Angus

Naturally polled and black, ensuring uniformity and easier management, LIC selected Angus sires have proven highly reliable for calving ease (MINDA® records), and consistently show the shortest gestation lengths of any beef breed. These Angus sires exhibit good growth with an ability to finish and grade well, with proven marbling performance. These animals are bred by AngusPRO members, who use cutting-edge genetic evaluation, large datasets, and genomic information to achieve high rates of genetic gain. Straws are offered as individual sires or via the SGL Angus Pack and Angus Focus Pack.

725058 Waitangi Opportunity T202

Waitangi Opportunity is LIC’s number one pick of all 2023-born New Zealand Angus bulls. He’s a moderately framed bull, naturally thick and well-muscled, with an excellent temperament. His breed data puts him in the top 3% of the breed for Calving Ease and top 2% for Gestation Length. His EBVs suggest his progeny should have explosive growth (top 11% for 600 Day Weight), combined with great carcase characteristics (Eye Muscle Area and marbling in the top 15%). This combination ranks him in the top 1% in the Australasian Angus Dairy selection index, making him a prime sire option for any dairy-beef production system.

722196 Stokman Solution S329

We believe Solution is one of the best Angus bulls available anywhere today. This bull excels for both dairy farmer and beef finisher profitability. Within the Trans-Tasman Angus Cattle Evaluation, he ranks in the top 1% of the breed for Calving Ease, short Gestation Length, and low Birth Weight. He is at breed average for growth and ranks well for both muscling and marbling.

722144 Kakahu Project 20085

Project’s results from the Dairy Beef Progeny Test are in and they are outstanding. Of beef sires (representing multiple breeds) evaluated in his year, Project ranked first for shortest gestation length (277.9 days) and first for low birth Weight (34.5kg). Proving to be a true curve-bender, he ranked fourth for 200 Day Weight and seventh for 400 Day Weight. These figures are backed by all-round impressive BREEDPLAN EBVs from calving through to growth and carcase. Project is a true Dairy-Beef specialist.

721261 Rissington Paradox

Bred by Rissington Cattle Company in Hawke’s Bay, Paradox had less than 1% of his 2024-born beef x dairy progeny that required calving assistance, (evidence of among the lowest rates of calving difficulty of any beef sire). A popular and proven sire for both calving ease and days in milk, Paradox also delivers growth data and great carcase figures that are within the top 10%. It’s no surprise he was among the highest ranking of all Rissington bulls on the $Dairy® Index.
