The 541 cow Family is known for fleshing ability, muscle, milk, and scrotal circumference.
The 541 Cow Family has re-written the record books for the US’ leading Brangus Studs, Camp Cooley Ranch, Mound Creek, Cavenders and the Oaks. It continues to produce numerous AI sires and progeny with big EPD packages.
This family continually produces top 541 sires including Hombre, Middleman, Tracker, New Era, and Captain of Brinks, as well as Mound Creek Real Deal, which sold for US$44,500 as a yearling.
At Telpara Hills, we have always understood and appreciated the role of cow families in successful breeding. This concept was used in the Angus breed since its beginnings and today in the most prominent cattle studs across almost all breeds.
Very simple in its design, this method has enabled diligent studstock breeders to consistently identify certain genetic traits associated with individual cow families.
All females are named and branded with the number representing their cow family. This number is given to all females born tracing back to the original female. For example, all progeny of Miss Backside 468P6, a member of the famous “468” cow family, will carry the 468 brand on their hip followed by an identifier that is unique to the individual animal.
Due to years of intense selection for performance traits, top cow families produce lines that are highly predictable and profitable. We have handpicked females from top families abroad, and have chosen a few select females here in Australia to become the original female of her own family.

Miss Brinks CEO 468N26
Telpara Hills’ 146 cow family was initiated with the purchase of Greendale U146. We chose this female for her outstanding balance and excellent performance data.
Both her natural and ET calves have inherited her balance and exhibit outstanding fleshing ability and muscle. This family is one of our most popular and profitable.
Simply put, this is one of the very best cow families currently available worldwide.
By blending lower birth weight, high growth rates, maternal excellence and top REA measurements, this 468 cow family is highly prized by leading studs.
We now have several 468 donor females that are all outstanding in every way including phenotype, performance, and pedigree. Both are bred from long lines of leading Brangus cattle and are sure to continue to breed excellent progeny.
If you are looking for predictable performance, look to the Telpara Hills 468 family.
The 820 cow family is a newer generation family known for being big, growthy, heavily-muscled females, yet they still have that brood cow look about them.
This family is also exciting as an outcross to many of the dominant Brangus bloodlines.
The 392 family is one of the dominant and more famous cow families from the Brinks herd. This has been a cash cow family for the brinks herd with the great Miss BB New Newsmaker 392B3 generating $225,573.50 in sales. Great progeny from this family include KO, Sundance and Jesse of Brinks.
The 535 cow family has a tradition of producing bulls and females that are leaders in milk, scrotal circumference, rib-eye, and marbling. It has left its mark in Brangus, leaving behind scores of stylish and functional females and herd sires. Famous bull names include Cowboy, Independence, Trooper, Ditka, Rowdy, Best Bet, Blanda and Brinks Brightside 535L41.
Telpara Hills’ 535 line traces back to 535W3, the second highest money earner at Camp Cooley Ranch.
‘Powerful’ is the best word to describe the 920 cow family. This family produces calves with grunt that stand above their peers for early growth.
920 genetics will add growth and size to cattle that need a boost in performance.
