Mark, Sherrie and Jake Stokman feel they have a duty to provide the beef sector with cattle that are improving year on year.
Every technological tool is used to ensure everything there is to know about Stokman Angus is available.
Every registered calf born is HD50k DNA tested at birth which increases the EBV accuracy and verifies parentage.
Not all breeders verify parents and it is amazing the cows that switch calves, Jake says.
“We even had twins out of two different sires, DNA takes away the guess work.”
Sale bulls are carcass scanned and fertility tested by Totally Vets, ensuring the bulls are 100 per cent ready to go when leaving the farm.
Stokman Angus’ annual spring sale is coming up on Wednesday, September 21. One hundred yearling registered Angus bulls and 40 R1 heifers will sell, starting at 1pm.
Thirty bulls will be carried on to put in the June sale, which are higher birthweight, cow mating bulls.
The remaining bulls are generally sold by private treaty to local dairy farmers looking for low birthweight, easy calving genetics.
“One of our main breeding philosophies is that we want farmers to be able to go home at night and wake up in the morning and the cattle have calved down and they don’t have to worry about a heifer that’s had a problem calving,” Jake says.
Like his parents, Jake believes that when you purchase a Stokman bull you’re buying an investment for the future.
