The proof is in the feedback sheet ...

At Boogalgopal, we strongly believe in breeding bulls to meet commercial requirements.

Our confidence in the ability of our high grade Brahmans to meet market requirements has led us over the years to enter trials to promote carcase attributes.

EU Accredited since 2000, Boogalgopal EU beef processed through Beenleigh and AMH Dinmore, has consistenlty achieved a
96-100% success rate with chiller assessment criteria. Our purebred Brahman beef as well as our Charolais infused beef is the perfect article for this market with steers turned off grass between 20-28 months of age.

With proof in each feedback sheet received from the meatworks, we no longer feel the need to prove the marketability of our beef through the continued entry into trials.

Major achievements have been notched up however in the past ...

Champion Females produce Champion Bulls

Boogalgopal is well known for the quality of our female lines. For the past 15 years, we have been in the winners circle at the North Burnett John James Prime Cattle Show including Champion Pen 2004, 2005, 2007. The top priced Pen of Charbray and Brahman cows was also awarded to Boogal Cattle Co in 2008.

The champion pen of Females in 2005 contained 3 of the same females that took out the Champion pen of Replacement Heifers in 1989! This is a real testament to the fertility of our females.
