Watasanta Stud
The Watasanta Stud was established in 1985.I appreciated the Santa Gertrudis breed whilst living at Coonamble in Western New South Wales. I was a young stock and station agent and I witnessed first hand how the breed were the first to be prime and in droughts the last to get poor.
The stud was founded on females far and wide. They had to meet a criteria of being big, soft, quiet, fertile and being polled. Bloodlines were sourced with no expense spared, often purchasing the better poll females on offer. They came from Goonoo Goonoo, Calga west, Murrumbo, Boongarry and Circle 8.
In more recent times genetics have been sources from Wavehill, Yarrawonga Waco, Marston, Brookside and Canowinda studs.
At Watasanta, we have never been afraid to purchase the right stud sires, often being the top priced bulls at various sales. Our most recent was Waco Odessey (P) top priced bull at Yarrawonga Sale for $27,500.
A good sire is an investment, not an expense....
