Between the hills and the sea
Country that
shapes everything.
Longspur is the breeding base for our Angus cattle on the rugged hills of Banks Peninsula. Our approach is simple: understand the country, care for it properly, and breed cattle that belong here.

From breeding to finishing
Born on the hills.
Finished on the flats.
We run the whole cattle system ourselves. That gives us control from the breeding decisions made at Longspur through to the day each animal is finished.
WEANING · SELECTION
Growing
At weaning, the best heifers are retained as future breeding females. The remaining calves move into our finishing system and are managed for steady growth.
PRODUCTIVE FLATS
Finishing
Cattle are finished on productive flat country, including the reliable irrigated finishing base at Seabridge. Feed and performance are managed through to a consistent finished animal.
