The stud was founded in 1972, and now runs 110 stud females. We aim to increase this number to 150 in the years ahead. Females have been added to the herd in recent times with purchases from the TARA, PINAROO, NORALLA and KELLY WALLAH and HARTWOOD reduction and dispersal sales.
Highlights for the stud include Gralyn Defender selling to Hardigreen Park for $46,000 in 2009, Gralyn B806 selling to Diamond H Stud for $18,000 in 2007 and a heifer selling for $6,000 at the Inaugural Santa Central Sale in 2006 and Gralyn Honda selling to Brookside Stud for $20,000 in 1996.

| Brookside Volume | $16,000 |
| Wave Hill Z31 | $11,000 |

Gralyn aims to breed both polled and horned cattle with the emphasis on weight gain, fertility, structural soundness and muscle whilst retaining good breed character.
Gralyn believes in showing as a good form of breed promotion, and as such will again show a small team at the 2010 Brisbane EKKA.
