Neil HellyarOwner & Operator NRAB evolved from a history of past companies involved in different aspects of bovine genetics. Having grown up on the family dairy farm at Nimbin and being fourth generation on the land. NRAB originated from a long standing service known as Norco Herd Improvement Services which operated throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s then selling to Consolidated Herd Improvement Services (CHIS) from Victoria and that is when I had a career change in 2000.
In 2002 Genetics Australia (GA) bought out CHIS and I operated the Northern NSW branch until 2012 introducing a few more services and gaining valuable experience from staff involved in different aspects of the company. In 2012 GA decided to close all branches and only concentrate on the Head Office and collection centre at Bacchus Marsh so we decided to purchase the Northern Rivers Branch as it would have left a huge void in this area of cattle production for my valued clients. I was soon able to add extended services to my business to meet farmers demands which weren't previously accessible in our area. NRAB endeavour to offer all aspects related to improve better genetic gain for cattle production and will soon be able to add embryo transfer to our services. |
