Sale Bulls are presented in forward store condition. We believe this is a crucial ingredient to minimize breakdowns in our cattle. They are born and reared on the hills, so steep terrain is nothing new to them.

Care of your new Bull

•  The majority of Turiroa bulls are run in a mob situation and to help them settle away from this security they will require a mate – a steer or cow as a companion. Please avoid putting him into a mob of older bulls – these bulls will dominate mating and fighting will occur.

•  Handle them quietly – Turiroa bulls are accustomed to being handled by Stockmen on horses or motorbikes and with dogs, at a calm and steady pace.

•  Young bulls are still growing so ensure their paddock is large enough to have adequate feed with a little hay to maintain their growth pattern and help them to settle.

•  Regularly check your bull when he is out with the cows and if you have any concerns about the bulls fertility, please contact us. We will recommend a vet check, and if the vet suspects a fertility problem, we will endeavor to lend you a bull to get through the season and a money back guarantee.

•  When the season is finished, the bull should be drenched and put away on good feed. Adequate feed will help stop fighting and also assists bulls to settle into their groups.

During 2002 the New Zealand Angus Association changed its inspection system to reflect an increasing demand for a quality control system that could be promoted throughout the Angus Industry.

Now animals of a minimum age (18 months) which pass inspection by qualified Association Inspectors may assume an
Approved Status and may be promoted in public sale forums under the associated
New Zealand Angus Association Approved Status logo as shown here.

This means that the animal has passed a minimum standard with relation to:
• Structural Soundness • Capacity • Feet • Reproductive Traits
• Jaw • Sheath • Angus Breed Type • Testicles • Frame Size • Temperament

The stud buyer can then buy with confidence knowing that all the above points have been considered.
Look out for the Approved Status logo in breeders' catalogues this year: your guarantee of quality.
•  Accredited brucellosis and tuberculosis (c10) free herd.
•  Mannisidosis free
•  BVD vaccinated

If at any time, a purchaser has doubts about a bulls fertility or serving capacity, our bulls are
fully guaranteed and we will assist you to protect your investment.

Conditions of Guarantee

•  Please notify us so we can advice on guarantee procedures.
•  A vet certificate stating infertility or unsoundness must be forwarded to us.
•  Unless for humane reasons we must be notified prior to disposing of the bull.
