Increasing your profitability starts here.

It’s no easy life for the Totaranui cow. She must calve as a two-year-old and her docility is paramount. She spends the hard winter months behind the ewes, cleaning up the pastures, just as the commercial farmer would expect of her.

Profitability is the bottom line and the Totaranui bloodlines grow fast, have a high yield and marbling, and consequently perform well for our clients.

The AngusPRO index ($PRO) has been developed by Angus Australia specifically for New Zealand farming conditions and beef markets.

At Totaranui we also utilise the $A Index, which estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls.

Everyone in the industry knows that profitability within a cattle system can be improved by making educated predictions with factual data. It’s scientifically proven.

While ensuring cattle are of sound structure and are quiet in nature, the additional use of science and genomics can assist in viewing what’s under the skin of an animal, providing an insight into what future progeny will look like, grow like, breed like and essentially, eat like.
