Episode 1 - Bruce Donald, Ngakouka Herefords
With the belief that ‘cows work for us, we don’t work for the cows’, Ngakouka Hereford's 200 registered stud cows are bred and raised under a hard, hill country environment in the Ponatahi Valley near Martinborough.
Guests include:
- Bruce Donald, Ngakouka Herefords
Hosts:
- Jo Scott, host of BEEF Country
Bruce & Chrissina Donald began Ngakouka Herefords in the late 90’s from buying cows from a mid-Canterbury Hereford stud based on Braxton genetics.
They select low input, worm resistant genetics for their stud to mirror their commercial farmers conditions where cows are grooming pastures for sheep.
Jo Scott hears Bruce’s advice to farmers of the damage to your herd holding onto a bull that’s not working for you. He also shares his tough culling policy on his cows and the learnings from importing genetics into their group progeny test.
