Kenmere Charolais will host our 11th annual online-only sale on Friday 8th March 2024.
Kenmere focus on breeding bulls that are ideal for all markets both domestic and stud that are typically early finishing.
Our scale of production enables us to concentrate on the traits we believe are important for producers to maximise profit from their progeny.
Birth weight and all round carcase traits has been the strong focus particularly rib /rump and IMF and more recently developing increased focus on EMA.We submit all our breed plan figures for analysis and the herd has a gold breed plan five star rating that was awarded as a result of methodical observation recording data and timely submissions to ABRI.
The herd averages have been collected over the past seventeen years.
We acknowledge that EBV figures can be a useful guide and understand that there are many factors you need to consider when choosing a new bull.
In addition to weighing all calves at birth and then 200, 400 and 600 days the bulls are scanned at the end of the calendar year and then rescanned prior to our bull sale in March.
Kenmere carries out all breeding programmes on farm to retain our J Base status.
All bulls are vaccinated with 7-1/ multimin/pestigard and vibrovac with routine drenching throughout their lives.
At the 2024 Bull sale we intend offering a selection of AI sires
Homozygous sires Lt Badge 9184, RBM Fargo Y111 and Lt Nationwide 8455 and WC in The Zone.
These will be supported by our own stud sire’s.
All bulls are DNA Ataxia free.
All bulls offered for sale will have been DNA tested and verified to their sire.
Holbrook Vet Clinic will conduct a structural assessment of each bull prior to sale and a semen test will be done to ensure all bulls are ready for work when they leave the property.
