RANGATIRA’S BREEDING OBJECTIVES

To enable COMMERCIAL CLIENTS TO MEET THEIR MARKETS EARLY – We consider this a winner as it
provides huge cost savings to farmers commercially.
We have been a strong supporter of the Angus Bull Evaluation Unit. Entry is open to all Registered Angus
Breeders where up to 40 bulls are run as one mob in a common environment allowing all bulls the opportunity
to express their genetic potential on the same feed at all times. In 2015 we entered 2 bulls who were 1st
and 2nd heaviest for their final weigh in at the Bull Unit. They were both meaty and easy doing bulls. It was
exciting at the 2015 open day to see the people’s choice award go to Atahua 902 who was sired by Kaharau
610 – a bull purchased from us in 2012. In 2016 we entered a very good Lancelot son in the B.E.U. With meat
in all the right places and wonderful overall weight gain (1.3.2016, 804kgs). 2017 Rangatira Bandit 15-109 was
the heaviest bull at the final weigh in at the Angus Bull Evaluation Unit (20.4.17, 850kgs).
On 6th May 2017 9 rising 2 year old bulls from Coventry Station killed out at an average carcase weight of
409kgs realising an average value of $2,113.00 excluding GST.
In March 2017 at the Matawhero Cattle Fair, the highest priced line of steers were from a station using
Rangatira Genetics. Top prices have been achieved by the Studs Commercial Buyers at cattle fairs in other
regions 2016-2020.
2017-2021 Commercial farmer’s results echoed 2017 – Kgs plus equals $ plus. Commercial gains from using
Rangatira Genetics.
2018 Our Rangatira Bull was again the heaviest bull at the National Angus Bull Evaluation Unit achieving the
heaviest weight at all weigh-ins.
2018 Purchased Kaharau Outlander 632 in partnership with Turiroa Angus Stud. New Zealand’s top price bull
in 2018.
2019 Purchased Tangihau Top Gun N436. New Zealand’s top price bull in 2019.
2020-2021 Dispersal Sales achieved a complete clearance of 450 lots catalogued. We are extremely proud
that all lots passed NZAA inspection.

Investing in the Future!
