FOSSIL CREEK ANGUS

AT THE FOREFRONT OF BIOSECURITY

Fossil Creek Angus has a strict closed herd policy. Since 2015, we have had a practice of not leasing out yearling or any bulls as
we believe the practice of bringing bulls back into the herd after being used in matings around the country poses a huge risk to
on-farm biosecurity, for a myriad of reasons.

The only cattle that are brought onto our farms are stud bulls purchased at auction from guaranteed BVD-free herds. These
bulls are quarantined upon arrival.

All Fossil Creek stock hold a C10 status and are tested for TB annually, along with full BVD vaccinations as yearlings.
In 2020, Fossil Creek Angus took up the opportunity to be involved in a voluntary ‘whole herd’ testing regime as part of the
National Beef Survey Mycoplasma Bovis programme and we were pleased to officially guarantee that our herd was M.Bovis free.

As a stud we believe it is essential to guarantee to our clients that our closed herd system is water-tight.
