This move has been evolving over the past four to five years.
The first time I heard of the breed was when a friend, Sean Hayden, who had been using Stabilisers for a few years, asked me if I would run a bull with some cows to see what we thought of the breed.
The Stabiliser breed was established in America by the Leachman Cattle company in the 1970s. Stabiliser is a composite breed, made up of Simmental, Red Angus, Hereford and Gelbvieh, a German breed. This means that one of the strengths of the breed should be hybrid vigour.
