Halgenaes is a very small stud near Ingham in Tropical North Queensland. Historically the Herbert River District has been the home of The Orient and Mungalla Droughtmaster and Brahman Stud. As our herd is small, we have tried various initiatives, such as importing the first Red Brahman embryos for South Africa into Australia. We have used a blend of old and new genetics. Flushing has been done with mixed success but has given us access to a much wider gene pool than we could normally have achieved. Highlights of our limited showing have been Halgenaes Shaboo winning the Senior Brahman Female at Beef 2000 and Halgenaes Aleeke being the champion Brahman bull calf at the 2004 Cairns show. I am very fortunate to have the help of Trevor Jarvis who has a long involvement in the Brahman industry. Please have a look at our photo gallery and I welcome your call or the chance to show you our cattle. Peter Tuxworth.
