Semen for Sale
In 1954 there was an obvious need in the Australian Tropics for a breed of cattle which would have a more placid temperament, be highly fertile, and utilise the environment and its pastures in the most efficient manner to give high weight gains The Belmont Red was therefore conceived at Belmont Research Station as a composite breed using Africander (African Sanga) and Hereford-Shorthorn (Bos Taurus) to fulfil that need – and further developed by commercial breeders. Belmont Red cattle are noted for their high fertility. Large commercial herds running on native pastures in both Queensland and the Northern Territory have calving rates above 90% achieved in large breeder groups containing 5000 head. On high nutrition pasture, calving rates of 95% and higher have been attained (Australian Bureau of Statistics show the Australian average at 66%).Males are sexually mature by 12/15 months, females 10/14 months and/or 250kg liveweight with low levels of dystochia (calving difficulties) and good mothering ability.

Belmont Australia has over the last few years moved its breed codes to foundation breed percentages to accommodate other Belmont Composites, together with other purebreds in the analysis. The database now has representations from Charolais, Brahman, Boran, Tuli, Senepol, Angus, Limousin, Bonsmara, Belmont, and Droughtmaster.
Belmont Australia is encouraging composite cattle to be recorded on the Australian Composite Register and have the data included in their annual GROUP BREEDPLAN analysis.
