Kakahu Buys Centrewood Charolais Stud

May, 2007

Kakahu has purchased Centrewood Charolais Stud from Jamie and Dougal Sutherland

Gerald Hargreaves, owner of Kakahu Angus says: "I believe it will be complementay to our angus operation.  Many angus breeders like to use a different follow up sire for the third cycle, and the Charolais is excellent as it is easy to distinguish late calvers and so cull and keep herd calving periods short. Besides this their good growth will give profitalbe calves from later calving cows."

"The Centrewood herd an old stud, with genetics very well established. Jamie has practiced good basic animal husbandry. His cattle are quiet, easy calving and relatively hardy being run in paddock conditions."

"A functional line of 120 cows are coming to calve at Kakahu this year."
