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.)

Early on April 28, the Generation Angus team flew out of Christchurch, headed for Sydney to compete in the youth competition at the World Angus Forum. What followed were some of the most intense, but enjoyable days of my life.

The competition consisted of 12 teams, each of four men and women aged under 25. A total of 11 countries were represented from around the globe. The competition was designed to test our knowledge, skills and teamwork across a range of farming applications, both theory and practical.

The first part of the competition was held in Bathurst, where we were judged on a farm consultancy module, a mock media interview and given the brief for our social media reel.

Wherever you look, the numbers are big at Ohinewairua Station.
Just out of Moawhango on the Taihape-Napier road, the station is on the large side at 7500 hectares, and the three main stock classes of 18,000 ewes, 1300 cows and 1200 hinds both compete and complement each other at different times of the year.

For a start, the station is high and can get cold, where windchill dips to minus 16C in winter, Mark Haynes says, but it has not put him off the place, where he has been the manager for the past 20 years.

📸 Throwback to a proud moment on the East Coast

East Coast stud breeder Colin Williams made history at the Gisborne Show by winning the Kahurau Cup for champion interbreed beef yearling — for the fifth year in a row.
The trophy was presented by former Opposition agriculture spokesman Ian McLean, pictured here with Colin and the winning yearling in the background.

A remarkable achievement — and his legacy of breeding excellence still carries on today.
