Developed in the early 90’s by Mr Rob McKinlay “Austral Park” Arcadia Valley Queensland. Nearly the entire herd was purchased by my parents, Neil and Rosalie, hence their commencement of Watasanta Black Santas. Now trading as Black Santa Cattle Company.

These black magestic cattle have been run and operated purely as a top end commercial herd with seed stock breeding principles applied. The black poll santa was bred from putting black santa bulls over black santa females for nearly 20 years, stabilizing the type of animal genetically. We are aiming for homozygous black poll herd

The Black Santa combine the best attributes of both breeds - the dominate black and poll genes of the Angus and the slick coat and good skin type of the Santa Gertrudis, with the weight gain and hardiness of the Santa Gertrudis.
