At Barana stud sires are selected with a medium frame, soft, thick & well-muscled with plenty of capacity & a silky, fine, slick coat. Good feet, a strong muzzle & a sirey head are also very important attributes. Over the past 20 years breeding has also concentrated on poll genetics in the herd.

Barana has sold numerous bulls into every mainland state in Australia over the past four decades with many sold into Queensland. Barana bulls are suited to all Australian conditions with particular emphasis on meeting the requirements of northern cattle breeders.
