Riga Angus Stud

BREEDING PHILOSPHY: Over 50 years of proven breeding and maternal performance combined with ongoing selection pressure for sustainable traits together with the latest technologies ensures balanced future breeding with clients requirements and outcomes in mind.

To assist commercial producers to turn off maximum kilograms of beef we primarily focus on producing functional, fertile, easy maintenance and efficient females. We value the contribution these types of females make towards future sustainability, particularly given increasing erratic climatic events.

Selection pressure on the females within the strict parameters set for fertility, calving ease, structural soundness, doing ability, milk and temperament is fundamental to the program.

YEARLING BULL FOCUS.The benefits of using yearling bulls include:

*  Accelerated genetic gain within your herd.
*   Inbuilt soundness and longevity, as the bulls are young, keen, strong, lean and fit.
*  Can lower cost of production as they are proven to have longer working lives resulting in a lower cost per calf over time.
*  Can be easier to manage as are working instead of idle in a paddock and are then more ready to settle into a rest period.
*  Whilst working them can impact appearance, attention to post joining diet overcomes this and the bulls generally remain lean and fit for longer.
*  Lighter weights can also extend their use over heifers.
*  Being younger they are also more adaptable to their new environment.
