The New Zealand Angus Association Inc

The New Zealand Angus Association is an Incorporated Society which aims to promote the use of the Angus breed within New Zealand and maintain the ongoing integrity of the breed. The Association is governed by a council of seven (7) members with the assistance of the General Manager. Each board director represents a geographical area (Ward) and is elected on an annual basis with the President holding office for a two year period. The council meet on a regular basis to discuss the Association's direction and set policy. The Association maintain and update the New Zealand Pedigree Register using the BREEDPLAN performance recording system. It provides breeders with valuable performance reports enabling them to further enhance their stud farming objectives. It also undertakes national promotion, provides assistance with individual advertising & promotion (see promotions section) and offers a wide range of farm-based services. The Association provides input into industry-wide issues and co-ordinates breed marketing opportunities. Along with an Annual magazine and bi-monthly newsletters, an annual herd book and Genetic Evaluation report of registered bulls and cows are published and distributed to all breed members as part of the 'membership package'. The herd book entries are the recorded progeny of approximately 25,000 stud Angus cows farmed nationwide. As an Angus breeder you can expect:

> Cattle well suited to New Zealand's farming systems.
> Cattle with great adaptability to the varying conditions of altitude, topography, climate, nutrition and management.
> Cattle with the resilience to cope with feed shortages and to recover quickly from drought and harsh winter conditions.
> Easy calving, high growth rate sires capable of producing progeny meeting market requirements - In a large organised cross breeding trial in New Zealand, females mated to Angus sires showed fewer problems at calving than those mated to a selection of seven other breed sires.
> Calves which grow rapidly and efficiently on pasture or in a feedlot, reaching heavy weights when about eighteen months of age.
> Dams which are known for their fertility, hardiness and proven ability to get in calf quickly and consistently.
> Dams which calve without assistance and produce fast finishing progeny.
> Dams who are good foragers, with a long life span and constant production.
> Angus beef that consistently achieves more desirable results in carcass quality determinants such as marbling, fat depth, meat colour and pH assuring a tastier and more tender product. (For further details on Angus beef please refer to the section on AngusPureª.)

Registrations for the 2026 Angus NZ tour are flowing in and the tour committee promise to deliver a fun and informative tour, with excellent cattle, fantastic tourism highlights and a comprehensive look around Northland.

As the conference keynote speaker, Helical’s Dan Garrick will talk on using data agility to progress greater global genetic capabilities for Angus NZ members now and into the future.The Helical work is important to ensure a greater reference population within NZ and under NZ conditions, giving the optimal conditions to analyse and compare the genetic population of registered Angus cattle in New Zealand.

Dan will also cover off where he sees NZ beef data and genetic evaluation systems moving to over the next decade - with the increasing use of artificial intelligence (Ai), genomics, wearables, dairy-beef and integrated value chains.

Introducing Genangus Future leader 2026, all the best Kate!

My name is Kate Campbell I am 26 years’ old, grew up in North Canterbury, and have
always had a passion for agriculture and the outdoors. I attended Rangiora High School
before completing a Bachelor of Agriculture at Lincoln University in 2020. Since then, I
have been shepherding in the South Island, currently working at Mt Arrowsmith Station
with sheep, beef and deer as well as having my own Merino wool classing run over
winter. My partner and I have recently moved back to his family station, Castle Ridge,
where we are working alongside them to one day stepping into a management role. We
are wanting to grow our wee Merino stud and breed an elite mob of cattle to start
breeding some of our own bulls for the station. In my spare time I enjoy riding my horse,
training dogs and getting active in our amazing country.

I see the GenAngus Future Leaders Program as a great way to develop more leadership
skills and gain a deeper understanding of real-world business skills such as farm
financials and succession planning from respected professionals, which my partner
and I are currently navigating. I also want to build lifelong connections and friendships
with likeminded people in the industry like I did at the World Angus Forum. I feel it would
grow me as a person and allow me to return home with new ideas to contribute to ou
farming operation and to the wider industry.

The Angus NZ GenAngus Future Leaders Program is a prestigious, intensive 3-day workshop designed for young, ambitious Angus New Zealand members (aged 18–40) to develop business, leadership, and technical skills for the beef industry. It provides networking with professionals, mentorship, and strategies to launch or grow their own beef enterprises.

The Angus NZ AGM will take place on Sunday 22 March 2026 at 4.30pm at the Copthorne Hotel & Resort, Tau Henare Drive, Paihia.

Angus NZ members are invited to head to the very top of the country for the Gallagher Discover Northland Conference, hosted by our Northland Angus Ward.

The first studs we visit are Rorira Angus and Te Atarangi Angus, setting the tone for a tour that showcases both established and emerging Angus operations across the region. From there, the programme will highlight the diversity of Angus breeding in Northland, with visits to a mix of long-standing studs and newer breeders.

While Northland may be home to a smaller number of Angus breeders, it offers an outstanding area to explore — rich in history, character and natural beauty. Highlights include travelling through the iconic Waipoua Forest to visit Tāne Mahuta, a stop at the beautiful Omapere Hotel overlooking the Hokianga Harbour, and a boat trip in the Bay of Islands — a true Northland experience.

This conference promises a memorable blend of Angus cattle, exceptional scenery and warm Northland hospitality. We look forward to welcoming members north for what is shaping up to be a standout event on the Angus NZ calendar.
