The Cranney family have been sourcing their Angus bulls from Te Mania Angus, and find the bulls have exceeded expectations through the effect they have had on the breeder herd and the progeny.  “At sale time we use EBV data and a visual assessment to target sires with moderate birthweight, high fertility and growth, structural soundness and in the top 10 per cent intramuscular fat and eye muscle area” John Cranney said.  Full story
