Client testimonials
"We are based on black soil plains at Walgett and have been predominately using Karoo bulls for over 15 years. They adapt to our warmer climate and have consistently performed and improved our herd up to a standard that achieves high returns for our weaners each year."
Mark Evans, 'Martindale', Walgett, NSW
"We have, in recent years, purchased from John and Annie three bulls, plus semen, for our seedstock herd. The Reens have put together some of the most productive female families in the Angus breed. This, together with their absolute integrity, makes it easy to purchase with confidence, bulls for our breeding programme."
Peter Hughes, Cluden Newry Angus, Tasmania
"I like the Karoo bulls because I get top dollar for my weaners at the C.T.L.X. Blue Ribbon Weaner Sale. I find my heifers are trouble free at calving time. Over the years I've found John and Annie are genuine people to do business with."
Chris Stonestreet, 'Fernside', Blayney, NSW

"We find Karoo bulls are complementary to our herd. We're seeing beautiful, thick calves on the ground, and most importantly, very stylish heifers. Karoo bulls really mesh with our cows. We are attracted to Karoo cattle for their fleshing ability, structural soundness, bone and capacity, and temperament."
