“From docility and adaptability to fertility and carcase yield, Droughtmaster’s natural traits underpin its wonderful reputation as an allrounder,” www.droughtmaster.com.au says.
“The constant evolution of the breed is seeing it flourish across the world whilst meeting the demanding standards of Australian producers and supply chain.”
Droughtmaster cattle eat well (Rigorous genetic selection has seen major advances in breed eating quality to exceed evolving consumer demands and stringent MSA and Euro requirements), create profit in the paddock (lower production costs and greater producer profits are part of the Droughtmaster DNA), are naturally versatile (the breed possesses a rare combination of traits including adaptability to harsh conditions and varied geographies), have class leading reproductive performance (Sires and Dams deliver on both fronts with consistent high fertility rates over varied herd geographies), efficient feeding traits (a low maintenance digestive system) and superior cross breeding (when used in cross breeding the Droughtmaster can produce easy care, productive cattle).
In 2023, 346 bulls were sold to an average price of $10,977. The top price was $140,000, with the sale grossing $3,798,000.
