CONFIRMATION AND STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS IS PARAMOUNT
We are proud to say that all the bulls in our sale catalogue have been inspected for structural soundness
and confirmation by New Zealand Angus Association Breed Inspectors.
LONGEVITY and FERTILITY
A large portion of the bulls in this years catalogue are from older cows who have been breeding well for
many years. Rangatira dams have natural maternal instincts and good milking ability regularly weaning
their calves to around 300kg. Fertility is directly related to the scrotal size in bulls. Our average scrotal
measurement for the sale bulls this year is 42.5cm
TEMPERAMENT: We aim to breed quiet, easily handled cattle. They are used to motorbikes, horses
and dogs.
ALL BULLS OFFERED TB AND BRUCELLOSIS FREE. RANGATIRA IS AN ACCREDITED HERD C10.
BREEDPLAN FIGURES ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. NO FEET TRIMMED AT RANGATIRA.
