This week’s genetic reviews at Pavey Angus reveal exceptional consistency and depth across the growing V-Series female cohort. With multiple mating predictor reports now finalised, we are seeing a clear picture emerge:
the V-Series heifers are among the most balanced and high-potential females ever bred at Pavey Angus.

V-Series Heifers Showing Elite Early Profiles

Four females in particular—V2, V14, V20 and V29—continue to stand out for breeding value and long-term donor potential.

⭐ Key strengths across this group:

• Strong growth (200D–600D consistently above breed average to top 20%)

• Excellent fertility indicators, including short Days to Calving

• Balanced maternal traits with manageable mature cow weight

• Strong carcase merit, especially EMA, IMF and retail beef yield

• Solid structural indicators, including foot angle, claw shape, and leg structure

These young females are already benchmarking against heifers from much larger operations, demonstrating the effectiveness of Pavey Angus’ tightly focused breeding strategy.

Mating Predictor Outcomes Highlight Exceptional Progeny Potential

Several important combinations were analysed this week, and the results show clear genetic momentum.

1️⃣ V3 × V14 — High-Performing, Balanced-Profitability Progeny

The PAVEY VERIFIED V3 × PAVEY VIXEN V14 mating is shaping up as one of the most complete and versatile options available.

Expected strengths include:

• High-growth progeny with elite 200D–600D potential

• Very strong carcase merit (EMA, Carcase Weight, IMF)

• Excellent structural soundness

• Strong maternal indicators

This mating is ideal for producing sale bulls and potential donor-quality daughters.

2️⃣ R19 × V2 — Fertility, Structure and Maternal Strength

The cross PAVEY ROCKY R19 × PAVEY VORACIOUS V2 delivers:

• Excellent calving ease

• Short Days to Calving

• Very high docility

• Balanced growth and carcase indicators

This mating is extremely well suited to producing elite replacement females with long-term herd-building value.

3️⃣ V22 × V20 — Maximum Growth & Carcase Merit

The PAVEY VISUALIZE V22 × PAVEY VIKKI V20 mating is one of the most powerful combinations of the entire V-Series.

Expected progeny strengths:

• Elite growth (top 5–12% across 200D, 400D and 600D)

• Very high Carcase Weight and EMA

• Improved IMF compared with many domestic sires

• Structurally sound and highly profitable profiles

This mating will likely produce top-tier sale bulls and donor-level heifers.

S3 Remains the Benchmark Female

Across all evaluations, PAVEY MICHELLE S3 remains:

• The highest-ranking maternal cow in the herd

• The most influential female in terms of balanced EBVs

• The reference point for judging V-Series females

Can V2, V14, V20 or V29 catch her?

Not yet — but V2 and V20 appear to have the genetic foundation to challenge her position over time, especially once they accumulate progeny records.

Overall Herd Direction: A New Level of Consistency

This week's analysis underscores a major development:

Pavey Angus is now delivering consistent genetic excellence across both bulls and females, with depth growing faster than in previous years.

The first matings of the V-Series females in Autumn 2026 will mark a significant step forward for the herd and for future Pavey Angus sales.
