Bull Breeding For Performance

Welcome to Rissington, a proud family owned and operated bull-breeding business. Breeding is a passion for our family and has been for four generations.

At Rissington we refuse to take the easy route or settle for the way things have always been done. Instead we continue to thoroughly test the bulls we produce and in turn strive to deliver the most profitable beef cattle for our commercial farmers. We know more about our cattle quicker and can multiply the best genetics much faster while benchmarking our cattle internationally. Today’s genetic predictions (EBV’s or EPD’s) & economic indexes like our $Profit® and semen/embryo sexing technology allow us to deliver more value than ever before.

Customised Breeding

Since 2010 in partnership with Animal Breeding Services at Te Awamutu we have been producing customised breeding bulls using advanced breeding technologies, TVR (trans-vaginal recovery), IVP (in vitro production) and Sexed Semen.

This is a first in New Zealand and an exciting development for us and our customers and partners. With over 70% of production costs being feed we understand the necessity to measure.
