Barana Simmental & Angus

Barana Simmentals was founded by Peter Cook in 1980 on traditional European & NZ bloodlines. Over 40 years of breeding has reinforced Barana's long held reputation with both commercial & stud cattle producers selling bulls nationwide & securing a solid client base. Barana bulls are suited to all Australian conditions with particular emphasis in meeting the requirements of northern cattle breeders.
Barana's stud herd includes 220 purebred Simmental females. We place great importance on breeding for ease of calving, milk production & fertility & females must be able to rear a calf under natural conditions. Barana endeavours to breed bulls that produce steers that are quick growing with good carcase characteristics & the ability to finish. Over the past 20 years we've concentrated on poll genetics.
At Barana we source stud sires with a medium frame, soft, thick & well-muscled with plenty of capacity & a silky, fine, slick coat. We value good feet, a strong muzzle & a sirey head.
