Resurgam Angus
“The natural choice for grass-fed beef”
10thAnnual Private Treaty Sale
Resurgam Ngahere U407
About Us
We are very pleased to have for sale by Private
Treaty an even selection of bulls with fantastic
temperament.
Over the past 19 years we have re-built a base
of Pure New Zealand Aberdeen Angus maternal
Genetics. These maternal genetics are renowned
for their superior meat quality and easy doing
ability. The cattle are great converters of lower
quality grass to high quality beef; they maintain
during feed shortages, they will bounce back from
lost weight quickly.
Sean became interested in the Angus breed
through his livestock role with AFFCO. In 1996 he
introduced Aberdeen Angus cattle to Resurgam,
the family farm.
While establishing the Resurgam Aberdeen Angus herd we discovered the
unique quality of Pure New Zealand Angus cattle. These cattle have the
attributes we believe are needed for New Zealand’s grass based farming
systems.

Background
The first six heifers were purchased at a bull sale from the Maunu and
Taurikura herds in 1996.
We identified a number of bloodlines to incorporate into our herd. These
included Matai 546, York of Kenhardt, Ramble of Kauere 175-5, Hingaia 469,
Wharkowka Mate 544, Baxter of Matauri, and Puketutu bloodlines.
These carried the “Pure New Zealand” genetics that are traced to the original
Scottish cattle which came to New Zealand from 1863 onwards.

In 1998 we started adding Pure NZ genetics to our program with the purchase
of Waiwera Zeus I474. From 2000 we started adding females from Waimata
Angus, Kenhardt, Waiwera Angus, Waitawheta Angus and the last Pure NZ
cows out of the Waiterenui herd.
Foundation Sires used in our Herd:
Waiwera Zeus I474
Waimata Blu-print G436
Waimata Lad E230
Mainstream Mate 301 ET
Pinebank Waigroup 41/97
It is very satisfying to be using sons through to
great grandsons from these key foundation sires
within our herd.
In summary, our herd has grown over the past
19 years with our breeding programme aimed
to preserve the unique qualities of the Pure New Zealand Aberdeen Angus
cattle. It is our vision to produce moderate birth-weight calves, with strong
maternal & paternal qualities, feed-efficient cattle with high meat quality.
We seek longevity in our cows with easy fleshing in our herd and require
minimum maintenance while working in a 100% grass based environment.

Waitangihia Station
On the 1st July 2009 we expanded our farming operation, taking over
Waitangihia Station in Waikura Valley, Hicks Bay.
Waitangihia Station is 652 ha effective in area and is used for heifer
development. The R2 Stud heifers are calved at the station where we evaluate
their calves and select the best performing heifers to go into the stud herd.
The R2 heifers receive their last drench as 2 year olds having calved. We also
run a commercial herd of cows.
In December 2011 we moved down to the Waikura Valley and took a hands
on interest in Waitangihia Station.
Over the past year we have included two neighbouring stations in our
operations.

Bull Information
The R2 bulls are reared on the family farm - a beautiful emerald valley
overlooking the Ohiwa Harbour in the Bay of Plenty. They are fed a high
roughage grass diet which enables them to grow at a more consistent rate.
We believe bulls in their natural conditions are more athletic on hill country
and have increased fertility from less fat cells in their scrotum. It is very
important that they perform from birth right through to breeding.
Our bulls have done well in a number of different farming environments
throughout the North Island. The bulls available in this 10th Private Treaty
Sale are bred on low fertility coastal country and receive minimal drenching.
Our aim is to build a strong natural immune system in our animals that forage
on lower quality pasture and perform well when they leave the property.
The main cow herd has not been drenched for 12 years and only receive an
annual copper and B12 with selenium.
For sale this year we have 41 R2 Bulls. This line of bulls includes 36 that are
suitable for heifer mating.
Jodi and I are confident about the future of our maternal Pure New Zealand
Aberdeen Angus. We would like to thank you for considering our Resurgam
Angus 2 year old bulls for your next breeding season.
We invite you to visit us at Resurgam and to see our sale bulls. Please
phone for more information or further directions – we look forward to
hearing from you.
