Waigroup – for growth

As many farmers have found, extremely high growth
rates may sound great, but are seldom the most
efficient or desirable under New Zealand commercial
farming conditions. High growth rates need high inputs
of top quality feed. Here in New Zealand, beef cattle
are often challenged to convert average quality feed
to above average weight gains.
Waigroup cattle are tested to produce under commercial
conditions. They are run with sheep for most of the
year. They are not, and never will be, pampered or
preferentially fed.
They are bred for the most efficient growth rate, to give
the best balance of economically important EBV’s - and
therefore to maximise your profits.
• Waigroup cattle are bred for optimum feed
conversion and optimum growth rates under
grass fed conditions.

Waigroup - for Soundness

Soundness is vital for longevity and performance. And
the longer your cattle can actively produce on your
farm, the more money you will make. We have cows
at up to 17 years of age, still weaning good calves!

We have placed particular emphasis on udders and
teats on females, and correct leg structure, especially
the back legs of bulls, so vital for ensuring mobility and
lasting serving ability on the hills.
• Our bulls’ feet are guaranteed for three years, one
of the best guarantees in New Zealand.
• Our 2yr bulls are semen and service tested prior
to sale.
• Our cattle have proven staying power and
longevity
