Welcome to the Otapawa Poll Hereford
Stud.
"The home of real hill country cattle". We aim to breed
efficient Poll Herefords that have
good conformation,
high maternal ability, structurally sound and that can deliver high
performance on our hill
country.
Our herd consists of 220 breeding females that are
farmed on medium to steep hill country that rises to 2000ft on the foothills of
the Puketoi Ranges. We are currently increasing our base herd to 320
females.
Due to the properties locality and contour, our
cattle are bred to perform especially throughout the cold harsh winters
that we experience. Our cattle are pasture run all year round. (not
housed). We are a grass based feeding system year
round. We run our stud cattle in a completely commercial environment, competing
with 9000 ewes, and 1200 commercial cattle.
Our cattle are grass fed, with pasture hay and silage supplements fed during
winter. Our bull sale is held on property on the first Tuesday of June each
year. We offer around 30 to 40 bulls for Auction.
Selection of superior sires has always been paramount within our
breeding programme. We have recently bought and imported two Australian
bulls to further enhance our programme.
Please do not hesitate to contact
us if you require any
further information at any time. Please feel free to browse our web site
for more information relating to our operation.
Otapawa also run Perendale and Poll Dorset Sheep Studs. Our principles
are the same, sound, easy care, prolific, and profitable, and a continual drive
to improve.
