spenbar charbray stud

Our Charbray herd originated from an excess of Brahman females. We then purchased Charolais Bulls from John Sullivan's Charolais Stud based at Condamine.

Since this diversification in 1992, these offspring have excelled in all aspects. Spenbar runs single sire herds for our Charolais Bulls crossing them with our red and grey Brahmans.

We currently run approximately 200 Charbray cows using outside sires from Moongool, RNJ, Mixhill and Spring Grove as well as our own sires.
The Charbray combines the hardiness, pest resistance, fat coverage and mobility of the Brahman breed and yet retains the softness, rapid weight growth, fertility and mothering ability of the Charolais.

Charbray's offer heavier weaning weights, good feed conversion, and carcases which are high yielding and suitable to all markets from local trade through to our export Japanese Ox market. Charbray's are a sort after breed whether it be stores, finished cattle, bulls or breeding females.

An example of Spender's commitment to the Charbray breed is its showing at the Harry Redford Show and Sale at Roma (August 2002) where Spenbar took out the following awards:-
