MEADOWSLEA ANGUS - Our Breeding Philosophy

Описание: Welcome to Meadowslea Angus

At Meadowslea Angus, based in the South Island high country of New Zealand we breed bulls for our neighbouring Hill and High Country conditions.

Meadowslea Angus Stud was established in 1985 with the purchase of Capital Stock Females from Turihaua Station Gisborne.

The herd today comprises over 300 cows run on tussock country west of Fairlie at an altitude of 1500 to 3000 feet. The cows are run entirely under commercial conditions with heifers calving as 2 year olds. Strong emphasis is placed on cow fertility and ease of calving, resulting in no cows or heifers needing assistance at calving for the last 7 years.

Selection criteria are for easy fleshing moderate framed cattle with plenty of meat and adequate fat cover, that will shift and perform in the South Island hill country. Sires used are all NZ bred, with real emphasis placed on structural soundness, mobility, longevity and fat cover. Over the last four years our Stud Cows have also grazed on our neighbours property "Berkley Downs" on their native tussock blocks. This has further tested their hardiness and constitution.
