Hay Plains Livestock is excited to announce a new partnership with Te Mania Angus, a leading name in Australian Angus genetics.

This collaboration has begun with the arrival of 20 Te Mania Angus spring bulls in Hay. 

These bulls are known for their excellent carcass traits, ease of calving, impressive marbling, and strong $Index figures, making them a valuable addition to any herd.

Ed Lilburne from Hay Plains Livestock sees this partnership as a significant opportunity for the local community.

“We’re thrilled to offer these top-tier herd bulls to our clients, providing them with a unique chance to enhance their herds quickly. 

“We believe this partnership will have long-lasting benefits for our clients.” Ed said.

“These bulls are a great investment for local breeders, offering a significant boost to the performance.”

Te Mania Angus representatives have noticed growing interest from producers in the Hay Plains area over the past few years, making this partnership with Hay Plains Livestock a natural choice.

They also highlight the strong local growing season and increased cattle numbers in the region as additional factors that make this collaboration timely.

“Ed Lilburne and his team have long been key players in the cattle and sheep industries, and with Ed’s expertise as an AuctionsPlus assessor, they are well-positioned to offer full sales and services to the livestock industry,” they added.

“These young bulls have been bred from some of Australia’s top sires, including Te Mania Kirby and Neon. 

“Te Mania Neon N1387, for example, is the 2nd highest-marbling Angus sire in the TransTasman region, with an impressive EBV of +9.8 (82 per cent). At the same time, Te Mania Kirby K138 (IMF +8.7) was a top sire and has been widely used in ACR herds, offering high accuracy for marbling.”
