Herd Progress and Summer Outlook

The Cudgewa property is looking exceptional as early summer growth continues. The autumn-calving females are maintaining excellent condition after a mild spring, and feed levels are supporting a strong joining program ahead. The latest structural and EBV data continue to reflect the consistency we’ve built into the herd — with fertility, claw set, and carcase quality all trending well above national breed averages.

Spotlight on the V-Series – The Next Generation Arrives

The 2024-born V-Series bulls have reached a significant milestone, with several now completing early evaluation rounds. Highlights include:
- PAVEY VERIFIED V3PV – exceptional balance of growth and IMF, with standout docility and short gestation.
- PAVEY VANQUISH V1PV – early-maturing, high-marbling type ideal for both stud and commercial systems.
- PAVEY VOLT V7PV – combining feed efficiency and elite carcase weight under the Stoney Point Spectacular line.
- PAVEY VISIONARY V16PV – high IMF (+4.0) with structural excellence, the ultimate 'carcase plus fertility' sire.

These sires represent the next stage of genetic precision at Pavey Angus — combining elite data with visual correctness and balanced temperament.

Genetic Benchmarking and Feed Efficiency

The November Angus Australia TransTasman Evaluation placed several Pavey Angus bulls in the top 10–20% nationally for $A and $A‑L indexes. Significant gains were recorded in feed efficiency (NFI‑F) and fertility traits, both central to long-term profitability and sustainability. This further confirms our breeding focus: efficient, fertile cattle with real‑world performance and premium grid suitability.

Looking Ahead – The W-Series

Preparations are underway for the 2025 W‑Series matings, including embryo programs from leading females such as PAVEY MICHELLE S3PV and PAVEY UNIQUE U3PV. The next round of AI and embryo transfer programs will match elite global sires with the strongest home‑bred Pavey Angus genetics.

Field Notes

- Heat Adaptability: Herd condition remains excellent as temperatures rise.
- Customer Demand: Strong enquiry for 2026 bulls, particularly Verified, Visionary, and Vanquish sons.
- Genomics: New genomic samples in processing to lift EBV accuracy for the March evaluation.

In Summary

Pavey Angus continues to build momentum with a herd anchored in structure, fertility, and market-focused carcase merit. Each generation reinforces our direction: breeding Angus cattle that excel under real commercial pressure while delivering premium grid performance.

Performance with Purpose.
