We breed black Angus cattle selected for conformation, fertility, and especially easy calving, and easy handling.
Our foundation sire Onga Angus Neptune N01 (top picture)- so named because of his habit of standing in water troughs when a youngster - is of Ranui and Whaiwhero blood-lines, and has already proven an outstanding prolific sire. His EBVs are misleading begause of his dam predating the current system and his first offspring being raised in severe drought! Proof that you have to look at the animal and what he consistently puts on the ground, not just theoretical numbers.
Last year we introduced top Canadian blood-lines to our herd, using imported semen from Hamilton Farms Alcatraz 60F - a half-share in him broke Canadian sale records in 2019, selling for $200,000! (bottom picture)
Our first Alcatraz sired bulls (POA) are outstanding so we will be using him again this year.
As we build up our pedigree herd we will continue to breed towards Angus of International quality, conformation and performance - yet still ensuring we retain our fertility and easy calving/easy handling breeding objectives.
Well used to people, our friendly bulls come when called, and most will eat out of your hand when they get to know you.
All Onga Angus are sold with registration papers.
