DS BRADLEY & AJ MACKAY - DSB

​Our cattle farming business was established in 2004 with six Santa Gertrudis 2X cows and a classified bull which were generously given to Doug by Michael Rankin of Hartwood Pastoral Company when Doug left his employment to start his own farm. Doug had worked for Mike for 9 years gaining valuable experience in breeding Santa Gertrudis stud cattle.
Shortly after moving from Hartwood Station near Cobar NSW to our farm, Nottingham Park, Ashford, another ten cows were purchased from Mike, which, together with the original six cows, formed a foundation herd of Santa Gertrudis females. Our entire herd has been bred from these hardy cattle from western NSW. We registered our stud in 2011. A full set of records enabled our herd to be inspected, with a significant proportion of our females being classified.
Our first bull Hartwood 781 (PS) (AI) was the son of Murgo Farrer (PS) and Hartwood 552 (P). A naturally quiet bull he was very amenable to pats, scratches and even being sat upon. Along the way we have purchased sires from Waco, Yulgilbar, Hallcraig, Glenn Oaks, Welbatch, Diamond H and Tookey Creek Studs.
Our focus is breeding dark poll bulls which are naturally quite to handle whilst retaining plenty of Santa breed character. The majority of our female herd is polled, and we use only poll or poll scur sires. We routinely conduct horn-poll genetic testing on our bulls and offer a number of homozygous (PP) poll bulls for sale each year.
Our bulls are fully vaccinated for three day sickness, 7 in 1, vibro, pesti-virus, and tick fever.
We are thankful to be able to sell bulls at this year’s Western Downs Santa Group sale and also have a number of bulls available for purchase privately in the current season.
Please feel free to contact Doug or Alison if you have any queries about our bulls. We welcome inspections of our bulls on property at any time.
