Try our teaser bulls: From $2000/hd Our teaser bulls are vasectomised at 6-9 months of age and are ready to work from 12 months old. We handle these animals regularly to ensure docility and ease of management for their prospective owners. *For best results, it is recommended teaser bulls should only be used for a single breeding season before being culled and sent to processors. This annual turnover of young bulls leads to increased return on investment (ROI), more obvious heat detection, ease of handling, and greater effectiveness and performance in their duties. As the teaser matures their libido will reduce and their heat detection is much more subtle (less obvious to the producer). Additionally, old bulls are less desirable to processors and will diminish their value and ROI. After the breeding season concludes, these young teaser bulls can be culled and sent to processors resulting in a handy profit and ROI for producers.

We breed for strong healthy dogs that last the test of time and the climate with innate working ability and natural instinct - some stuff you just cant teach or train. We are very strict on what we accept in our breeding program - exceptional pigmentation (especially around the eyes and nose), a conformation that is fault free, good temperament and natural intuition are non-negotiable. If they are no planned litters, we can plan and organise matings and litters upon request if there is enough interest and demand, however these will require a 50% deposit (refundable) paid up-front prior to the mating. Puppies, dogs and planned matings will be announced on this website as well as on our socials, so its best to keep checking back. If you are interested in or planning on acquiring a livestock guardian puppy or started dog, please get in touch with us as we can notify you of any upcoming or planned breedings, or additionally we can organise a mating (demand dependent). All puppies and dogs will be desexed (unless otherwise arranged) vaccinated, wormed, microchipped, hind dewclaws removed (this is for the long term health and wellbeing of the dog) and vet checked prior to departure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620c6265b8b1612d47d8d31a/f1995299-d5ab-48ec-aa04-875b2120ff09/CP2022_184.jpg Sales - Please note: The above pricing is a guide only and will not accurately reflect seasonal variation or market fluctuations.
