Kallam Brahmans is owned and operated by Malcolm and Jane Boys and their children Neil and Isabella, and is situated at Nanneella in Northern Victoria, approximately 20kms from the Murray River, in the tourist town of Echuca. Kallam Brahmans was established in 1998 and registered with the Australian Brahman Breeders Association in 1999.
Malcolm and Jane have travelled extensively sourcing Brahman genetics. The Kallam Brahmans stud has Brahman Genetics to suit all climates and conditions.
"We have all colours primarily red and grey and both horned and polled cattle with poll females making up 20% of our breeding herd. Our goal is to produce quality early maturing correct functional Brahmans rather than quantity."
Malcolm is a professional Artificial Insemination (AI) Technician and has successfully completed the Non-Surgical Embryo Transfer (ET) course. These qualifications will allow the Kallam Brahmans stud to fully utilise their Hudgins genetics and exclusive pedigreed animals. Malcolm is also qualified to offer courses for Do It yourself Artificial Insemination Technicians.
In 2007 Brahman embryos from Jomanda Miss Merlene 173 were successfully exported to New Zealand. In June 2008 semen from Kallam Sam Newman (Poll) and Kallam Merlene's Kruiser will be sent to New Zealand, and will be available through Genetic Enterprises. November 2008 will see Brahman semen sent to Malaysia from Kallam Sam Newman (Poll). Annual events where Kallam Brahmans can be seen are the Stock and Land Beef Week in February and August and the Elmore Field Days in October. The stud is open at other times by appointment for inspection.
The Southern Brahman Breeders Group are in the planning stages to hold an On Farm Challenge (OFC) in March 2009. This event will be supported by Kallam Brahmans and their animals will be showcased there.
