Waigroup – for temperament

Temperament is highly heritable and we have selected
strongly for this important trait. Our cows have a “user
friendly” maternal instinct – our calves are safely
weighed and tagged at birth. Temperament also has
an effect on meat PH, colour and quality.
• Our cattle are quiet and will improve the temperament
and handling ability of their progeny.

Waigroup – for genetic predictability

Our breeding programme has been designed to
generate sires from within our herd, using a large
base of cows and limited infusions of outside genetics.
Under this system, geneticists have proven that a herd
of our size can maximise genetic progress for at least
120 years.
Due to their purity, Waigroup genetics will be a potent
and powerful force in your cow herd. We’ve bred the
cattle that the New Zealand farmer needs and that
perform to our high expectations. As a result, outside
bloodlines are introduced sparingly - we’re careful
not to jeopardise the unique genetic stamp we have
cemented in the Waigroup herd.
• Our bulls will perform to the levels we claim.
• Our bulls will rapidly and cumulatively lift the
production levels of your herd.
