  • “We have been buying heifers for the purpose of joining and calving over the last few years. We started to notice that Te Mania heifers were always a standout in the market.  We decided that it would be in our favour to join with Te Mania bulls and retain our own heifer portion.  In March, we bought four bulls using auctionsPlus in the Te Mania Angus Autumn bull sale.  We aimed specifically for bulls with low birthweight figures to be used for joining heifers.  The whole process worked exceptionally well and the bulls were delivered from Victoria to central NSW with a minimum of fuss.  They have a very good temperament and the description was 100 percent accurate.  We are looking forward to our first drop of calves in 2017 and plan to replace more bulls with Te Mania bulls in the autumn of 2017 using the same process.”

  • We saw Team Te Mania as a really good operating plan.  With the quality of the semen from the best bulls Te Mania produces and the quality of the back-up bulls, it works well for us.  This year I can see the difference in our heifers and how good they looked.  The steers are some of the best we have seen come through our small on-farm feedlot, where they were fed for 70-90 days and weighed once a month.  Overall they averaged 2.3 kgs weight gain per day.

  • On a recent visit to Te Mania Angus, we were extremely impressed by their operation. In particular seeing such large numbers of high quality cattle, with the highlights for us being the first calver’s and the mob of 500+ young bulls. It was great to see a herd with such a firm breeding objective and overall game plan, that makes the most of the latest tecnologies to select for their target market. I was particularly envious of the extensive AI and ET programs especially when combined with the progeny testing program. These in my opinion are the foundation for objective selectin that ultimately improves performance.

  • Te Mania Angus still remains the bull supplier of choice for many of our commercial clients Australia Wide. With Te Mania influenced genetics demanding premiums from feedlotters, professional backgrounders and breeders, it is easy to understand why cattlemen are choosing Te Mania Bulls to enhance their genetic progress in their cow herds. Combine this with superior back up service, breed leading EBVS and a program whose bulls are renowned for their structural integrity and kind temperament, our clients benefit greatly from their involvement with one of Australia’s most progressive and respected Angus seedstock operations.

  • In a time when numbers seem to maketh the bull it was most gratifying to inspect the Te Mania operation this week and appreciate the breadth and discipline of the breeding programme. I saw this year’s bulls and the weaning of next year’s calves and marvelled at their evenness and type and the fact they are run with strict adherence to commercial reality.

  • The temperament, doing capacity and overall performance that the Te Mania Angus bred cattle exhibit in our country in north western New South Wales has been outstanding. Since the break in the 2008/9 drought and the tremendous increase in our carrying capacity we have retained all heifers and we are now carrying a record number of Te Mania Angus females and all are joined to Te Mania Angus bulls.

  • When people ask me why Ardenside Angus has continued buying bulls from Te Mania Angus for the past 27 years my answer is: I don’t know anywhere else in Australia where I can choose from over 100 bulls with the same quality and depth of breeding.

  • We purchased our first Te Mania Angus bulls, Joel and Joseph 20 years ago in March 1991. Since then we have returned to Te Mania many times to source sires giving us cutting edge performance traits blended with quiet temperament and sound structure. With this injection of all round ability we are able to breed our own replacement females and produce weaner steers that are sought after by the feedlotters or their associates.
