Welcome to Kakahu Angus Stud's Website


An excellent gallery attended the Kakahu Angus 34th Bull Sale held June 21st

It was a muddy day after 12 inches of rain and 4ml more the morning of the sale.

An even line of compact, meaty bulls sold mainly to commercial buyers, who showed an excellent understanding of EBVs.  With all but one of the bulls over the average for the Angus Pure Index, there was plenty of quality to select from. 
 
85 bulls sold of 85 offered

The average was $6021
Lot 35 sold to Totaranui Stud, Pahiatua for the top price of $17,000.
