Check out our back page advert in the March Brahman News.

We're keeping it simple going forward. Our bulls are available two ways:

📍 FRONTIER GENETICS ANNUAL BULL SALE — August 28, 2026
The lead of our Brahman draft goes to auction at one of Queensland's premier Brahman genetics events. Grass-raised, data-backed, and selected for the traits that matter — fertility, function, and genetic merit.

📍 PRIVATE TREATY — From Tarramba, Banana CQ
Brahman and Brangus bulls and females available by private treaty directly from the paddock. Semen testing complete by June, bulls available for inspection by appointment.

Every bull for sale has the following recorded:
✅ Genomics profile
✅ Sire & dam DNA verification
✅ Poll test
✅ Scrotal size at 400 days
✅ Semen motility & morphology
✅ 200 / 400 / 600 day weights
✅ Mature cow weight (dam)
✅ Days to calving (dam)
✅ Vaccinated — Pesti Virus, 7:1, Botulism, 3-day sickness

🗓️ TARRAMBA OPEN WEEK — 24th-28th August 2026
In the lead-up to the Frontier sale, we open the gates so you can walk the draft, ask questions, and see the cattle without the hype of traditional sales. Get in touch to arrange a visit.

🛡️ THE TARRAMBA GUARANTEE
12 months coverage on every bull — temperament, fertility & prolapse. Refund or replacement, no credits.

Our program is built on three things:
- Real-world environment — no crutches, pressure applied through grazing intensity
- Data-backed genetics — BreedPlan recorded, genomic enhanced
- Fertility-first selection — tight joining, hard culling, cattle that work for you not you working for them.

We have 24 Brangus bulls ready to go to work this year.

Semen testing is underway in May, with bulls available for inspection by appointment from June onwards.
These bulls come from dams that were yearling calvers — out of good, moderate cows selected for a balance of fertility and growth. Nothing extreme, just cattle that work. Their dams recorded a 92% pregnancy rate last year on a 3-month join, program driven genetics with a fertility focus.

All 24 bulls have a full suite of BreedPlan EBVs recorded:
✅ 200, 400 & 600 Day Weights
✅ Scrotal Size (measured at 400 days)
✅ Semen Motility & Morphology

✅ Sire verified

All bulls are backed by our 1-year Tarramba Guarantee covering temperament, fertility and prolapse.

A great article touching on the new project we have begun with support from MLA called Beefing Up Genomics, a producer led reference population.

At the recent Northern Beef Research Update Conference in Brisbane, delegates were presented with a current producer-led project aimed at addressing gaps in recording traits of economic importance and strengthening the Brahman reference population...Read More

GENETICS MATTER

There is something every breeder eventually learns.

No amount of management can fully compensate for the wrong genetics.

You can feed more.
You can supplement more.
You can work harder.

But if the genetic foundation is weak, the system will always struggle.

That’s why building the right genetics takes time and patience.

Generation after generation, small decisions shape the herd.

Selecting cows that breed back.
Selecting animals that maintain condition.
Selecting cattle that perform in the environment they live in.

Because when the genetics are right, everything else becomes easier.

And over time, those decisions build the kind of herd that can perform consistently year after year.
