Farmer's Smart Move: Angus Bull Boosts Breeding
Description
Wairarapa farmer Keith Higgins made a strategic move last year by purchasing the record-breaking Angus bull, Tangihau U four eighteen, for $161,000. Higgins, who runs a breeding operation near Masterton, chose the bull for its ideal outcross bloodline, which complemented his females. The bull has since performed exceptionally well, contributing to strong results in Higgins breeding and artificial insemination plans. Despite the high-end buys this autumn season, Higgins is focusing on acquiring a couple of yearling bulls as he downsizes his farm from 570 hectares to 60. The beef industrys global herd rebuilds and optimistic price momentum have created a positive atmosphere for these sales.
