Otapawa Poll Herefords is your first choice for making a Black and White impact
in your herd providing faster gain, increased fertility and superior meat quality.

The science shows that Hereford cross steers and heifers hit target weights faster and an extra 15%
growth means they command sale yard premiums. Cows produce more over a lifetime because they live
longer and have a 7% higher pregnancy rate than purebreds. You can’t argue with genetics when it comes
to maximising the value of your herd. Otapawa Poll Herefords specialise in providing these industry profit
driving traits. Low birth, high growth performance cattle.
