The GK herd is built around foundation families purchased from several
Australian dispersal sales, along with females resulting from imported Canadian
embryos and Canadian dams we selected ourselves.

Cow families originated from Brylor, IBR, Oakleigh Park and Kansas.
We place great emphasis on udders, feet, temperament and the ability of the
female to raise a calf well and go back into calf under Queensland conditions.

At the end of 2006 we purchased the outstanding Canadian females, Red Howe
MS Ruba DDH 7H and Red Compass MS Dividend 815J, to add two more, well
known cow families, to our herd.

RED HOWE MS RUBA DDH 7H

RED HOWE MS RUBA DDH 7H I.D. CANF941097

Born: 24.01.98
Sire: Red Towaw Zama 148F
Dam: Red Howe Ms Kuruba DDH 101F

RED HOWE MS RUBA DDH 7H was purchased outright in October 2006 out of
the Jackson Cattle Co. Dispersal in Saskatchewan, Canada. Ruba is an
awesome female from the Kuruba cow family and every natural calf she has had,
has ended up in a stud herd.

Ruba was flushed in 2007 at Bovatech in Canada. We have embryos out of Ruba by Mulberry,
Pasquale, New Trend and Sequoia in the country now. We have a limited amount of embryos
available for sale. Please enquire if you are interested.

Thankyou to Hugh Bennett and family of Boonah Qld who purchased the Ruba x Pasquale
embryo package in the 2008 National Sale for $900/embryo.

Ruba is a big female with a bombproof temperament and a very good production record.
