The uniformity of Line One genetics is highly regarded in the beef industry. Large groups of calves that proceed through the supply chain with consistency deliver predictable and profitable outcomes for Feedlotters, Grass Finishers & Processors alike.
There's a reason a tried and true black baldie is the most favoured cow in America's cow herd. She's accountable, predictable, profitable and sustainable. Her calf and her steer mates are in demand - regardless of end point. 

Jess Herbers, Goose Creek Valley Farms, has had great success using Line One bulls in his commercial angus herd for the past 6 years.

WHY LINE ONE? OUR JOURNEY TO BECOME AUSTRALIA'S FIRST LINE ONE HERD:
We have bred Hereford cattle for a over 25 years however in 2015 we reached a fork in the road. That fork was our first visit to Montana and the herds of Holden & Cooper Herefords. For many years these herds had been a standout in terms of sale averages and their prefixes were consistently evident in the pedigrees of high performing Hereford cattle. What we didn't expect was to be so incredibly overwhelmed by the quality of the cow herds. These cows were without question the finest Hereford cattle we had seen. They were consistent, big bodied, beautifully fleshed, sound makeup and all had a sappy heavy calf at side. The cows were without question maternal and strong in the attributes of fertility, mothering ability, udder quality and marbling. They have a maturity pattern that aligns with the future market opportunity for Hereford cattle. That opportunity is the efficient production of quality beef be it grass fed or short fed. Grassfed is a product consumers want globally and that desire is growing faster than any other product.
Since 2015 we have rebuilt our horned Hereford cattle as solely Line One genetics from the ground up using embryo transplant. This not only places 3R as Australia's only herd of full Line One blood Herefords but more importantly a source of Hereford genetics that are proven world over as a cornerstone to not only the Hereford breed but also the Black Baldy, the Tigerstripe. We believe wholeheartedly that these Hereford cattle are best placed to meet consumer desires and the most profitable Herefords for the Producer.
