Focus on fertility, early maturity, temperament, reproductive soundness & carcase traits. Pinnacle Pocket breed fertile Senepol and Senepol composite cattle (with Droughtmaster) well adapted to the conditions of tropical Australia. The Pinnacle Pocket operation is based on the Atherton Tablelands, west of Cairns, bear Malanda on the North Johnstone River. In producing cattle, we follow best-practi
ce commercial husbandry including early weaning, controlled mating and pregnancy testing with cows having to produce a calf every year. Our branding rate is typically over 90%. All calves are raised from weaning, on the Tablelands, adapted to the tropical climate, ticks and buffalo fly. The stud applies strong selection criteria to retained bulls and replacement heifers with emphasis on polledness, sheath, testicles, slick coat, fertility, temperament and structural correctness. Both stud and herd bulls are available for inspection throughout the year with the bulk of bulls rising two years of age in the spring/early summer of each year. We guarantee the fertility of our cattle - with most Pinnacle Pocket bulls being sold with a Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation performed by a certified veterinarian. Our cattle, bred for docility and fertility, are a pleasure to work with. Come and visit our herd for yourself!
