25.01.2022 Merry Christmas to everyone! Stay safe and have a wonderful holiday.

25.01.2022 You haven't heard from us for a while.... I guess that's what happens when all your time is spent feeding and chasing water. But here are the moo crew to brighten your evening.

24.01.2022 The pint-sized Overseer says 'it's time to moooove on some moooos... ' Stay tuned to see some featured females that are being released. Enquiries welcome for steer and female sales.

23.01.2022 We are enjoying a little more feed on the ground with greater rainfall heading into winter this year... finally. Keep in mind with your Spring planning that we have a great portion of the heard available for sale. PM if you are interested in starting your own Beltie herd. We also have available early strain genetics.

22.01.2022 A big thank you to Andrew for your help yesterday! A big day for all :-)

20.01.2022 These weaner steers are now available. They are deep bodied boys who are carrying a lot of thickness through the top line, all carried on a moderate frame. Taking enquiries now.

16.01.2022 Our new sire Jandrew Hillcrest has demonstrated his exceptional ability to produce a very consistent line of thick, well conformed buttery calves. We are delighted with these calves, and with still some ladies left to drop.... are excitement will continue. We do have females currently available for sale. Enquiries always welcome.

15.01.2022 The boys are out and now we wait. A large portion of the herd is available and, as you can see, they are looking amazing. Step into spring in Beltie style... contact us for more information.

14.01.2022 Due to ill health, we are regrettably offering a large portion of our herd for sale. On offer are a large selection of quality females and this year's drop of steers. Please feel free to pm for enquiries as we start featuring individuals on the page. Discounts will be offered for groups of animals purchased.

14.01.2022 Getting set up to run this season's calves through the yards tomorrow (although the ladies came in and said hello while we were working in the yards)... Our Grandson had to test out the new calf race ;-) he gave it the tick of approval for ease of use and relaxed atmosphere... although the moos were a bit musical.

13.01.2022 Wishing all of our followers and fellow moo cow lovers a safe and happy Christmas!!

11.01.2022 Spring is very much on the air....

10.01.2022 Nothing like wind in the hair... belted style:-)

10.01.2022 GALLOWAY TRAITS With so many different beef breeds available for the Australian Beef Producer today, why would he choose to use Galloways in his breeding progra...m? Being one of the oldest naturally polled breeds, the characteristics that the Galloway breed bring to your herd have been stabilised over many generations of breeding. These characteristics include: FERTILITY Galloway bulls are very fertile at an early age. Reports from Tasmania of one beef producer who turn out a 3 year old Hereford bull and an 18 month old Belted Galloway with 26 heifers. The Hereford was much bigger and the producer doubted if the Belted Galloway Bull would have the opportunity to breed any of the heifers. Nine months later his opinion of the Belted Galloway bull changed. The first 24 calves born were by the Belted Galloway Bull. If you want your cows in calf the Galloway is the bull for the job. EASE OF CALVING Research completed by the Clay Animal Research Centre, in Nebraska tested 11 breeds for their ability to give birth and rear their calf. The Galloways recorded the highest weaning percentage (95.5%) and the highest calf survival percentage (95.2%). The Galloways also had an outstandingly low incidence of calving difficulty (0.8%). The Galloway calf is very vigorous at birth which helps it to survive those crucial first few days of life. There is no profit in a dead calf make sure of your calving ease by using a Galloway Bull. MATERNAL TRAITS AND LONGEVITY Galloway females are very protective of the calves and will produce a live viable calf well into their teens. They produce a high quality milk and will look after their calves in all conditions. NON-SELECTIVE GRAZERS Research in Europe has shown that Galloways will graze over the whole paddock which allows the grasses to be able to compete with the weeds. They have the ability to forage under sparse conditions and as a result can be finished on pasture with only pasture hay or silage as a supplement. HIGH QUALITY AND HIGH YEILDING CARCASSES The typical Galloways carcass is well muscled, long and with optimum fat cover. Rarely does a Galloway cross have too much fat cover. Galloway crosses have been shown in feedlot trials to have the same marbling and growth rate as Angus crosses, but better yield and less back fat (external fat). Carcass competitions have shown that Galloway carcasses typically are high yielding, with figures often around 73%. PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY HEALTHY BEEF In Canada, USA and Switzerland research has shown that beef which is extensively produced can be of great benefit in a healthy diet. Galloway beef raised under extensive conditions is rich in linoleic acid. The human body does not produce linoleic acid and therefore it must be included n our diet. Linoleic acid reduces the dangerous type of cholesterol (LDL), prevents thrombosis and therefore protects coronary vessels. Research by Dr Butson, Canada also has shown that Galloway beef has good levels of the essential fatty acids Omega 6 (linoleic acid) and Omega 3 (linolenic acid) THE BREED TO CROSS BREED Results of crossing a Galloway with other breeds: Galloway cross females are easy-calving, great mothers, long-living and have an ability to do well in any conditions. A Galloway F1 cow has a genetic difference to produce strong hybrid vigour which adds considerable efficiencies to the cow herd and the progeny they produce. The steer portion of the drop has been proven over decades in grazing / feedlot trials and carcass competitions to have the weight gain and carcass that is required by the producer, butcher and consumer. Galloway bulls have the ability to produce an even line of calves in colour, polledness and high quality carcasses from mixed lines of cows. The Galloway polling dominance in crossbreeding ensures 100% polled calves from horned females. FEELING LUCKY OWNING A GALLOWAY HERD!!!

08.01.2022 From the bull paddock.... the boys enjoying the shade as the weather warms up. Neptune, our son we have kept entire to follow in his sire, Jetsetter's, hoof prints. He is a good calf, with good bone and thickness. Just going through another little growth spurt, he carries plenty of weight and thickness where it counts. Keep an eye on this baby.

07.01.2022 It's breakfast time at Timba-Inn... patient ladies (take note of the 'kids' waiting in line next to the fence) waiting for their yum yums.

04.01.2022 We have been lucky enough to receive some rain in recent weeks and although the weather decided to relocate some fencing it is nice to see full dams and some green pick. We are still wanting to greatly reduce numbers due to ill health. Enquiries by inbox welcome.

04.01.2022 Our ladies have dropped some lovely calves this year. Big, thick and free moving. We currently have a range of females available for sale. Contact us for more information.

02.01.2022 Our first Hillcrest calf is showing all the characteristics we hoped to introduce into the Timba-Inn herd with the purchase of this sire. This is one beautifully thick and soft little lady.
