The New Zealand Angus Association Inc

The New Zealand Angus Association is an Incorporated Society which aims to promote the use of the Angus breed within New Zealand and maintain the ongoing integrity of the breed. The Association is governed by a council of seven (7) members with the assistance of the General Manager. Each board director represents a geographical area (Ward) and is elected on an annual basis with the President holding office for a two year period. The council meet on a regular basis to discuss the Association's direction and set policy. The Association maintain and update the New Zealand Pedigree Register using the BREEDPLAN performance recording system. It provides breeders with valuable performance reports enabling them to further enhance their stud farming objectives. It also undertakes national promotion, provides assistance with individual advertising & promotion (see promotions section) and offers a wide range of farm-based services. The Association provides input into industry-wide issues and co-ordinates breed marketing opportunities. Along with an Annual magazine and bi-monthly newsletters, an annual herd book and Genetic Evaluation report of registered bulls and cows are published and distributed to all breed members as part of the 'membership package'. The herd book entries are the recorded progeny of approximately 25,000 stud Angus cows farmed nationwide. As an Angus breeder you can expect:

> Cattle well suited to New Zealand's farming systems.
> Cattle with great adaptability to the varying conditions of altitude, topography, climate, nutrition and management.
> Cattle with the resilience to cope with feed shortages and to recover quickly from drought and harsh winter conditions.
> Easy calving, high growth rate sires capable of producing progeny meeting market requirements - In a large organised cross breeding trial in New Zealand, females mated to Angus sires showed fewer problems at calving than those mated to a selection of seven other breed sires.
> Calves which grow rapidly and efficiently on pasture or in a feedlot, reaching heavy weights when about eighteen months of age.
> Dams which are known for their fertility, hardiness and proven ability to get in calf quickly and consistently.
> Dams which calve without assistance and produce fast finishing progeny.
> Dams who are good foragers, with a long life span and constant production.
> Angus beef that consistently achieves more desirable results in carcass quality determinants such as marbling, fat depth, meat colour and pH assuring a tastier and more tender product. (For further details on Angus beef please refer to the section on AngusPureª.)

As it draws to a close we would like to pass on a massive thank you to Boehringer Ingelheim for their generous support of Angus NZ this past year - in particular the No Bull Weekender event and the Generation Angus tour to Australia.

As the year draws to a close, Angus NZ would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to our community in 2025.

To our breeders, sponsors, partners, Board and Ward members, judges, staff and supporters — your passion, commitment and generosity are what make Angus NZ such a strong and respected organisation.

We’re proud of what’s been achieved together this year and grateful for the people behind it - including a special belated acknowledgment to Silver Fern Farms, PBBNZ, Nadine Hickman, Emily Fraszynski, and Boehringer Ingelheim for helping make the No Bull Weekender a key highlight on this years' calendar.

We wish you and your families a safe, relaxing Christmas and all the best for a successful year ahead.

As we head into the close of 2025, it’s a proud moment for Angus New Zealand and our breeders nationwide. This year delivered the strongest results on record, with exceptional seedstock prices and multiple top-price records confirming the strength, demand and confidence in Angus NZ genetics.

With this success comes opportunity. As Vice President Kendall Langston notes, when the market is strong, it’s the right time to invest, innovate and build for the future. The rollout of the Helical platform in 2025 has already transformed the way our breeders access, manage and use genetic data — creating greater accuracy, agility and collaboration across the breed.

Looking ahead to 2026, the focus is firmly on unity, education and adding value for our members. With growing engagement at ward and governance level, strong youth involvement, and renewed confidence across the seedstock sector, Angus NZ is well positioned for another exciting year ahead.

As Kendall says — it’s simply more fun when things are going well.

🎄Angus NZ Christmas Close: 5pm Friday 19 December 2025
