Sires

Overview

From their establishment in 1991 Warringa Herefords bred Horned Herefords until 2010 when they introduced Poll Hereford genetics. Since 2019 they have bred solely Poll Herefords and endeavour to use only Homozygous Polled genetics through Fixed Artificial Insemination exclusively.

In recent years Warringa has implemented a policy to introduce superior genetics by the use of artificial insemination. Warringa endeavour to obtain semen in outstanding young sires that have the genetic merit to obtain their breeding objectives and have been used in their breeder’s herds. This gives them direct linkage with the breeder’s herd and any other herds that have used the same bull.
