NZ BEEF NEEDS TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE USA MARKET
KAKAHU EXPANDS INTO DAIRY WITH ANGUS EMBRYO’S
KAKAHU
Located south of Geraldine, the property is 1200 hectares ranging from river flats to steeper hills. 250 hectares are irrigated. Kakahu has an Angus and Charolais stud.
The Angus stud was started in 1954 by KH Hargreaves, Gerald’s father, and now we run 550 cows with around 100 of these at Clayton Station. Huge emphasis is placed on breeding animals with high production and great constitution. We breed cattle suitable for the high end meat market, so when breeders are paid for quality they will be at the leading edge.
The Charolais Stud was started in 2006 by Gerald and Tom, and now has 80 cows, selecting especially for good temperament and feet as well as growth and carcass attributes.
We run 3000 composite ewes and fatten all lambs.
We have two cattle sales a year, selling 100 Angus bulls and 20 Charolais bulls in June, and 60 Angus yearlings in October. We sell approximately 200 Kakahu bred commercial heifers for sale throughout the Spring. These heifers are mated to yearling bulls in the top 5% for Calving Ease.

Weaning time for our KAKAHU EMBRYO CALVES.
Embracing modern technology and innovation is a great way to diversify farming systems.
These dairy cows not only have supplied milk to the nation they have also bought up high genetic beef animals that will enhance the beef industry to compete with synthetic meat industry that seems to be becoming more popular.
Nothing can compete with grass fed high quality beef that New Zealand is so well known for.
