Please see our Site Visit section below.

The number of cows a bull can service typically depends on the bull's age, health, and experience. Here are some general guidelines:

Yearling Bulls (12-18 months old):

A young bull can usually service around 15-18 cows. It's recommended to limit the number to ensure the bull doesn't become overworked and can effectively cover the cows.

Mature Bulls (2-5 years old):

A mature, healthy bull can service around 20-30 cows, though some bulls may be able to handle more this depends on experience and vigour.

We can only hold cattle once the animal is paid for in full. Typically, cattle purchases must be collected within 7 days of finalizing the purchase. However, in certain cases, we may be able to extend this collection period, but this must be discussed and agreed upon before the sale.

All cattle are included in a regimented annual vaccination and health treatments.

• Double vaccinated with Ultravac 7-in-1 - Once Annually
• Piliguard Pinkeye Vaccine - Once Annually
• Zeromec Gold Borad Spectrum Antiparisitic Injection for Cattle - Twice Annaully
• Multimin® Evolution - Twice Annually.
• Drenching - Twice Annually

For treatment information relating to specific cattle, please contact Zele Angus.

Every bull sold is guaranteed to be a breeder at the time of sale and remains guaranteed fertile for 12 months thereafter. If a bull is found to be infertile or unable to naturally serve cows (excluding issues caused by injury or disease after the sale), the purchase price, minus salvage value, will be refunded. Alternatively, if a suitable replacement is available, compensation can be arranged in this manner. Please note that we do not issue credits for use at future sales.

We strongly encourage arranging a site visit to inspect the animal you are interested in purchasing.

Inspections are by appointment only; please contact Zele Angus to schedule a viewing, and they will have the animal yarded in advance of your visit.

Customers wishing to proceed with a purchase will be provided with a Buyers Form, containing all the necessary information to facilitate the transfer of the animal into your name.

If you are purchasing directly through Zele Angus, we will issue a formal invoice for payment. You can also make an online payment, using any points or rewards programs you may have.

If you are purchasing through an agent, your agent will discuss payment options with you, and we will coordinate directly with your agent.

Whilst it is very unlikely that our bulls are infertile, we prefer to be sure before delivering them to their new home. For this reason a physical examination and semen testing is conducted post-purchase.

Bulls are vet-checked by West Gippsland Veterinary Services, including a thorough examination of the penis, palpation of reproductive organs, and a visual inspection of structure and locomotion. Additionally, a crush-side test for semen motility is conducted at the same time with results provided to the buyer.

In the event the bull fails a semen test, the buyer may:

1. Withdraw from the sale altogether or;
2. Retain the option to purchase the bull pending a satisfactory result at an agreed future date or;
3. Elect to take a satisfactory replacement.

We strongly recommend insuring your cattle before shipment, as Zele Angus absolves any responsibility once the cattle leave our property. Please note that no additional warranties are provided if shipment is arranged through our preferred freight forwarder.
