Ian says the sales aren’t just transactions; they represent a partnership between the stud and its farmer clients, offering them a registered pedigree bull with a known history, bred specifically for their unique requirements. Beyond bulls, the stud also sells 80-100 in-calf two-year heifers annually, showcasing its success through participation in events like the Beef Expo. “These heifers find homes in stud and commercial herds, spanning from Northland to Southland, attesting to the broad appeal of Matapouri Polled Herefords’ breeding program,” says Ian. “All cows are mated to the bull to ensure the cattle will perform under varied conditions, with herd sires sourced from throughout New Zealand. The sires purchased over the years have been selected to enable genetic improvements to be made in the herd.” As the stud looks towards its 51st annual onfarm spring bull sale, the legacy of Matapouri Polled Herefords is not just about the past but a testament to its ability to adapt, innovate, and consistently deliver quality genetics to the New Zealand cattle industry.
