For more than 40 years, Te Mania Angus has followed the vision of its late founder Andrew Gubbins – that marbling would, in the future, create positive differentiation in the high-value end of the beef market.
Where it is now firmly established – and recognised – that cattle with genotypic marbling demand premium prices.
Since the 1980s it has been our focus on data, always driven by the latest technology, as the blueprint for the herd’s genetic strategy.
At the same time, dedicated collection of all scanning data, has been provided to the Angus breed to continually improve the overall accuracy of the marbling (IMF) EBV – underwritten by carcase feedback from sire progeny groups. Which also helps better identify the lines where the marbling gene heredity is higher.
This long, slow burn in the improvement of marbling within the national Angus herd in the past 40 years has meant all economically-important production traits have been able to be improved in parallel.
Te Mania Angus is dedicated to improving the profitability of our client herds through focused, quantitative genetic improvement and to that end we continue to conservatively predict the future, and progressively, aggressively, pursue its future goals.
