Hereford Reference Sires & Herd Bulls
In the fifty years since buying our first Line One cattle, Holden
Herefords have purchased and used many top herd sires from the Miles City Station. We have
also exchange and purchased top herd sires with Cooper Herefords and each year have selected
the top herd sire prospects from within our own herd.
At Holden Herefords, we have stayed with a strong performance line-breeding program to enhance
the predictability of our cattle for our customers. Line-breeding can only succeed if you continue
to add cattle with superior genetics into the program. We only use bulls with above average traits
to maintain this. The advantage of this program is the predictability it provides, and also the hybrid
vigor that can be generated by an outcross within the breed or between breeds.
Each year we offer bulls in our Annual Production Sale with loads of bred-in performance that will
be consistently passed on to their progeny.
