Pinnacle Pocket Cattle

Pinnacle Pocket Cattle Pinnacle Pocket breed fertile Senepol and Senepol composite cattle well adapted to the Tropics Our branding rate is typically over 90%.

Pinnacle Pocket breed fertile Senepol and Senepol composite cattle (with Droughtmaster) well adapted to the conditions of tropical Australia. The Pinnacle Pocket operation is based on the Atherton Tablelands, west of Cairns, bear Malanda on the North Johnstone River. In producing cattle, we follow best-practice commercial husbandry including early weaning, controlled mating and pregnancy testing w

ith cows having to produce a calf every year. All calves are raised from weaning, on the Tablelands, adapted to the tropical climate, ticks and buffalo fly. The stud applies strong selection criteria to retained bulls and replacement heifers with emphasis on polledness, sheath, testicles, slick coat, fertility, temperament and structural correctness. Both stud and herd bulls are available for inspection throughout the year with the bulk of bulls rising two years of age in the spring/early summer of each year. We guarantee the fertility of our cattle - with most Pinnacle Pocket bulls being sold with a Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation performed by a certified veterinarian. We are also a Pestivirus-free herd. Our cattle, bred for docility and fertility, are a pleasure to work with. Come and visit our herd for yourself! Peter is also an Agricultural consultant in Agronomy and soil science - AAA agronomist, CPAg, Applied biology, Soils and Land Systems and Grazing Land Management.

Tim Schatz, Director of Livestock Industries at NT DAF, recently travelled to Puerto Rico to speak at the Senepol Cattle Breeders Association international convention 🌍🐮

Tim discussed the Department’s Senepol crossbreeding project which ran from 2009–2019, finding that crossbreeding with Senepols was a viable way for northern producers with Brahman herds to quickly produce animals with more tender meat and lower boning group scores. This should give more marketing options as the crossbred progeny are suitable for both the domestic and live export markets (although there is currently a preference against crossbreds in the live export market). F1 Senepol steers outperformed Brahman steers in an Indonesian feedlot and had better boning room yield. F1 Senepol heifers outperformed Brahman heifers in the Katherine region while there was no difference in performance between the breeds in mature cows.

Thank you to the Senepol Cattle Breeders Association for the opportunity to showcase Northern Territory research on a global scale!

Our Senepol showteam being prepared for Beef Week 2024 in Rockhampton from 6-10 May. They will have to be down there from the 3rd.

A special thanks to Murray Hair, Jessy-Ka Duffield and the kids at Calvary Christian College, Mt Louisa; and Ms Kellie Williams for the breaking-in and feeding work. You all are doing a fantastic job.

Come and visit Pinnacle Pocket Cattle at the showsheds. We have 3 junior heifers, 2 junior bulls and 3 Senior bulls, each a different phenotype… but showing the genetic diversity in the Senepol breed from early maturity, to taller and lengthy bulls with a softer look (meat and finish). Ideal animals for crossbreeding programs as either maternal or terminal sires.

All have impeccable temperament, sleek coat, polled, a great growth pattern, good sheaths and scrotal size etc. We believe bulls should “have a head like an aristocrat, back like a billiard table and a butt like a Dutch lady”. Pardon the pun… but they should have a masculine bully head, a flat back and large rump!

Check out this funny young bull of ours, 3-62, playing with the water at the school - being prepared for beef 2024. Only ever seen them slurp... not lick! Funny. Lapping like a dog.

The term, Stayability is a commonly re-occurring theme to emerge every bull selling season. Much of the impetus for these discussions is driven by consultants and advisors who look to encourage producers to consider the cost of a bull and its potential working life. However, working life of a bull a...

The Best Way to ‘Save the World’ is to Eat Meat!

It appears there are little to no studies, or data, on the toxicology, nutrition profiles, product stability, allergy risks, contamination risks and adverse effects from these new ‘cell-based’ ‘meat’ products.
A 2023 ‘Food Hazards Identification’ report, published by the British Food Standards Agency (BFSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS), even admits to there being “considerable gaps in knowledge” when it comes to ‘fake’ meat production, and its consumption by humans.
According to the report:
“There are many stages of development for producing cultured meat … from taking a cell line from a small vial or biopsy and increasing the culture volume stepwise in stages (proliferation), until a commercial sized bioreactor can be seeded, to differentiating the cells to final desired cell type. At each stage, different chemicals, biologics, media formulations, additives and supplements are used to ensure a successful culture.”
Considering this multistep processing that cell-based meat undergoes, it’s simply not possible for it to be as healthy, safe or sustainable as conventional meat.
As the Journal of Cleaner Production said in 2022:
“Ultra-processed foods are fundamentally unsustainable products; they have been associated with poor health and social outcomes and require finite environmental resources for their production.”
Without any proper studies being done, however, it could be decades before the full health and environmental effects are known.
By then it will be too late to roll back.
Meanwhile, peer-reviewed research shows that natural meat, produced regeneratively, can sink carbon into the ground while building biodiversity and healthy soils.
The cows they want to replace with lab-grown concoctions, are therefore critical to recapturing carbon via healthy pasture lands.
Most of this new food technology is heavily funded by global banks, governments and sovereign wealth funds, not to mention billionaire activists like Bill Gates.
The owners of all the patents and intellectual property rights to this technology, will gain enormous, god-like powers over the world’s food systems.
This must not be allowed to happen.
Luckily the solution is in OUR hands.
Say NO to ‘alternative protein’ sources and EAT MEAT!

After all we don’t need the rich becoming richer, whilst loosing our Farmers so then we can become sick, poor and dependent.
