TIDKIN SIMMENTALS

Probably the most influential Simmental breeding bull of the 90’s was Brinkton Sovreign. He was Perth Champion in 1988, sired by Lodge Major and out of the famous Stuartslaw Melody. Originally purchased by the Twyford Herd, he arrived at Tidkin in 1992.

Nethan Landsman, a Camus Frontier son sired calves from 2002-06. His calves are easy born and are up and suckling in minutes. His finished bulls all graded exceptionally well and achieved high liveweight gains.

Sterling Royston was purchased at Perth in 2006. Sired by Sterling Flint out of a milky Sterling cow with an EBV of 27.  A number of  sons have been sold as breeding bulls and daughters are retained in the herd.
