Eaglehawk Angus

8220;EBV's are part of the selection process. However, they are not at the top of the list. We firstly look at the animal itself. Structural soundness and whether it is the 'Eaglehawk type'. Soft and deep with a wide top and adequate bone. We then account for pedigree, within the type, giving us the genetic diversity that provides some flexibility to our joinings. Once the potential sire bulls have passed these hurdles, we then look at EBV's. The focus being on short gestation and calving ease with good growth. We look for a moderate mature cow weight of between 85 and 95, followed by a heavier carcase with decent eye muscle and positive fat cover for doing ability.
