Consistent bulls the key to success at 19th Angus production sale

We aim to breed bulls with perfect phenotype, soft, deep, with structural strength and docile temperament.

We are focusing heavily on fat cover, muscling and carcase quality in our breeding program, combining these traits to produce cattle which can run at higher stocking rates without losing their ability to finish and be fertile.

Our genetics aim to assist grass finishing producers to breed an animal which can be efficiently finished year-round on grass.

Generations of New Zealand genetics provide a robust, sound, and deep-bodied line of bulls, many years of dedication to performance recording creates performance predictability. Our bulls are guaranteed sound and fertile.

The 2023 sale bulls consist of new outcross genetics including the legendary Rennylea L519 who is producing sound, docile growthy calves with outstanding carcase quality.
