Victorian Buffalo Industry Council (VicBIC)

Starter Kit

This has been designed to help new entrants in the market.

Neroli and Geoff Eddy of Eddy’s Gourmet Buffalo are offering a Buffalo Starter Kit for people wishing to get into the buffalo Industry. Neroli and Geoff have been running a buffalo herd at Numurkah for ten years and distributing meat products through Eddy’s Gourmet Buffalo. They have a strong belief in the viability of the industry and wish to build the industry by introducing more breeders who they can help support through this starter kit.

The introduction starter kit will provide pregnancy tested in calf cows in groups of five, at a price of $# per cow, in calf to 1/2 cross Riverine bull and $# in calf to pure Riverine bull.

As part of this starter kit, the Eddy’s will guarantee to purchase the resulting calf at nine months of age, at a price of $# per kilogram live weight. It is worth noting that buffalo seldom have calving problems. On the breeder’s part, they will be required to ensure that they have good yards and that the calves have been well handled and are in good condition.

The breeders have the option of disposing of the animals by other means, whilst the Eddy’s have the option of rejecting animals in poor condition or with severe behavior problems.

# Note: It is ABIC’s policy not to display prices on their websites. To find out prices in the Buffalo Starter Kit, please contact Neroli or Geoff Eddy on 03 5862 3358
