Livestock - BEEFGEN

Global Livestock

We export cattle by sea and sheep/goat by air.

Livestock export business is well established since 2018. Every year we export more than tens of thousands of stock units to overseas. To meet the high standards required for live export, Whangara Global Livestock thoroughly inspects each animal in Pre-Export Isolation. To be approved for export, animals must be free from deformities in feet, joints or jaws, and have a good leg and shoulder structure, a healthy sheath and reproductive organs, as well as a good temperament and other traits.

WE MANAGE THE ENTIRE PROCESS

From sourcing animals til ship to the destination port. Our professional team handle the stock management and global logistics.

LEADING BREEDS TO MEET OVERSEAS DEMAND

HOLSTEIN

Holstein are New Zealand’s highest-production dairy animals. They have proved themselves adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions worldwide, and this trait has created an export market for our New Zealand Holstein Friesian genetics.

Angus is New Zealand’s largest and leading beef breed. Angus Cattle are extremely adaptable to the environmental changes, resilient and efficient

SIMMENTAL

Simmental is an extremely popular breed worldwide because of its adaptability, large-muscled frame, quick growth and high beef yields.

Hereford, the second-largest beef breed in New Zealand, is widely used for meat production in many countries. Hereford animals mature early and have high performance on forage-based diets. They adapt easily and thrive in a wide variety of conditions.
