Background

We have been breeding simmentals for about 15 years, starting out with two pedigree cows, Hampton Downs Graffitti and Hampton
Downs Gaylena and one pedigree bull, Hampton Downs Genemaster, a Bar 5 Paymaster son. We were fascinated with the temperament and growth of the calves, whether they were pedigree or crossbred. We have built the herd with a concentration of genetics from Hampton Downs Simmentals, but have also purchased a few cows from some other studs in Northland.
