INTRODUCING THE SUPERIOR QUALITIES OF SLICK ANGUS

For the past two decades, Kurra-Wirra has focused on breeding cattle that impact positively and profitably on the Australian beef industry. By blending the robust characteristics of Angus with the Senepol’s heat tolerance and parasite resistance, slick-coat gene, we’ve developed cattle that are ideally suited for the northern climates. Our kw. Slick Angus cattle has superior fertility, growth, and carcass quality, all while retaining the vital slick coat gene for optimal performance in the heat. These bulls provide a very distinct advantage to commercial beef breeding operations in Northern Australia, focused on increased production and efficiency as well as higher value carcases from hot northern environments.

This deliberate genetic combination ensures that our kw. Slick Angus bulls have higher fertility rates and accelerated calf growth, allowing for earlier weaning as they reach heavier weights at younger ages. This accelerated growth decreases the time calves need to graze before being sold, boosting profitability, reducing methane production and carbon footprint which provides a more environmentally sustainable solution.

We call this new breed, the ‘kw. Slick Angus’.
