WELCOME
Dear Beef Farmers
Welcome to our 21st on-farm Angus Bull sale to be held on Wednesday 4th June starting at 1pm.
As I write this it is still incredibly dry here in the King Country, we were looking good until Christmas but since then we have lacked moisture, and things are short to say the least. There is some rain on the horizon for later this week so hopefully that comes and then we get some follow-up. At least it is still mild.
The real positive over the last twelve months has been the improving returns for sheep and beef farmers. Certainly, from a beef perspective it has been solid for quite some time but that has gone to another level in the last few months and very good schedules are available for beef with the USA (a major influencer in world beef prices) with the lowest cow numbers since 1951.
During this time, you might expect that the rising price of beef would put a downward pressure on consumption, but this has not happened, and US consumers continue being prepared to pay good money for high quality beef.
When things are buoyant and prices strong, it can be easy to take your eye off the target, but we urge you not to do that –cattle breeding is a long-term business as you know and the quickest way to heartbreak is to lose sight of your breeding objective or chase a rainbow.
Animals that have strong maternal attributes along with early maturing top-quality carcases will reward you over time. This year Angus Australia who we record with have new EBV’s which are shown in this catalogue that highlight mature cow condition and mature cow height. These are import traits for hill country farmers to monitor.
Recently, Beef & Lamb have been in the news announcing the launch of the n-prove for beef selection tool along with a claim they were launching NZ based indexes. That claim is a misnomer as indexes used in NZ for many years across all breed societies not just Angus have been designed specifically
for New Zealand along with using New Zealand economic models and returns.
The AngusPRO index that we use, and the other Angus NZ indexes are all New Zealand specific indexes. You can have confidence in them if you are a self-replacing herd wanting also to target premium prime beef markets.
We are excited by this year’s lineup of bulls for sale and Bruce has presented them in great order. Some new sires represented include, Dunoon Recharge who recently had a son sell in Tasmania for $275,000 Clunie Range Plantation and Murdeduke Quarterback and Lawsons Rocky. From the past there are some Beast Modes back and then four of our own in Storth Oaks 47 who has a good number of sons, Storth Oaks S11, S6 and S30.
It is really pleasing to see our own genetics come through and reach the top consistently. Every bull in the catalogue has either the AngusPure A+ or A endorsement with the vast majority, 62 in fact having the A+.
Also worth noting is that the average IMF or marbling EBV of those bulls catalogued is +3.72 This is more than 4x the Angus New Zealand breed average figure of +0.9 and well above the Australasian average of +2.5
I continue to mention the desirability or the extra progress you as commercial beef producers can make by utilising new technologies such as genomics through taking up Heifer Select or Inherit Select. This will help maximise the genetics going into your replacement herd. The old drafting stick and eye for the biggest will not necessarily mean the most profitable females in your herd over the next 10 years.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your program or breeding objectives, please do get in touch. We would love to have a chat with you.
Best wishes
Tim and Kelly

BEEF CLASS
STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT
Structural problems in cattle have a substantial effect on both the reproductive and growth performance of a beef herd. It is widely recognized that structural problems in a sire have detrimental effects on conception rates, calving patterns and thus profitability. Similarly, females with inadequate structural characteristics are more prone to weaning lighter calves or conceiving later in the breeding season than their more functional counterparts. These structural problems are filtered through the supply chain resulting in reduced income for the producer and thus reducing the overall productivity.
Bill Austin | Accredited Structural Assessor #1036 | Assessed on 05/03/2025
The current trend for improving consistency and quality of product has shifted producers focus, towards selecting seedstock on carcase and growth genetic traits (EBV’s). Whilst this selection has been, and will continue to be pivotal in developing the New Zealand beef industry, we must not forget the fundamentals of livestock breeding.
Storth Oaks is continually expanding their structural assessment program in order to optimise soundness and performance in their stock. The program involves an independent assessor analysing the structural composition of the herd on an individual basis. Storth Oaks is implementing a annual program of assessing all of it’s breeding stock and sale bulls. All animal’s deemed inadequate will be culled.
UNDERSTANDING THE BEEF CLASS STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT
For docility – 1 is Docile to the point of touching the animal, 3 is less ideal (restless) and 5 - ag- gressive. (Scores of 1 and 2 are preferred)
For traits scored 1-9:
• 4 and 6 show slight variation from idea but this includes most animals. Any animal scoring 4 and 6 would be acceptable in any breeding program.
• 3 and 7 show greater variation, but would be acceptable in most commercial breeing programs, but seed stock producers should be wary.
• 2 and 8 are low scoring animals and should be looked at closely before purchasing.
• 1 and 9 should not be catalogued and are considered culls.
NEW MATURE COW EBVS FOR ANGUSPRO
AngusPRO cattle are registered with Angus Australia, and recently, this has given them a commercial advantage with the addition of two new EBVs to utilise — Mature Cow Body Condition and Mature Cow Height. Profit drivers for beef producers are commonly linked to growth and carcass traits. However, to continue to make more informed selection decisions for overall herd profitability, consideration of mature cow traits that impact the performance of the cow herd will be essential.
Mature Body Condition score (MBC), Mature Cow Height (MCH), and Mature Cow Weight (MCW) should be considered for their impact on the efficiency of the cow herd and tailored to your environmental conditions and market demands.
Current selection practices often rely on traits measured in younger animals, such as live ultrasound and carcass fat depth, to infer mature cow body condition and the ‘doing ability’ of females.
MATURE COW BODY CONDITION (MBC) EBVS provide estimates of genetic differences between animals in the body condition of mature females. Mature Cow Body Condition EBVs are calculated from a subjective assessment of an animal’s body condition and are expressed in score units. Higher Mature Body Condition EBVs indicate an animal is expected to produce daughters with more body condition as mature females
MATURE COW HEIGHT (MCH) EBVS provide estimates of genetic differences between animals in the height of mature females
Mature Cow Height EBVs are calculated from height measurements taken at the hip and are expressed in cm units. Higher Mature Cow Height EBVs indicate an animal is expected to produce daughters that are taller as mature females.
USING PERCENTILES FOR BULL SELECTION
Angus bulls sold within New Zealand are registered in two different databases — Angus Australia (AngusPRO animals) and Angus New Zealand. The TACE percentiles in sale catalogues are only relevant to the population they are compared against, meaning you can compare one AngusPRO animal against another, but these percentiles can’t be compared across different breed societies i.e. animals registered with Angus NZ.
It is however important to note that the TACE EBVs themselves are comparable. For most EBV traits, the direct EBV is comparable to establish expected progeny performance differences, however, where the animal sits in reference to the rest of that population (its ranking) can be substantially different across the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand societies.
Let’s look at the breed average for IMF. Angus Australia’s 50th percentile is +2.4, whereas Angus NZ’s 50th percentile is +0.9 (February 2025 TACE analysis). If you’re selecting bulls based on percentiles, please ensure you are aware of the population they’re compared with, or check the actual EBV figures carefully.
BULL FERTILITY
All bulls in this catalogue have met the following parameters that are required to pass the Viabull Semen Specialists conducted by Darren Williams, Bovine Reproduction Consultant.
1
. PENILE SOUNDNESS - Each bulls extended penis is examined for structural soundness, injuries and abnormalities.
2
. SEMEN EVALUATION - Each bulls ejaculate is examined microscopically for Density, Motility, Morphology and must pass the minimum standards of 75% normal.
3
. CIRCUMFERENCE - Each sires scrotal circumference is measured.

Understanding the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE)
What is the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation?
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations.
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).
What is an EBV?
An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).
EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.
Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals
TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).
For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20
kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal’s Genetics with the Breed
EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals recorded with Angus Australia. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:
• the breed average EBV
• the percentile bands table
The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes.
For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.
Considering Accuracy
An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.
The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.
EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.
Description of TACE EBVs
EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.

TO THE SALE
STORTH OAKS BULLS EXCEED BREED TRENDS
Storth Oaks Angus Angus Australia
BRINGING YOUR NEW BULL HOME
When purchasing a bull, care and handling after the sale can be as important as the purchase itself. Looking after your bull well during the initial stages of his working life may ensure longevity and success within your breeding herd.
Purchase
Temperament is an important characteristic when selecting a bull. Selecting a bull that may be flighty or aggressive will make life difficult for you each time he is handled. Note which bulls continu- ally push to the centre of a mob, run around, or are unreasonably nervous, aggressive or excited.
At the sale, note any changes of temperament by individual bulls. Some bulls that are quiet in the yard or paddock may not like the pressure and noise of the auction and become excited. Others that were excited beforehand get much worse in the sale ring and can really perform. Use the yard or paddock behaviour as a guide, rather than the temperament shown in the ring.
Delivery
When transporting your new bull insurance against loss in transit, accidental loss of use, or infertility, is sometimes provided by vendors. Where it is not, it is worth considering.
After purchase tips:
• When purchasing, ask which health treatments he has received
• Treat and handle him quietly at all times - no dogs, no buzzers. Talk to him and give him time and room to make up his mind.
• With more than one bull from different origins, you must be able to separate them on the truck.
• If you can arrange it, put a few quiet cows or steers on the truck with the bull. Let them down into a yard with the bulls for a while before loading and after unloading.
• Unload and reload during the trip as little as possible. If necessary, rest with water and feed. Treat bulls kindly— your impatience or nervousness is easily transmitted to an animal unfamiliar to you and unsure of his environment.
If you use a professional carrier:
• Make sure the carrier knows which bulls can be mixed together.
• Discuss with the carrier, resting procedures for long trips, expected delivery time, truck condition and quiet handling.
• Give ear tag and brand numbers to the carrier and make sure you have the carrier’s phone number.
When buying bulls from far away, you may often have to fit in with other delivery arrangements to reduce cost. You should make it clear how you want your bulls handled.
Arrival
When the bull or bulls arrive home, unload them at the yards into a group of house cows, steers or herd cows.
Never jump them from the back of a truck directly into a paddock— it may be the last time you see them. Bulls from different origins should be put into separate yards with other cattle for company.
Provide hay and water, then leave them alone until the next morning.
The next day, bulls should receive routine health treatments. If they have not been treated before, all bulls should be vaccinated with:
• 5-in-1 vaccine;
• BVD vaccine;
• leptospirosis vaccine
Consult with your veterinarian and draw up a policy for treating bulls on arrival and then annually. Bulls should be drenched to prevent introducing worms and, if necessary, should be treated for lice. Plan to give follow-up vaccinations 4–6 weeks later. The stud farm where the bull has come from may have treated him initially anyway, check!
Leave the bulls in the yards for the next day or two on feed and water to allow them to settle down with other stock for company. A bull’s behaviour will decide how quickly he can be moved out to paddocks.
Mating new young bulls
Newly purchased young bulls should not be placed with older herd bulls for multiple-sire joining. The older, dominant bull will not allow the young bulls to work, and will knock them around while keeping them away from the cows.
Use new bulls in either single-sire groups or with young bulls their own age. If a number of young bulls are to be used together, run them together for a few weeks before joining starts. They sort out their pecking order quickly and have few problems later.
When the young bulls are working, inspect them regularly and closely.
Bulls are a large investment for breeding herds and they have a major effect on herd fertility. A little time and attention to make sure they are fit, free from disease and actively working is well worthwhile.
WHAT DO YOU GET DIFFERENT WHEN YOU BUY A STORTH OAKS BULL?
► Storth Oaks is a genuine hill country property run in a very commercial manner where the cow herd is tested on the hills and has to perform.
► This winter we will calve 310 registered performance recorded females - good base for selection.
► Since its foundation in 1991, Storth Oaks has always mated heifers to calve at 2 years old. All calves are weighed and recorded at birth.
► All animals are DNA sire verified to guarantee the bull is by the sire nominated.
► AI is used extensively with all females being AI’d and some for two cycles. This enables us to source the very best genetics to improve the herd and the herds of our customers.
► Fertility is of paramount importance which means selecting bulls from calving ease sires with strong fertility attributes.
► The Storth Oaks aim is to improve the profitability of our commer- cial customers. If the economics of prime beef production are not lifted by genetic improvement we will lose more land to alternative more profitable land uses.
► All Storth Oaks animals are verified to HD50K test.
► All bulls are fertility and semen tested independently prior to sale
► AngusPro index has a weighting for marbling while also selecting animals suitable to go into a self replacing herd. Marbling attributes cost nothing to put into you genetic selections so why not have it? All research from the USA and the rest of the world suggests that Marbling is the single most important indicator to ensuring beef is consistently tender, juicy and has good flavour.
► Great emphasis is put on temperament or disposition. Calves are yard weaned and introduced to a high fibre straw/ silage mix to make sure the rumen is fully developed to maximise efficiency.
► All bulls are independently Beef Class structurally assessed.
► Storth Oaks delivers bulls free to the North Island.
► BVD negative and have been BVD vaccinated.
► Bulls come with a 3 year structure and fertility guarantee for bulls going into commercial herds (not caused by injury, disease, or poor management.) see sale information for more details.
► All bulls are clear of all known genetic defects.
► All animals at Storth Oaks are HD50K tested at birth for production traits, and incorporated into their EBV’s through single step analysis.

OUR STORY
AngusPRO are a group of New Zealand Angus studs that encompass over 40% of New Zealand’s registered Angus cattle. These studs have united and made the shift across the ditch, to join the progressive governing body that is Angus Australia. Angus Australia pride themselves on their quality of leadership in the delivery of innovative programs that will enhance and promote the value of Angus cattle and beef.
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.
By shifting to Angus Australia, AngusPRO have opened the gateway to technological and education facilities for the studs involved and their clients that are second to none. In what may seem like an administrative shift, we’re all gaining a support network of 30-odd staff, countless educational documents and webinars, training sessions, technological tools, extensive research and continuing breed development. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Angus cattle are the backbone of the New Zealand beef industry. In the commercial environment they’re expected to survive. Amid winter conditions of driving rain and inches of snow they will forage and not only survive, they will thrive. It’s in their DNA.
When stud females are mated as heifers, this replicates the commercial farming model and improves overall fertility within the herd. Increased profitability is therefore bred into those progeny, so to speak. EBVs are the best available tool we have in predicting future progeny and when stud breeders use technologies such as HD50k and Angus GS, the accuracy of EBVs and Indexes is increased.
Angus Australia is focused on supporting the genetic improvement of Angus cattle. Their Angus.Tech suite includes a range of software tools and technologies, such as Angus SELECT, which has been developed to support members in improving the profitability of Angus genetics within the beef supply chain, by assisting with the identification of those genetics that are most aligned with their breeding goals and objectives.
While increased profitability for the client is at the forefront of our AngusPRO members’ aspirations, producing the finest grass fed eating experience for the end consumer is absolutely imperative. This is their ultimate focus.
Maintaining high standards of sustainable farming practice to ensure the land is enhanced for generations to come is of course, part of daily life for the AngusPRO team. The environment here in New Zealand must be nurtured, with clear water in the streams and rich soils underfoot. It should go without saying that animal husbandry is paramount. These ideals and quality grass fed Angus beef go hand in hand for the end consumer.
Although we are a newly formed entity, many of the studs represented have stood the test of time. They are the perfect synergy of old school reputability and new school technique.
AngusPRO are committed to bettering Angus cattle within the New Zealand beef industry and ensuring Angus is the tastiest beef on everyone’s lips.
ANGUSPURE PARTNER
AngusPure NZ has teamed up with 91 Angus studs who share in our vision - to focus on the end consumer. This stud is proud to be named as one of them, and by using the finest genetics and implementing best management practice they can help you produce more premium quality Angus beef. Only our AngusPure Partner studs display these devices in their sale catalogues. They indicate bulls endorsed by AngusPure NZ.
ANGUSPURE ENDORSED BULLS
AngusPure NZ continues to endorse bulls for sale that are either at or above +$126 for the AngusPure index (API) and at or above $113 for the AngusPRO index ($PRO). These indexes give commercial farmers confidence that by using these selection tools, bulls are most likely to leave progeny with superior carcase quality. At the same time, they achieve desirable outcomes for self-replacing herds, as the AngusPure & AngusPRO indexes still reward cattle with strong maternal attributes like calving ease, scrotal and growth, along with carcase weight.
To qualify, bulls will be => +$126 for AngusPure index OR => +$113 for AngusPRO index
EXTRA ANGUSPURE ENDORSEMENT FOR MARBLING
In addition to the ‘A’, and to assist bull buyers who wish to select for more marbling AngusPure is rewarding those animals that are either at or above +$142 for the AngusPure Index (API) and at or above $128 for the AngusPRO Index ($PRO). In addition to this, they must have an IMF EBV (for marbling) equal to or greater than +2.5. These bulls will be awarded an ‘A+’ endorsement. Marbling is one of the very highest eating quality attributes and is necessary in order to meet some of the highest premium requirements for the export program, AngusPure Special Reserve.
To qualify, bulls will be => +$142 for AngusPure index OR => +$128 for AngusPRO index, and in addition all bulls must be => +2.5 for IMF EBV
AngusPure NZ recognises the need to lift the amount of marbling in our New Zealand cow genetics, in order to fill the requirements of consumers going forward. Marbling has two critical components; genetics and feeding. Feeding on a rising plane of nutrition is vital but without the right genetics, these attributes will not be able to express themselves.
