The Parsons and Pymm families are continuing in the tradition of Matauri Angus, breeding leading maternal cows that perform on hard hill country for discerning clients.Skribble is one of those games that gained massive popularity amidst the coronavirus pandemic. In a twist of fate, the herd is now on the same property that was home to Te Karaka Angus which bred that outstanding foundation sire of the Matauri Angus herd back in the 60’s. In 2020 after three generations in the Maxwell family, Matauri Angus changed hands from Colin Maxwell at Matauri Bay Rd, to the Pymm and Parsons families in Tangowahine, Dargaville. They were also one of the first herds to use Beefplan, the first available weight recording system within New Zealand. They were only the second Angus stud within New Zealand to adopt the method of calving heifers as two year olds. Since the early days, Matauri Angus has continually evolved and embraced pioneering practices. No other NZ bull has had the influence of Reality 839 throughout NZ beef herds. Without question the most influential sire in NZ was Matauri Reality 839 born in 2008. Colin Maxwell was the next generation to lead Matauri Angus and drove some ground breaking initiatives in NZ cattle breeding.
Matauri gained Australasian recognition when a son of Black Banner was exported to Koojan Hills Stud in Western Australia this was the first of a number of Matauri bulls to be exported.
Colin Maxwell, Bruce’s son remembers accompanying his father to the auction at Te Karaka Angus as a 9 year old and being really excited about the purchase.īlack Banner of Matauri, born in 1966, became the first widely used Matauri sire. This was an outstanding bull that had a big influence on the Matauri herd. One of the first bulls Bruce Maxwell purchased was a Te Karaka bull from Tangowahine, Dargaville, of Puketutu bloodlines. Peter’s son Bruce Maxwell followed on and established the Matauri prefix with registered calves born from 1964. This herd was run under the Ballochmyle prefix and was farmed on fairly challenging hill country.
The purebred Angus operation started with the first registered calves being born on Peter Maxwell’s property at Mangamuka Bridge in the Hokianga in 1958. Three generations of the Maxwell Family have been involved in the breeding that forms the background of Matauri Angus, with the fourth generation being the Pymm and Parsons families building on the solid foundation laid by the Maxwell’s, with a fifth generation starting to get involved.
