COLLABORATION

CBV COLLABORATION

We have worked with Alf Collins Senior at CBV for more than four decades. As a co-operator herd Copley Pastoral shares CBV sires and share back Copley heifers to the CBV herd. Our 2021 heifer cohort that joined the CBV breeding herd achieved 95% pregnancy rate. Our collaboration is not only based on livestock fertility but also intellectual fertility. With an open exchange of ideas, knowledge and a regard for the bigger picture of Brahman cattle in Northern Australia and the families and businesses we support.
