Cattle will be yarded in paddocks on the morning of the sale (see map opposite) for inspection from 10am. Inspections any time prior to the sale are welcomed • Morning Tea and Lunch will be available on sale day.
The last 12 months have been a whirlwind with a huge amount of positivity for red meat. Following the last June sale, winter went smoothly with great conditions for calving. We seemed to miss the storms and early norwests made for a lot less mud during tagging and weighing. These also contributed to the worst spring I’ve had here in 12 years as far as getting crops ready for this season, and the slow spring was a bit harder on cows flushing up into mating. Overall conception rates have been good in the stud cows and heifers, with plenty of AI calves due in August.
Since Christmas, the taps have been turned on - the rain hasn’t stopped. We are sitting in May at around 680ml for the year, in an area where our annual is usually 960. This has kept us busy making a lot of silage for winter and drought reserves, and to keep the Vytelle Grosafes fed with 4 Cohorts planned for this season. By sale day the Beef progeny test cattle from Kepler should be in the facility and we are looking forward to welcoming back the Hereford and Angus breeders following that.
Livi and the Te Mania farm team have done an amazing job in growing out the bulls and presenting them this year, and I’m very proud of the people we have on the ground in the business. With around 45 bulls in the catalogue having been used in the commercial cows, and to chase the AI program - since they’ve finished in the cows they have bounced back well and it’s a credit to the girls on farm and their diligence and process in reintroducing bulls to one another post mating without mishap.
Calf and lamb sales have been red hot and I’d like to congratulate everyone on their results. There was no shortage of very healthy sappy calves around and we were privileged to secure around 550 steer calves from our clients. Last year’s purchases are well ahead with an average weight of 514kg on the 20th of March, and as we compile more information with a few years of killing information behind us, now we look forward to catching up with the vendors and analysing how their animals
are performing. This takes a bit to crunch out obviously, with different arrival dates, weights and ages, as well as moves in schedule price but Jo Scott from Targeted Breeding is extremely good with statistics and will be helping to break it all down.
For the main event, the sale bulls… I am absolutely rapt with the job the new sires have done and the consistency of the bulls, (I reckon John will say “you can throw a blanket over them”).
The use of Matesel in our joinings is really evening up our EBVs and we are producing more males and females that are in line with our breeding objectives. Where we are anticipating value in the future, will be extracted from by our commercial clients.
The transfer conditions we introduced last year have been a great success with $$$$ of rebates back to our commercial clients. As part of our ongoing commitment to adding value to our clients, we will not be changing our transfer rules this year. For the stud breeders - if a bull catches your eye and you’d like to have a dabble with some straws, don’t be afraid to reach out or fill in the form like last season. There is also semen available from Te Mania 22T463 who has been used in studs and has calves registered now with both Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand. By all accounts they look the part and his numbers are coming through well.
With the current global conditions around fuel and travel costs, as well as flights from the regions being canceled more regularly, we anticipate some more uptake from BIDR. If anyone needs photos or videos while you are researching your next genetic investment please reach out to Livi or myself.
I very much look forward to seeing you all at the sale,
Will Wilding
After many years of selling bulls together, The Sisters aren’t in our 2026 Te Mania catalogue. Lindsay and Mavis Haugh purchased their first Te Mania bull from us back in 1991, and it’s been a hell of a partnership ever since.
Lindsay’s always been ahead of the curve, being an early adopter of AI, progressive with genetics, and smart enough to use the Five Star feedlot data to actually drive his breeding decisions forward. The Sisters herd reflects that thinking. They’re practical cattle with strong maternal values, good growth, and carcass performance that stacks up in the real world.
They’re moving to selling their yearling bulls online via Bidr this October, which makes sense for their operation. Different direction, but the quality will still be there.
We’ve valued the Haugh family’s involvement in our sale over the decades. They’ve contributed quality genetics, brought good buyers through the door, and been straight-up honest people to work alongside.
Thanks for the years of support, and best of luck with the yearling sale Hamish.
From the team at Te Mania Angus
Following on from last year, we are still on the lookout for trading stock and the opportunity to build ongoing relationships. This year we have secured 6,300 merino lambs to take through into spring, but we are still after 2 unit loads of merino or x-bred wether lambs.
This year, we purchased 540 Angus steer calves, and our first port of call is to buy them from our valued clients to ensure we’re utilising our own genetics. We will also finish 800 R2 Angus steers, and since the season has been good, tied with their genetics, we’ve got them away early and will need more.
We are in touch with many of you already, but if you are in the market to sell, please get in touch with John.

The first 12 months with Cheddar Valley have gone very quickly, as we’ve learned the farms strengths and weaknesses. We have identified opportunities and a large one is producing more bulls. As the herd at Cheddar grows with surplus stud heifers from Te Mania, and later conceiving calves heading that way, we have jumped on the opportunity to use sexed male semen across these cows. We are doing one round of fixed time AI to condense calving so the team there don’t need to spend 6 weeks tagging and weighing on the hill, and then a hereford bull is chasing them, so it’s clear when stud calving is finished.
The black with white face is also a very promising commercial proposition and we will have heifers available in a few years that are genuine capital stock (our replacements are coming from the stud) and I don’t believe you’ll find any other black with white face heifers that have a stud dam on the female side.
The yearling bulls at Cheddar worked hard and we had a very good conception in the first 30 days. There are learnings from our first mating there, particularly around bulls working on the river country and losing footing on the large rocks. We are excited for this coming calving, mating with 800 Halter collars going on in calf cows and being able to mob them up for the bulls and create safer mating zones.
The steer calves weaned at 256kg average so they are well set up for the next 12 months at One Tree Hill, and the heifer calves are ticking along at Cheddar Valley.
Having such a heavy cattle system has been great with our flexibility, taking advantage of the quality autumn with trade lambs. We have continued with predominantly merinos, last year’s wool clip was a great success in spite of last season’s wet autumn and this year’s intake of lambs are really blossoming. To date, compared to last season, we have extended our drench interval by close to 4 weeks and this has been put down to the great clean up job the cattle are doing from the summer.
In May this year we will be saying goodbye to Jeremy, Hayley and Stormy Dillon as they take on a wonderful opportunity in Fairlie at Sugar Loaf on the family farm. They will be missed throughout the community but I look forward to seeing Jeremy in the stands bidding up large on bulls that will keep producing the thumping calves Sugar Loaf is known for. Thank you Jerry and Hayley for all the hard work, and also making the transition over to Rikki and Jenna smooth. With the sadness of the Dillons leaving we are very excited to share that Rikki Brown and his partner Jenna Burke will be taking on the reins and managing One Tree Hill. Rikki joined our team 4 years ago and what he’s achieved and learnt in such a short time is nothing less than impressive. Jenna has a background of 17 years in the dairy industry, as well as great knowledge around grazing management, animal health and low stress handling, combined with a phenomenal work ethic. We are very pleased to have such a dynamic duo come up within the team.
Angus that bear the originate from a programme committed to producing Angus cattle that will advance the New Zealand beef industry.
The objective of the Te Mania programme is to ensure that commercial clients using our genetics are on a continuous improvement programme within their own herd, and that they are kept at the forefront of the New Zealand beef industry, with performance that rivals the best in the world.
Te Mania’s goal is to offer genetics that will give our clients more live calves, that will wean heavier, grow faster and have exceptional carcase quality. Producing sound, efficient and productive females must be a given in a profitable system.
All our cattle are run and evaluated in large contemporary groups. We ensure all cattle get equal opportunity and are measured against each other to give objective comparisons for the economically important traits of calving ease, growth, fertility and carcase merit.
We have adopted a selection of tools and technology to utilise within the farming system and we use a combination of leading-edge performance yearlings and highly accurate, specially selected semen sires from around the globe to optimise the genetic gain of our herd.
Over 90 years of history, experience and innovation. Four generations of the Wilding family have farmed one of New Zealand’s largest, leading Angus studs.
Dating back to when Frank Armstrong of Akitio in Southern Hawkes Bay, gave his daughter and her husband Edwin Wilding, four top Angus cows and a bull (Tiniber Bay of Akitio) on her wedding day, the foundations of the Te Mania herd were laid.
Te Mania pioneered performance recording of beef cattle in New Zealand and has always led the way in the evaluation and adoption of new methods and technologies. Te Mania was the first Angus herd in New Zealand to record on BREEDPLAN, was one of the first to begin carcase evaluation and then adopt the HD50k technology.
During the first 20 months, Te Mania bulls are subjected to rigours, tests, stresses, and inspections. They have developed their own individual set of EBVs and have had the opportunity to stand out from the mob. Of the 240+ bulls born, 130 have made it into the catalogue for the 2026 sale.
At Birth
• All calves are tagged, weighed and given a calving ease figure.
• Birth weights, calving ease figures, the cows mating details, birth date and the calf’s parentage are sent to Breedplan to calculate EBVs for Gestation Length, Calving Ease and Birth Weight.
• These EBVs give us crucial information for selecting suitable bulls for heifer mating and also for selecting bulls for our Yearling Bull Sale.
At Weaning
• Calves are weaned in February.
• Calves are weighed, drenched and given their first vaccination for BVD, Lepto and 10 in 1 booster is given six weeks later.
• Weaning weights are sent to Breedplan for 200 day weight EBVs
Weaning to 400 Days
• Young bulls are run in groups of around 120, drenched when worm counts indicate the necessity, branded and managed to show their potential under the pressure of a large group situation.
At 400 Days
• Bulls are weighed, scanned for rib and rump fat, eye muscle area and intramuscular fat. A measurement of scrotal circumference is also taken. This data is sent to Breedplan to calculate the Carcase and Scrotal EBVs.
• Young bulls suitable for heifer mating are selected for our Spring Yearling Bull Sale at this stage.
• In October we go through all the yearlings again to find the bulls we will use as yearlings.
At 600 Days
• The bulls are weighed. 600 day weights are sent to Breedplan and updated EBVs are calculated for inclusion in the catalogue.
In April
• Bulls undergo a close examination for feet, structure and temperament.
• Xcell Breeding Services semen tests all bulls and checks for penile and testicle defects.
• Bulls that pass this rigorous process are then selected to be catalogued for the sale and the large groups are split into groups of around 20-30 for the sale mobs.
Bulls are a large investment and their management has a major effect on herd fertility. A little time and attention to ensure they are fit, free from injury or infection and are actively working will pay dividends. Manage him well and he will repay you many times over.
Arrival
• On arrival check your bull for injuries or lameness. If he is injured or lame have him inspected by a vet and call Will Wilding immediately.
• When your bull arrives he will be hungry, thirsty and stressed. Put him in a paddock with plenty of feed and a steer or an older cow for company. Feeding some hay will settle him down and start his rumen working again.
• If you have to put him with older bulls ensure he has plenty of space and watch that he doesn’t get bullied excessively.
Through to Mating
• Your young bull is still growing. Ensure he is well fed so he can reach his full potential but do not get him over fat.
• Keep all bulls in condition score 3.0 to 3.5. Too much fat around the testicles can impair fertility and over conditioned bulls lack fitness and mobility.
During Mating
• A two year bull should be capable of mating 40 cows over 60 days. An older bull a few more and a yearling between 25 and 30.
• Ensure cows are cycling before the bull goes out. They will need to be on a rising plane of nutrition to commence cycling and have adequate feed during mating to achieve good conception rates.
• If single sire mating change the bull after the first cycle.
• It is vitally important to regularly observe the bull during mating. Make sure he is working properly and no injuries or infections have occurred. Watch for foot abscesses or penile infections. These can be cleared up quickly if treated immediately.
Problems to Watch for during Mating
• Swelling of the penis or testicles. Infections can be caused by something as simple as a thistle or a scratch.
• Lameness or swollen joints. Watch for stiffness in the hips.
• Continuous mounting without serving.
• Large numbers of cows cycling after the first 21 days. A large percentage should be mated in the first cycle.
• Bulls away on their own – possibly injured or sick. If you see any of these problems replace the bull immediately. Semen quality can be affected for up to six weeks post injury or infection.
Don’t skimp on regular checks of bulls during mating. It gives peace of mind for in-calf cow rates.
Post Mating
• Bulls are likely to be down in condition. Drench them and put them on enough feed to bring them back up to condition score 3.0 to 3.5.
• Adequate feed, shade, water and space will allow them to settle quickly and help to reduce fighting.

All Te Mania bulls have undergone rigorous assessments for structural soundness and fertility and those offered for sale are fertile and structurally sound to the best or our knowledge. If a bull becomes infertile or breaks down due to reasons other than injury or misadventure Te Mania will:
• Replace the bull with a satisfactory substitute if available or;
• Issue you with a credit equal to the purchase price minus the salvage value. This credit must be used at the next Te Mania bull sale
The guarantee covers the purchase value of the bull without interest, cost or damages. The guarantee shall apply providing the bull’s incapacity is not caused by injury or disease contracted since leaving Te Mania. It is calculated on the basis that the guarantee is reduced by one third of the purchase price for each year of standard service from the sale date. A veterinary certificate must be supplied by the purchaser upon request.
If any bull that is purchased does not possess a reasonably fertility, although not totally infertile, any dispute that arises shall be settled by an arbitrator appointed by the auctioneers. The dispute must be lodged within 12 calendar months from the date of sale.
Should your bull be injured during transit notify Te Mania immediately.
The Te Mania herd is assessed annually for general health, udder, feet and temperament defects and all animals not meeting our high standard are culled or downgraded to a recipient.
All Te Mania bulls are examined by a veterinarian prior to sale day. This examination includes palpation of the sexual anatomy and measurement of the scrotal circumference.
All bulls have also been blood tested negative for BVD and have been semen tested.
All bulls are vaccinated prior to sale day so they are protected in the event they come in contact with the BVD virus after leaving Te Mania. This provides the highest level of protection possible.
The bulls are all given health treatments including 10 in 1 vaccination, a drench and lice pour on.
Te Mania is a Brucellosis free and TB accredited herd with a C10 status.
Xcell Breeding Services semen evaluation and fertility testing is a practical method used worldwide to eliminate bulls with less than satisfactory breeding potential and is part of our procedure to demonstrate normal reproductive ability. Xcell Breeding Services uses this safe and reliable method to assist the breeder in their desire to produce quality animals.
The evaluation consists of:
Palpation and examination of the testicles, the testis should be firm, equal in size with no palpable abnormality and have scrotal diameter in keeping with industry standards.
The penis and sheath are examined for any apparent abnormality e.g. sores, lacerations, abscesses, hair rings, warts, cork screw, penile frenulum, scar tissue, signs of damage. During electro stimulation the penis must extend from the sheath, straight in the midline of the bull.
Microscopic evaluation of a semen sample for Motility (% of live sperm within the sample) and morphology (% of normal vs. abnormal sperm within the sample).
All the above information is considered and, where there is any departure from normal the bull is either failed outright or re-evaluated at a later date.

The introduction of the Mature Body Condition EBV, used exclusively by Angus Australia (AngusPRO) breeders here in New Zealand, represents one of the most significant advancements in Angus genetic evaluation in recent years. This powerful tool allows producers to select for cows that will have improved body condition scores at weaning, directly impacting profitability and herd sustainability.
It’s important to note that the Mature Body Condition EBV provided by Angus Australia is genomically enhanced and has a very strong reference population, bolstered by the Angus Sire Benchmarking Program. Within the Angus Australia database, there are over 68,800 animals that have a phenotypic score for body condition. The greater the reference population, the greater the accuracy.
The Mature Body Condition EBV predicts the genetic tendency for a bull’s daughters to maintain body condition score throughout lactation to weaning. This trait reflects the cow’s inherent ability to partition nutrients efficiently between maintenance, lactation, and reproduction – essentially measuring metabolic efficiency at the cow level.
• Lower overall production costs per calf weaned UNLOCKING GENETIC POTENTIAL FOR
Cows with higher Mature Body Condition EBVs possess the genetic potential to maintain adequate flesh while meeting the energy demands of milk production and reproduction. This genetic advantage typically translates into:
• Improved rebreeding rates and shorter calving intervals
• Greater resilience during drought or poor pasture conditions
• Enhanced longevity and lifetime productivity
Research consistently shows that cows maintaining body condition score 5 or above (Beef & Lamb NZ system) have significantly higher conception rates. Cows with genetic potential for maintaining condition are more likely to:
• Cycle earlier post-calving
• Show stronger estrus behaviour
• Maintain pregnancies successfully
• Produce more calves over their lifetime
Mature Body Condition is strongly positively correlated with Mature Cow Weight (0.87). So, if farmers are selecting for higher MBC, they’re also increasing cow weight – which isn’t always a desired outcome.
The economic value of improved body condition maintenance is substantial. Studies indicate that cows with superior body condition genetics can:
• Increase weaning rates
• Extend productive life
• Improve overall herd profitability
These improvements compound over time, making the Mature Body Condition EBV one of the most economically important traits for commercial operations.
Mature Body Condition EBVs offer an unprecedented opportunity to improve cow efficiency and profitability. By selecting bulls with positive values for this trait, you’re investing in cow families that will thrive in your environment while reducing production costs and improving reproductive performance. This genetic tool represents a pathway to more sustainable, profitable beef production.
On a 215-hectare (effective) Hawke’s Bay block in the North Island of New Zealand, a commercial beef producer is running his operation with the discipline of a stud. The results are making people sit up and take notice.
Wayne Breeze is not a man who does things by halves, and the banker, turned farmer, is determined to squeeze every drop of juice out of his operation. At Hauiti Farm in Poukawa, Hawke’s Bay, he has built a beef finishing system that most commercial operators would consider the domain of elite stud breeders.
Everything is weighed at birth. Genetics are matched with the precision of a stud programme. Kill sheet data flows back up the supply chain to inform the next generation of sire selections. And every steer on the place is targeted to finish prime on grass, at 340 to 350 kilograms carcase weight, in under 18 months.
The objective, as Wayne states it plainly, is predictability. Predictability in the animal, predictability in the feed, and predictability in the commercial outcome. It is a word he returns to throughout our conversation, and it is the thread that connects every decision made on the farm.
“Increased beef per hectare and the shorter you can finish them, the better,” says Wayne.
“Predictability relates to both the animals, via genetics, and the feed produced so that we can grow them out.”
Hauiti Farm runs as a closed commercial system in close association with Te Mania Angus (NZ), one of New Zealand’s leading Angus studs. The relationship began with bull purchases, but Wayne quickly realised that putting elite genetics over an unknown cow base was limiting the programme’s potential.
“Even if you pick great bulls with good genotype, if you don’t know what they’re covering, I don’t know how you can expect good results.”
The issue, as Wayne understood it, partly came down to epigenetics. The cow’s influence over her progeny extends well beyond the DNA she passes on. Nutrition, environment, and management experienced by the dam directly modify gene expression in her offspring, with effects that can carry across generations. Wayne is clear on what this means in practical terms: the female is the most important part of the equation, accounting for approximately 75 percent of the epigenetic influence on the calf.
So once he decided he needed to sort out his cow herd, Wayne worked with Will Wilding at Te Mania and genetic advisors Targeted Breeding, led by Jo Scott, to replace his original mixed-background cow herd with surplus Te Mania females. The replacements were not culls. Wayne and Will selected the cows together, with a clear shared objective. He wanted fast finishers.
“Why shouldn’t we be able to utilise the same genetic knowledge and technology that the studs are using? It’s available.”
The cow herd was replaced two years ago in 2024. Targeted Breeding now applies the same sirematching principles to Hauiti’s cows that they would use in a stud environment, with the difference being that the progeny are destined for commercial beef production rather than the bull sale ring. Hauiti currently runs 171 females to the bull each year, including yearling heifers.
Sire selection draws on full genotype data with high accuracy figures. MateSel sire selection technology is used to ensure the right bulls go over the right females, optimising the desired outcome at an individual pairing level rather than applying a blanket bull-to-mob approach. Wayne’s herd will also be registered with Angus Australia as an APR herd in the coming months, bringing further structure and traceability to the programme.
The follow-up bulls are all Te Mania bulls, and Will is assisting to ensure the right sires are selected for both the females at Hauiti and the desired finishing outcome.
Artificial insemination is part of the programme, though Wayne is candid about the variable results they have experienced so far. The first AI run on the cow herd returned an 88 percent conception rate, a result he was told at the time was unusually strong. More recently, the heifer mob returned just 43 percent, which was obviously disappointing.
The outcome was compounded by a follow-up bull being injured, which left a proportion of the heifers dry. It was a reminder that even the most carefully designed genetic programme carries biological and logistical variables that do not always cooperate.
Wayne notes that the skill of the technician applying the AI semen carries a significant influence on conception outcomes. Human execution remains a
critical link in the chain.
The Finishing Target: One Winter, Prime Grade
The commercial logic of the Hauiti system centres on a single, powerful metric: finishing steers in one winter rather than two. Wayne has done the arithmetic carefully.
“If you do the numbers, having your finishing stock do only one winter increases the MA carrying capacity by 25 to 30 percent, which then increases your gross turnover by 25 to 30 percent.”
Calves born in August and September are targeted to hit 340 to 350 kilograms carcase weight by January/ February of the following year, with the balance finishing by late March. That puts the steers through a single winter before processing, cutting out a full year of feed conversion at a less efficient stage of growth, freeing up pasture for additional stock, and reducing the amount of winter cropping required.
The initial programme was designed to finish steers at 17 to 18 months. In practice, Wayne found he needed to pull the first draft earlier, at around 15 to 16 months, to prevent the faster growing animals from exceeding the premium weight grade window. It is a good problem to have.
Average daily liveweight gain from birth to weaning sits between 1.06 and 1.12 kilograms per day. From there, the target is to hold above one kilogram per day through to the finishing phase, where the steers are recording gains of 1.4 to 1.5 kilograms per day.
The processing yield is also worth noting, achieving 53.74% average in the February 2025 killed steers, and increasing to 54.9% average in the February 2026 killed steers. Wayne finds the yield increases by 2-3% as they come into autumn each year.
All stock is processed through Silver Fern Farms at Whakatu. The progeny consistently grade into Silver Fern Farms’ EQ specification, driven by intramuscular fat levels that Wayne attributes to the genetic programme and the feeding system working together. He is looking to push IMF performance further still, positioning the herd ahead of any premium market opportunities that may develop.
“New Zealand currently has a bulk commodity market for buying cattle for processing,” he says.
“We produce highly certified beef that is overqualified for the prices being paid. That has to be fixed.”
He sees it as a ‘chicken and egg’ situation: the premium market requires a product to attract consumers, but processors will not pay premium prices until consumers are already paying them. His response is to be ready when the equation shifts.
A central belief in Wayne’s system is that capital stock must never be allowed to take a backward step in body condition. His cows are fed well throughout the year, without compromise. The reasoning is grounded in both Beef and Lamb New Zealand research and epigenetic science.
“Putting a kilo onto a cow requires six to eight times more feed than is required to put a kilo on a calf. We just don’t let the girls get hungry, which also means they’re even better mothers.”
Maintaining cow condition means the breeding females are not competing with the finishing progeny for feed. It also means calves are not compromised during gestation, allowing intramuscular fat development to proceed without interruption in utero. Wayne is clear that calves born from well-conditioned, well-fed cows
go on to finish faster and more consistently than those that start life at a nutritional deficit.
Calves do stall at weaning in terms of growth rate, but they do not go backwards. That baseline is protected by the cow management approach, and it sets the platform for the daily gain targets through the finishing phase.
Cow size is also managed deliberately. The herd averages 612 kilograms liveweight, and Wayne has no interest in running heavier cows. A larger-framed cow consumes more feed to maintain condition without a proportionate return in productivity. In a system built around feed conversion efficiency, every kilogram of cow weight carries a higher ongoing feed cost.
The feed system underpinning Hauiti’s performance is grass-based and deliberately low in purchased inputs. Wayne runs high pasture covers and pays close attention to what is happening beneath the sward surface. Visual soil assessments are a regular practice on the farm.
“We dig a lot of holes,” he laughs.
Nitrogen application is kept to a minimum. Wayne relies on clover to do the nitrogen fixation work, using artificial nitrogen down the shoot when re-grassing. The rationale is straightforward: a healthy soil biology supporting a strong clover content delivers the same result at a fraction of the cost, without disrupting the soil ecology that underpins long-term pasture performance.
After each grazing rotation, harrows are run through the paddocks. The practice serves two functions. It spreads cattle dung across the pasture as a nutrient source, and it eliminates the bare patches that form where a dung pat sits, which would otherwise become thistle strike points months later. On an intensive hill country block, the flow-on benefit to pasture quality over successive seasons is meaningful.
The bottom of the property is a river flat carrying willows, which provide the equivalent of bales of summer feed for the finishing steers without any cultivation or supplementary feed cost.
Fencing infrastructure is managed with the same cost-conscious approach. Wayne sources ex-vineyard grape posts at one dollar each. These tanalised posts cannot be landfilled or burned, making them essentially worthless to the vineyard sector. With Hawke’s Bay’s wine industry making a shift toward steel posts in the coming years, Wayne expects a significant and ongoing supply of low-cost fencing material. Not running any sheep means a simple post and two wire fence for block delineation within larger paddocks meets his requirements, keeping infrastructure costs well below those of a traditional sheep and beef block.
Wayne describes Hauiti Farm as a commercial control operation relative to Te Mania NZ’s stud operation. Kill sheets go back to Te Mania after each processing run, feeding carcase data into the stud’s own records. Te Mania contributes monitoring data from the dam side, and that information flows back through the system. The relationship is collaborative and data-driven in both directions.
Te Mania’s Vytelle system supports feed intake and efficiency monitoring on the stud side, building a body of information that Wayne can draw on without needing to replicate the infrastructure himself. He is direct about New Zealand’s position in this space: the country is not pioneering the research, but working to validate whether findings from other systems are relevant to local pastoral conditions.
On methane, the early data from fast-growing cattle is pointing in an interesting direction.
“Funnily enough, fast-growing cattle produce less methane. That’s what the raw data is saying.”
His interpretation, while noting that his third form science may not make him an expert, is practical.
“Feed energy either converts to growth, is belched as methane, or passes out the backend.”
A more efficient converter simply has less to lose. From an emissions standpoint, cattle that finish on grass in 15 to 16 months surely represent one of the lowestfootprint beef production systems in the world. This is surely a question that must be asked…
He does not overlook the genetic diversity question. Wayne holds concerns about the concentration of genetics across the New Zealand dairy industry, and applies the same thinking to his own programme: individual bulls, matched precisely to individual females through tools such as MateSel, rather than broad genetic concentration across a herd.
The Hauiti herd is young. With the herd of predominantly heifers purchased only two years ago, the age structure is weighted toward the younger end of the scale. The target cow exit policy is to sell cows at five years of age, in calf, with a fully documented genetic history and a predictable expected finishing outcome for the calf on board.
“We want to start exporting [domestically] that predictability off farm, at scale, every year.”
In round numbers, Wayne expects to scale up further and be moving 80 to 100 females annually. The closed herd is currently retaining most heifers as replacements, building toward a point where the scale of the programme justifies regular commercial sales of foundation females.
Embryo transfer was considered and set aside. Wayne’s concern was the epigenetic influence of the recipient dam, which would complicate the very consistency he is trying to build. Starting with actual genetic mothers kept the programme clean and the data interpretable.
At 240 hectares, Hauiti Farm is not a large operation by Hawke’s Bay standards. But the system Wayne has built on it, by combining elite genetics, disciplined pasture management, low-input infrastructure, and a genuine commitment to data, is producing results that scale well beyond what most would consider achievable on a commercial finishing block.
The numbers back it up. One winter to premium grade and a kill sheet that keeps improving. Predictability, as Wayne Breeze would say, is the point.
An excellent example of Te Mania’s aim to provide their valued commercial clients access to the best bulls from their breeding programme, with the opportunity to profit share in semen sales.
Te Mania 22463 was part of a group that was picked on, subsequently selling at lot 138 in the 2024 sale for $12,500 to the Murray family at Matariki Herefords, where he had two seasons on steep hill country.
This bull is a very moderate frame bull, extremely quiet, with good shoulder placement, body width and overall structural soundness.
His unique data set has seen 22463 accepted into both B+LNZ dairy beef and beef progeny trials.
Top 10% calving ease, gestation length, 200, 400, and 600 day growth
Top 40% birth weight
Top 25% EMA
Top 1% carcase weight at 104
His ability to deliver high growth and carcass weight safely, while only a mid-frame bull, sets 22463 apart from other bulls.
His pedigree boasts some of Te Mania’s best cow families. 13111 is the star of the donor group with multiple sons sold to stud, and up to $30k into commercial herds.
Thomas Up River families have been a feature at Te Mania for many years, and feature close up in the maternal pedigree.
Semen is available for stud, commercial and dairy herds, with sexed semen available as well.

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations.
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).
An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).
EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.
TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).
For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20
kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals recorded with Angus Australia. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:
• the breed average EBV
• the percentile bands table
The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes.
For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.
An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV. The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.
EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.
EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.

The AngusPRO index ($PRO) estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd based in New Zealand that targets the production of grass finished steers for the AngusPure programme.
Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore female traits are of importance.
Steers are assumed marketed at approximately 530 kg live weight (290 kg carcase weight with 10 mm P8 fat depth) at 20 months of age, with a significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.
• New Zealand production system.
• Self Replacing herd.
• Daughters are retained for breedeing.
• Steer progeny are finished on pasture for the AngusPure programme.
• Steer progeny slaughtered at carcase weight of 290kg at 20 months of age.
• Significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.
Figure 1. shows the traits that are considered in the PRO index, and how much they contribute to the overall balance of the selection index. The larger the segment, the greater the impact on the selection index.
Figure 2 shows the selection advantage if animals are selected using the $PRO index.
The selection advantage is calculated by ranking well used sires within the Angus breed on the $PRO index, and comparing the average EBVs of the sires in the highest 10% with the average EBVs of all sires from which they were selected. For example, the sires ranked in the highest 10% based on the $PRO index had 9 kg higher 400 Day Weight EBVs and 1.2 kg lower Birth Weight EBVs than the average EBVs of the sires from which they were selected.
The selection advantage is indicative of the long term direction and relativity of response that will occur in individual traits if selection is based on the $PRO index. The actual response that is observed will vary depending on the features of the individual breeding program.

Here at Te Mania our breeding program is focused on producing very sound, efficient cattle with plenty of balance across multiple traits to enable our clients to optimise value.
This balance in all the key economic traits is evident in our 2026 ‘sales team’. As you will see below the average EBVs of the Te Mania sale bulls are well positioned in relation to the Angus Australia breed average in most traits.
Use this table as a guide to compare individual animals with the current genetic level of the breed
Only part of the variation that we observe among animals is due to genetic differences. The majority of the variation is generally due to non-genetic factors such as differences in environment and nutrition. The degree to which genetic differences influence performance varies from trait to trait. This is explained by differences in the “heritability” of the traits. Growth and carcase traits tend to have moderate to high heritabilities (i.e. 20 to 60%), whilst maternal traits have low heritabilities (10% or lower). Angus TACE takes into account the different degrees of heritability of various traits, and the known genetic relationships between the traits.
Angus bulls sold within New Zealand are registered in two different databases — Angus Australia (AngusPRO animals) and Angus New Zealand. The TACE percentiles in sale catalogues are only relevant to the population they are compared against, meaning you can compare one AngusPRO animal against another, but these percentiles can’t be compared across different breed societies i.e. animals registered with Angus NZ.
It is however important to note that the TACE EBVs themselves are comparable. For most EBV traits, the direct EBV is comparable to establish expected progeny performance differences, however, where the animal sits in reference to the rest of that population (its ranking) can be substantially different across the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand societies.
Let’s look at the breed average for IMF Angus Australia’s 50th percentile is +2.6, whereas Angus NZ’s 50th percentile is +1.1 (March TACE analysis). If you’re selecting bulls based on percentiles, please ensure you are aware of the population they’re compared with, or check the actual EBV figures carefully.
The animals listed within this catalogue including its pedigree, are displaying a Parent Verification Suffix which indicates the DNA parent verification status that has been conducted on the animal. The Parent Verification Suffixes that will appear at the end of each animal’s name. The suffix displayed at the end of each animal’s name indicates the DNA parentage verification that has been conducted by Angus Australia.
PV : both parents have been verified by DNA.
SV : the sire has been verified by DNA.
DV : the dam has been verified by DNA.
# : DNA verification has not been conducted.
E : DNA verification has identified that the sire and/or dam may possibly be incorrect, but this cannot be confirmed conclusively.
With Te Mania Australia already present on the Angus Australia database, we have had to use the Prefix FTM until we work out a suitable arrangement to avoid confusion between the two herds. We have named all our animals from 2020 on as TMNZ, so if you do a search with “name contains TMNZ” or the prefix FTM you will be able to find our animals.
This QR code will take you to our catalogue in angus.tech, where you can search and draft animals on your set criteria.
Every effort will be taken by the Vendors, PGG Wrightson, their staff and assistants, both on the sale day as well as any visits of inspection to ensure the safety of intending buyers and visitors. We wish however to advise that while this sale is run under normal management conditions, certain dangers exist in relation to livestock and their environment. Visitors should take care to ensure their personal safety.

All bulls offered through the Te Mania have been screened for persistent infection (PI) for the bovine viral diarrhoea virus.
The screening provides Te Mania bull buyers the utmost confidence that their new seedstock are not “carriers” of the BVD virus.
For cattleman, the primary concern of spreading the BVD virus is through PI cattle, with transiently (or temporarily) infected cattle considered a less important source of the disease.
PI animals are very efficient transmitters of the virus. They usually have a very high and virulent amount of the virus circulating in their blood and other fluids and they shed the BVD virus continually.
A PI calf is “created” during pregnancy when the BVD virus from an infected dam’s bloodstream crosses the placental wall to her foetus during the first part of gestation. This is the ONLY WAY a PI animal is created.
Foetal infection can lead to foetal death, the birth of a PI calf, or the birth of a normal calf.
It’s important to note that a calf born BVD-PI will always be a PI animal. Id a calf is not a PI at birth it can never become a PI.
While uncommon, PI calves can grow to adult age without any outward signs of the BVD infection.
The virus is perpetuated when these PI animals – bulls or heifers – survive past yearling age and enter the breeding herd. PI heifers or cows that conceive will always produce a PI calf. A PI bull has the dangerous potential to effectively and efficiently spread the BVD virus to all cattle he comes into contact with.
Immunising cattle herds with the appropriate vaccines to protect against transient infection should be the first consideration in a herd biosecurity program. But, given the right conditions, the tremendous amount of virus secreted by a PI calf can overwhelm a level of immunity provided by vaccination to its herd mates.
The cost of at least one PI animal in a commercial beef breeding herds has been reported to range from $14$24 per cow per year in reduced reproductive efficiency alone. Research also indicates the probability of initial treatment of respiratory disease is 43% greater in cattle exposed to BVD-PI cattle in the same mob or feedlot pen.
Therefore the cost of the BVD virus is too great to leave to chance
That’s why we recommend all cattle entering your herd – including your new bulls must be screened for the BVD virus before they enter your operation.
Here are some other key points:
• All open heifers purchased should be screened for BVD-PI status well in advance of breeding
• Purchased heifers or cows with an unknown BVD-PI status should be kept separate from the resident herd until their PI status can be confirmed by first screening their calves
• Screen all new crop calves in advance of breeding to avoid exposure of a pregnant cow by a PI calf
• Cows do not need to be PI tested unless they have a PI calf
• If an animal tests negative for the BVD-PI status there3 is not need to ever retest that animal
• PI animals should be isolated from the herd and culled immediately
• PI surveillance should include sampling and testing of as many aborted foetus’, stillborns and preweaning deaths as possible
These are some guidelines to help minimise the effect BVD can have on the health of your cow herd and the financial implications that this serious virus can create.
Information on undesirable genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH) and Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplication (DD)
All breeds of cattle have undesirable genetic conditions. Fortunately with today’s DNA technologies those in Angus cattle can be managed.
What are they?
(AM) Arthrogryposis means ‘curved or hooked joints’. Multiplex indicates there are multiple abnormalities associated with the condition. Animals with the Neuropathic (NH) condition have a large head. Both AM and NH affected calves are born dead. Calves affected by Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) are born alive and can reproduce. Muscle contractures restrict the movement of joints, particularly in the hind legs. Abnormal muscle contractures decrease dramatically as the calf ages but muscle development always remains poor. Developmental Duplication (DD) is also referred to as polymelia. Many affected animals are absorbed in utero or aborted early in gestation. Those that survive to birth typically have additional limbs (usually extra front legs) originating from the neck or shoulder region. The number of reported cases of AM, NH, CA and DD calves is very low and there is certainly no need to panic.
How are the conditions inherited?
Both the sire and the dam need to be a carrier (carry one copy of the gene each) to have progeny that have two copies of the recessive gene. Only a few pedigrees are carriers of the recessive gene.
Two copies of the undesirable gene need to be present before the condition is seen; in which case you may get an abnormal or dead calf. Animals with one copy of the undesirable gene (and one copy of the normal gene) appear normal and are known as “carriers”. Carriers, will on average, pass the undesirable gene onto a random half (50%) of their progeny. When a carrier bull is mated to a carrier cow there will be a 25% chance that the progeny produced will have two normal genes. There will be a 50% chance that the mating will produce a carrier and there will be a 25% chance that the progeny have two copies of the undesirable gene and the calf will be abnormal. For the condition to be expressed the undesirable gene needs to be present on both sides of the pedigree and both the sire and the dam need to be a carrier.
A DNA-based test has been developed which determines whether an animal is a carrier or free of the AM, NH or CA gene. After DNA testing animals are classified in these categories: AMF, NHF, CAF or DDF – Tested free of the undesirable gene AMC, NHC, CAC or DDC – Tested as carriers of the undesirable gene
NZ Angus uses sophisticated software to calculate the probability of all untested animals on their database to be a carrier and this is reported as a percentage susceptible. The categories are: AMS%, NHS%, CAS% or DDS% - Suspected carrier. % = level of suspicion
Animals free of the defect by pedigree and are untested are given the following categories: AMFU, NHFU, CAFU or DDFU – Free by pedigree, untested
What genetic statuses are acceptable to you will depend on the genetics of your cow herd
You need to take into consideration the bulls you have used previously, whether you have a straight breeding or cross-breeding enterprise and whether you will retain female progeny for breeding.
Te Mania are being proactive and transparent in managing these genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. Now all sires used are clear of these defects. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from these undesirable genetic conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background.

AngusPure NZ has teamed up with 91 Angus studs who share in our vision - to focus on the end consumer. This stud is proud to be named as one of them, and by using the finest genetics and implementing best management practice they can help you produce more premium quality Angus beef.
Only our AngusPure Partner studs display these devices in their sale catalogues. They indicate bulls endorsed by AngusPure NZ.
AngusPure NZ continues to endorse bulls for sale that are either at or above +$131 for the AngusPure index (API) and at or above +$118 for the AngusPRO index ($PRO). These indexes give commercial farmers confidence that by using these selection tools, bulls are most likely to leave progeny with superior carcase quality. At the same time, they achieve desirable outcomes for self-replacing herds, as the AngusPure & AngusPRO indexes still reward cattle with strong maternal attributes like calving ease, scrotal and growth, along with carcase weight.
To qualify, bulls will be => +$131 for AngusPure index OR => +$118 for AngusPRO index
In addition to the ‘A’, and to assist bull buyers who wish to select for more marbling AngusPure is rewarding those animals that are either at or above +$147 for the AngusPure Index (API) and at or above +$132 for the AngusPRO Index ($PRO). In addition to this, they must have an IMF EBV (for marbling) equal to or greater than +2.6. These bulls will be awarded an ‘A+’ endorsement. Marbling is one of the very highest eating quality attributes and is necessary in order to meet some of the highest premium requirements for the export program, AngusPure Special Reserve.
To qualify, bulls will be => +$147 for AngusPure index OR => +$132 for AngusPRO index, and in addition all bulls must be => +2.6 for IMF EBV AngusPure NZ recognises the need to lift the amount of marbling in our New Zealand cow genetics, in order to fill the requirements of consumers going forward. Marbling has two critical components; genetics and feeding. Feeding on a rising plane of nutrition is vital but without the right genetics, these attributes will not be able to express themselves.

In line with our commitment to provide the best genetics possible to our commercial clients, we will not be allowing stud transfers to registered herds. This will provide even better bulls to our wonderful commercial clients and allow us to compete at public auction or by private negotiation, and access the absolute best steer calves and 18-month cattle on the market. Any semen proceeds will be slit 51:49 with the bull’s new owner.
This will also make Te Mania genetics more widely accessible to stud breeders who want to use them as now instead of having to pay a lot for bull, semen will be available by tender.
Tender considerations will include but not be limited to, North or South Island exclusivity for one year, volume and price per straw. Te Mania reserves the right to choose what tenders are successful for example volume may override the value of one studs offer wanting 12 month exclusivity.
For Natural mating bull leases can be discussed for stud duties if agreed on between Te Mania, the commercial (non stud registered herd) purchaser and prospective registered herd lessees. The lessee will be responsible for all costs associated including but not limited to insurance transport and any society registrations. Proceeds from stud leases will be split Te Mania 10% and the commercial customer 90%.
