Why Choose a Totaranui Bull?
• Totaranui has mated yearling heifers for over 3 decades. Calving ease is inherent in our herd.
• All calves are tagged and weighed at birth accurate recording of birth weights.
• All cattle are i50k genomically tested which includes parent verification (a requirement by Angus Australia, not required in NZ). This gives us a level of information for each female as if she has already got up to 13 calves on the ground and it enhances the accuracies of the ebvs.
• Every cow must have calved as a heifer, or she’s culled.
• Our program has included selection for carcass traits for over 30 years meaning progeny will do well in the recent premium beef programs.
