BULL SALE
Alan & Val Park
welcome you to Colvend for our
Annual on Farm Bull Sale.
You are invited to join us for
light refreshments after the sale.
Alan, Valerie & Ash welcome you to our annual on farm bull sale.
Colvend is a 380ha effective rolling to steep hill country farm.
We also run Suffolk and Dorset Down breeding ewes selling rams
yearly and also have a Romney commercial flock.
My farming career began in 1979 on the slopes of Mt Pirongia with
my parents.
We moved to the Tapuiwahine Valley here in June 1998. Purchased
our first Shorthorn cows in May 2000. 2 cows from Jeff Proffit and
the most of Ina Phillips herd from Darfeild in the S.I.
Our prefix back then was Corsock Shorthorns and have since
changed it to Colvend.
In 2013 to 2016 we showed Shorthorn bulls at the Beef Expo in which
we won the Supreme Champion Shorthorn bull 3 years in a row with
two Reserve Champions also.
We purchased our first Angus females in 2016 from the Oakview
Angus Stud (established around 30 years ago). We are grateful to
have had a great line of females to start with (and have females that
have handled our conditions).
Bulls Semen tested by Guy Haynes Totally Vets Feilding.
