Fairhaven Droughtmasters Home

The selection of sires for the Stud herd is closely controlled by Principle Colin Hewitt. Information is regularly and systematically collected to gain as much insight and feedback as possible to support sire selection. Vital considerations include weight for age data, breed plan data, and general adaptability to climatic conditions.

The size of Hewitt Cattle Company's commercial herd provides an excellent platform for monitoring the performance of different genetics in varying country types and climatic conditions. This unique insight has always played a significant role in the selection and retention of genetics.

Invaluable feedback is regularly received as the company also supplies many different markets with commercial cattle based on Fairhaven genetics.
