Wenmar Beef Shorthorns presents our Melita Rose Family of beef shorthorn cattle. Our aim is to breed quality bulls and heifers suitable to carry the breed forward onto the next generation. Wenmar Beef Shorthorns are members of PCHS, and all our cattle carry a very high health status.
Photo taken October 2023. Melita Rose M164 is definitely one of my favourite cows. Every time I walk into her field I am drawn to her. In 2021 she had a bull calf which was stacked with potential, but unfortunately we lost him with a twisted gut at 5 months old. In 2022 she produced us our best heifer calf, and her 2023 heifer is much the same. M164 has tremendous breeding from her sire Crooked Post Stockman and the great Waukaru Patent's mother Waukaru 12H Melita Rose, a perfect blend of Canadian and US proven genetics. I always say that anything is for sale at our farm, at the right price. I just hope that no one comes along and makes me an offer I cannot refuse!
Myostatin Status: Zero
Photo taken October 2023. Melita Rose T055 is another great heifer from M164. She again has tremendous growth and is following right behind her family tradition in type and build. We had high hopes when we bred her mother the first time to North East Legend so why would we change. She currently has matched her full sister S43 in our hopes as a heifer calf. What are we going to do with all these great females?
Myostatin Status: Awaiting Test
Photo taken October 2023. Melita Rose S43 is certainly developing as we had hoped. She has tremendous growth and is following right behind her mother M164 in type and build. We had high hopes when we bred her mother to North East Legend. S43 currently has fulfilled all of our hopes as a heifer and is due to calve as 2 year old in the spring. Her pedigree is stuffed full of premier genetics from Canada and the US. She and her mother are the type that will be kept with us for some time to come we hope.
