Glenavon Angus Stud "Cattle Bred for Cattleman"

"Cattle Bred for Cattleman"
Richard and Prue Post are excited to be the sixth generation behind the Glenavon Angus Stud. This long association with the Angus breed started in 1888 when the White family of Edinglassie imported Angus cattle from Scotland. The original stud was founded by White Bros. at “Bald Blair” Guyra, this was split between the family in 1949. Glenavon Angus was founded by F. G. White and his sister P. M. Bell who used females principally from this split & subsequent dispersals of Kailua and Abington Studs. In 1969 F. G. Bell started running the stud and grew it significantly in the following decades. The on property annual Bull Sale commenced in 1984, with this year being our 32nd Sale.
We have always kept to and keep going back to the basics, being very conscious of phenotype as well as genotype. We use AI sires extensively each year sourcing superior and new genetics followed up with selected Glenavon Stud Bulls. With Fred’s guidance, our breeding philosophy and objectives that remain focused upon breeding large-framed, soft, fertile, easy doing cattle with strong EBV’s, that calve easily and thrive under commercial conditions.
Glenavon’s aim is to breed cattle for cattleman with the promise of longevity and structural soundness which targets the EU and Japanese B3 markets. We have every confidence our 2016 Sale Bulls on offer on Monday 1st August will perform to your highest standards, providing the best genetics and driving ongoing improvement in your commercial herd.
