Why choose a CIRCLE 8 bull?
- Your CIRCLE 8 bull has been bred and guaranteed by a family seed-stock business which has operated since 1956.
- CIRCLE 8 has based their breeding decisions on economic profit drivers rather than political agendas.
The core principals of CIRCLE 8 are:
- A cow is a factory to produce beef.
- Viable beef production in CIRCLE 8’s opinion requires,
- Maximum FERTILITY – more calves more dollars.
- Optimum GROWTH – moderate and efficient cows.
- Maximum CARCASS POTENTIAL – we breed cattle to eat and we sell cattle by the kilo.
- More muscle, more weight, more dollars. More marbling, more taste, more successful eating experiences, more return counter sales.
SUSTAINABLE approach to trait selection – using all elements, Physical appraisal, EBV selection, DNA technology and structured crossbreeding. Use all available technology respecting its positive’s and understanding its negatives!
HYBRID VIGOUR crossbred cows bred using the above principals are 25% or 1.5 calves over their lifetimes more productive than their pure bred counterparts.

BREED SELECTION – The old saying:
“Their all the same colour when there hanging on the rail”
Albeit true but somewhat out-dated. Use bulls from large well proven populations. Use bulls from progressive, data driven breed societies and breeders alike. Remember not one single breed can encompass all necessary traits for a successful and profitable beef enterprise.
Your CIRCLE 8 bull will be:
- Fertility tested and pass a vet examination pre sale.
- Fully registered with DNA parent verification.
- Scanned and measured for all economic recordable traits.
- Backed by sensible and commercial guarantees
- Developed under commercial conditions.
- Represent excellent value.
