Texas Genetics paying big dividends in New England NSW

Maria River Cattle Co has been purchasing Texas bulls since the introduction by the late David Wright in 2003. They have been impressed by the bulls performance, frame, fertility and temperament and have been sole repeat buyers ever since. Shane Carey, General Manager of Maria River Cattle Co. would recommend Texas bulls to anyone wanting Angus genetics.
