Five decades of breeding success was recently celebrated at Koanui’s 50th Anniversary Bull Sale, held on-farm in the Maraetotara Valley, near Havelock North. Sustainability & resilience are target traits The Terawhiti Station flock has been steadily improved with Wiltshire genetics to the point now where no docking, dagging or shearing is required.
