STUD Our Angus Stud began in 1988 with the purchase of 5 cows from Matauri. We continued buying cows in the 1990s at dispersal sales that included, Hunderlee, Totara Hills, Maunu and Taurikura. Our Angus herd is fully registered and has grown tremendously since 1997. We now farm 220 Angus cows along side 300 cross-bred cows. We aim for a maternal animal with reasonable growth and ease of calving. We mate nearly all our heifers at 15 months for 45 days and cull anything not in calf. Our cows have 42 days with the bull. All females must rear a calf every year or they are culled. Sourcing good quality stud sires is not at all easy. Our requirements for a bull with ease of calving along with growth, fleshing, good temperment and structually sound severely limits our choice. The main limiting factor for our requirements is ease of calving. |
