Next up in the QMS World Tour podcast series, we hear from Tom Gubbins, director of Te Mania Angus. Te Mania Angus is an Angus seedstock breeding business, over 90 years in the making. There are currently 1,800 females in the herd, with bull sales held annually in Walgett, NSW and Mortlake, Victoria. Bulls are leased annually as part of the Team Te Mania Progeny Test Program, which now has over 45 herds across SA, Victoria and NSW. The Te Mania Angus philosophy is to breed sound, highly fertile cattle with calving ease, high growth rates and exceptional carcase quality to enable its clients to meet strict market specifications and optimise profitability. Data is central to the success of this business. Tom discusses how farmers must firstly identify what drives profit; the requirements of the target market and how the animal fits into the environment they are living in. From here, farmers can discover, collect and utilise the data to progress genetics of their beef cattle.
