Fertility and growth rates are highly important to the producer so objective measurement has been used at Amberley Park with cattle being performance recorded since 1965. AP's long history of performance recording is constantly tested in grazing trials and carcass competitions, selling over the hooks and feedlot trials. Feedback from our clients is also a major source of  data to utilize in assisting AP's breeding program.

The Galloway bull crosses very well with most breeds. Being a very old  "native" breed the hybrid vigour and evenness of progeny seems to be greater than most.

Galloways and AP's history of natural conditions as far as possible has resulted in: high fertility and easy calving. The most valued animals are `long, thick and deep, with great foraging ability, good maternal characteristics, quite cattle with a soft skin and coat’. 

Galloway steers at the Gippsland Grazing Trials still hold the record for the highest scoring pair of carcasses and the highest marbling score. This pair of steers also had a weight gain of 1.5 kg / day for 7 months. Galloway and their crosses have consistently won or been placed for weight gain and carcass (including saleable meat yield) over the long history of the Trials .
