The latest Angus Australia Genetic Benchmarking Report has confirmed Pavey Angus as one of the nation’s top-advancing herds for growth, carcase merit, and genetic integrity.
Drawing on five years of independent data from the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE), this official benchmarking analysis highlights the herd’s consistent upward trajectory across all key profit-driving traits.

Key Findings from Angus Australia

• Growth Superiority: Pavey Angus continues to rank above breed average for 200-, 400-, and 600-day growth, delivering exceptional weight-for-age performance.
• Carcase Excellence: Carcase weight and eye muscle area (EMA) remain standout strengths, complemented by a steady rise in intramuscular fat (IMF%) for improved marbling.
• Profitability Indexes: The latest generation of calves recorded $A and $A-L indexes 10–15 points higher than the current breeding females, reflecting targeted use of elite sires such as DB Iconic G95, Baldridge Alternative E125, Pavey Manuel T14, and Compass-line bulls.
• Genetic Integrity: With inbreeding levels under 2% and negligible recessive carriers, the report confirms Pavey Angus’ disciplined, data-driven breeding strategy and excellent genetic management.

Balanced, Sustainable Breeding Direction

While the herd continues to excel in performance and profitability, Angus Australia notes opportunities to further enhance calving ease and maternal efficiency, ensuring long-term balance between production and fertility. Frame size and feed efficiency remain well-managed, supporting both sustainability and commercial relevance.

Next-Generation Advantage

With sires averaging just four years of age and dams around five, Pavey Angus is achieving shorter generation intervals than the national average — accelerating the genetic turnover and adoption of superior bloodlines across the herd.

In Summary

The Angus Australia Genetic Benchmarking Report independently verifies that Pavey Angus is a high-performance, fast-progressing herd built on proven genetics, profitability, and soundness.
Our commitment remains clear — to breed data-verified Angus cattle that combine performance, structure, and integrity for Australia’s most progressive beef producers.
