Our Philosophy

Here at Waitangi Angus we believe that the basics of your Beef Breeding programme should be taken care of by us, in that all the bulls for sale are structurally sound, from a commercially farmed Cow herd of which fertility and reproductive performance is expected, along with good temperament and constitution. That is our job… We know our Bulls shift and adapt well.

As a bull buyer the decisions you make are reflected in the progeny you breed and market. EBV’s combined with genomics enhance the information you have available to influence the direction and financial rewards of your programme. Combine this with your feed quality and management practices to optimize your opportunities.

It is exciting to see a number of players in our meat industry now recognizing superior carcasses and developing programmes to reward those suppliers who produce them, marbling plays a key part in those rewards.

This genetic information works in many other farming industries, ie chicken, dairy, pork, turkey to name a few where the gains in animal performance have been significant and financially rewarding. The Beef industry is no different, Progeny tests in the US, Australia and now here confirm this. Use this information and technology to move and enhance your Breeding Programme to where you want to go, be it producing top weaners or finishing high end premium cattle.

There is no doubt that there will be increasing competition and pressure on our farming management systems from social, animal welfare, environmental, feed efficiency perspectives. Consumer expectations through choice and technology will be greater, if we are to grow and sustain our premium NZ Products, we should be using these tools along with good farming practice.

Finalists in the Northland Ballance Farm Environment awards, this helps to confirm our commitment to business sustainability, that you can also leverage off as part of your farm profile. Focus on the end consumer, this is the name of the game

“We are a consumer orientated breeding programme using proven performance genetics to enhance commercial returns for our clients”.

If we can be of any assistance in aiding your bull selection, explanations or in any other matters please ask.

Kind regards
