Seasonal Update – Ideal Conditions Driving Herd Momentum

Early December has delivered steady rainfall and mild heat, creating ideal conditions across the Cudgewa property. Pastures remain strong, providing consistent body condition across both stud and commercial females. The autumn-calving cows continue to track well above national averages for body condition score and structural balance, positioning the herd perfectly as joining selections are refined for the 2025 breeding cycle.

V-Series Progress Report – Standout Performers Emerging

The 2024 V-Series bulls continue separating themselves as a truly elite drop. Key highlights this week:
- PAVEY VISIONARY V16PV – exceptional carcase depth and IMF (+4.0), a leading balance sire.
- PAVEY VERIFIED V3PV – outstanding temperament with strong early growth and short gestation.
- PAVEY VALID V17PV – impressive EMA (+8.8) and feed efficiency, ideal for premium grid systems.
- PAVEY VOLT V7PV – notable structural power and carcase weight.

These sires continue to undergo comprehensive evaluations, supporting Pavey Angus’ commitment to accuracy, transparency, and measurable herd progress.

Genomics & EBV Accuracy Boost – New Data Arriving

New genomic results have been returned this week, further increasing EBV accuracy across the V-Series. Improvements were strongest in fertility, carcase traits, and structural soundness. This expanding genomic dataset enhances reliability and strengthens the genetic stability of Pavey Angus relative to national benchmarks.

W-Series Planning – Precision Mating for 2025

Planning for the 2025 W-Series is now finalised, blending proven US sires, elite Australian carcase sires, and top-performing homebred genetics. Embryo donors include PAVEY MICHELLE S3PV and PAVEY UNIQUE U3PV. This program will push the next generation forward in growth efficiency, IMF, and structural excellence.

Market Outlook – Strong Demand for 2026 Bulls

Enquiry for the 2026 sale team continues to strengthen, particularly for Verified, Visionary, and Vanquish sons. Market conditions continue to reward marbling, weight gain, docility, and feed efficiency — all hallmark traits of the Pavey Angus herd.
