Why Us?

Breeding is in our blood, beginning with pioneer breeder RE Jefferson, with horned Herefords and Angus cattle, followed by Walter, Rick and Andrew Powdrell with Turiroa Angus. In 2024 Turiroa will celebrate 80 years of breeding pedigree Angus cattle.

Passionate about Angus cattle and the beef industry, we are continually striving to breed high-class stud and commercial Angus cattle that will ultimately increase our clients’ bottom lines.
Predictable, proven cow herd continually monitored and refined through rigorous selection and culling, incorporating modern day technologies, high stocking rates and stockmanship.

Continually selecting our top females and using them in an ET program to maximize superior genetics for over 15 years.

Strong emphasis on retaining a breed type that thrive on hill country, are structurally sound and have a good temperament.

Excellent guarantee and back up service to help protect your investment.
All retained females and sires are now DNA tested for sire verification to ensure pedigree accuracy, as well as incorporating Genomic Testing.

Turiroa Farm and Stud is now operated by myself and Tracey making it the third generation of Powdrell’s to run the stud and fifth generation to farm at Turiroa.
It is with great sadness that Dad (Rick) passed away suddenly on December 28 2022 while out checking a mob of cows and calves. Dad had been involved with the stud for 55 years and we will certainly miss his guidance, enthusiasm and passion for all things Angus.
