" Farming predominately Marlborough hill country we need bulls that will handle these conditions.
Taimate bulls are solid built bulls, built to climb to the top of the blocks, shift well with the ability to hold condition in the dry and have longevity. I have brought bulls from Taimate stud over the last five years and have not had a bull breakdown.
We now produce a calf that is more compact and heavier at weaning. With calves sold at weaning this is a great improvement for us. ng predominately Marlborough hill country we need bulls that will handle these conditions.

"We have used Taimate Bulls at Flaxbourne Station for the last three years. These bulls have excellent temperament which is showing through in the young stock.
Taimate Bulls are bred and reared in a difficult environment and shift well.
The stud is based on more traditional lines showing great soundness, constitution and temperament, a result of good breeding and rigorous selection criteria.
The stock at Taimate are a credit to Ossie, Paul and all the Hickman team."

We are passionate about breeding quality angus cattle
Taimate Angus Bull Breeders -
What sets us apart from the rest...
Traditional Angus Cattle
We only breed using New Zealand Sires, with a very limited use of any over seas bloodlines. This enables us to produce deep, thickset, well muscled bulls – The traditional Angus Cattle Beast.
Reared to withstand any climate
Our bulls are raised in one of New Zealand’s driest climates, with no irrigation, and run on hill country for 75% of their lives to sale day. They are able to handle climatic conditions throughout the country, and are still able to perform and hold their condition.
Human contact for better temperament
Taimate Angus Bulls are raised with human contact and are regularly worked with dogs from a young age. They have excellent temperament.
Focused on the needs of farmers
We endeavor to have personal contact with all our clients on a regular basis. We value their input for ongoing improvement to our breeding programme.
