Charolais has been in expansion mode. Buffel Park will soon be the home of 650 stud Charolais and Charbray females. Our three properties at Roma will be used for growing and sale preparation of the progeny from Buffel Park. The newest acquisition of "Wattlebee", Garah adding a reliable fodder growing property which will allow us to feed our sale cattle when required on  a high hay ration. This is very important to the sustainability of the stud. As bull buyers ourselves we know the importance of having cattle in a functional state. Over the past few years we have noticed that most studs are too focused on feeding their bulls to make them look great and have forgotten their bulls need to go into adverse conditions. This is why we pride ourselves on having sale cattle good enough to see the quality  but not overfed to lead to disappointment when they are asked to perform. Our focus over the past few years and looking forward is to improve our herd's doing ability, fertility, softness, marbling, tenderness and all other traits required by todays more informed cattleman. As seedstock producers we are always open for inspections not just of our bulls but also our females. We strongly believe Myall has one of the most maternal and fertile cow herds in the country. With a three month joining and culling if no result detected. This and culling for higher than average birth weights, hair type, udder faults and temperament gives Myall a solid foundation to move forward  into the most exciting era seen for the Charolais breed to date.
