While Silverstream has been synonymous with Charolais, the Fishers have recently added a Hereford stud to the mix.
Anna, who has an agricultural science degree, is just as passionate about stud breeding as her husband, and her parents Pete and Jill Smyth run the Na Puteputi Hereford stud at Wairoa in the North Island.
Anna and Brent have moved some of the stud cattle down to the South Island to continue breeding the bloodlines that Anna’s parents have established.
