African genetics adapted to Arid Environments

Hartwood have assembled the largest collection of pure bred Tuli bloodlines in Australia from the broadest collection of tropically adapted Tuli genetics in the world outside of Southern Africa and have a comprehensive Solera Composite Breeding program. In addition to the foundation Tuli genetics of high performing animals hand picked by CSIRO scientists in Zimbabwe, we have complimented this with Australian developed bloodlines since this initial import including Terraweena, Riverview & Tremere.

It is our aim to showcase the genetic contribution Tuli bring to the table  & how the breeds’ proven characteristics of:

• fertility
• heat tolerance,
• parasite resistance,
• feed conversion and
• docility

contribute to the profitability potential of selected cross- breeds through targeted, specific, data driven, technology backed and closely monitored breeding for superior all round performance in tropical and arid environments. It is widely regarded that the Tuli  are a superior flat back choice for tropical production and the hybrid vigour Hartwood Tuli genetics bring to any Beef Producer is a greatly under utilised resource.
