Wirruna Midnight M089 and Mount Difficult Centennial L18
It may be noted that many have Mount Difficult in the pedigree. This reflects an association going back 20 years when Ian and Diana Locke called in on us to see Mount Difficult Unsworth, 1 of 4 Hereford and Poll Hereford bulls to be used in a sire reference scheme. We have come to have a healthy respect for their views on cattle breeding and to see their practices as a model to be followed.
In turn it pleases us to think that they have successfully used semen in our bulls and profited from the females they have bought from us. It was natural therefore that we should turn to Wirruna when it came to rebuilding our herd, particularly as it gave us access to lines we had lost. Midnight, for example, is a son of Mount Difficult Cadbury who has 364 calves in 16 herds and would have more if only we still had semen. We took the risk of using unproved sires as we had always found Wirruna sires to be true to description where both the EBVs and the physical appearance were concerned. The calves we have had to date indicate that this confidence was not misplaced.
