What a day. Thank you!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our sale on Tuesday. It means so much to have you here on farm, walking through the bulls, asking questions and supporting what we do.

A big thank you also to everyone who joined us on Bidr and supported the sale from afar.

A special thank you to our agents and auctioneer for their support throughout the sale process. We really appreciate the work that goes on behind the scenes to help make sale day a success.

And to the incredible group of people who roll up their sleeves and make sale day happen — thank you! The day simply wouldn't come together without the team of people who give their time, energy and support without hesitation. We couldn't do it without you!

We can't wait to see what these bulls go on to achieve in the herds of their new owners. The continued support and loyalty of our returning clients is something we are incredibly proud of, and we truly value the trust you place in our breeding programme.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Waitangi Angus. We look forward to seeing what the future holds and following these bulls on their next journey.

While we must never forget the humble cow... The Waitangi bulls are in and they're looking bloody good to be honest.

✔️ Yearling Angus bulls
✔️ i50K genomic tested, creating high accuracy EBVs on every animal
✔️ Strong calving ease, so they're safe over yearling heifers and dairy cows
✔️ Good growth and carcase merit
✔️ Mature Body Condition EBV. This is exclusive to Angus Australia registered cattle
✔️ Moderate framed, structurally sound, built for NZ conditions

Buy a yearling and get an extra season's work at a lower entry price. Move him onto your mixed-age cows afterwards. These bulls earn their keep from day one.

We'll see you tomorrow.

It’s important to note that the Mature Body Condition EBV provided by Angus Australia is genomically enhanced and has a very strong reference population, bolstered by the Angus Sire Benchmarking Program. Within the Angus Australia database, there are over 68,800 animals that have a phenotypic score for body condition. The greater the reference population, the greater the accuracy.

A difficult calving on a heifer costs more than most people account for. 💰💰💰

Lost condition. Delayed cycling. A stressed calf with a slow start. And a heifer that's harder to get back in calf the following season. Not to mention losing the heifer...

Waitangi Angus bulls are selected for calving ease, and they're backed by genomic data, not guesswork. Put the right bull over your heifers this season and let the genetics do the work. If you're new to heifer mating, give us a call and we can talk you through any concerns.

There are numerous factors which need to be considered when selecting a bull to mate over heifers.

In many cases, the primary aim is to produce a live calf which is born unassisted, with other economic traits (e.g. growth) of secondary importance. Traditionally this has been done by selecting a ‘heifer bull’ to mate over the heifers; that is, a bull with a low birth weight EBV which will produce small calves which are easily calved down by the heifer.
