The Trifecta Tale

Trifecta Charbrays was born after a deep running passion for the breed united Bryce and Lucy Moore in more ways than one. From their first introduction the pair realised they’d each met someone with a love for Charbrays rivalling their own. In line with the old catchphrase “if you can’t beat them, join them,” Bryce and Lucy teamed up, turning their prior knowledge and experience towards launching a Charbray seedstock operation in 2017. Bryce was raised in the red buffel and mulga country north of Bollon, South West Queensland. A fifth generation cattleman, Bryce saw Charbray’s longevity and marketability first hand where frequent dry spells often forced the family’s females onto a 100 per cent mulga diet until the season broke.

Despite these challenges the cattle survived and thrived, achieving at least 80 per cent conception rates through some of the worst joining conditions. More calves ready for sale at weaning and more cows returning to the paddock- Charbrays were the answer for the west.

Bryce started sourcing small mobs of Charbray cows himself from the age of 14 and purchased his first Charbray sire at 18. He fondly remembers his first Charbray breeder, Custard, creatively named for her colouring.Bryce’s cows were run alongside his parents’ Carbene Grazing Charbray herd. The rotation of Charbray sires allowed Bryce to grow his numbers and establish the third branch of the Trifecta tree.
