CRV offers a wide range of 20 dairy beef breeds to help you find the ideal option for your herd. From calving ease to exceptional growth rates, our bulls are carefully selected to deliver high-value calves for the beef industry.

Why choose CRV dairy beef?

• Calving ease: bulls are selected to reduce stress at calving.
• Good growth rates: produce calves that grow well and are highly sought after by the beef industry.
• Polled options: reduce the need for dehorning with naturally polled sires.
• Short gestation options: another tool to give you options at the tail end of mating.

Changus

The strength of the Changus breed lies in its unique
combination of traits: the Angus’ calving ease, shorter gestation,
and superior marbling, paired with the Charolais’ exceptional
growth and carcass yield.

Changus bulls are sired by Kakahu Milestone, a
proven Charolais bull excelling in the Beef + Lamb NZ Progeny
Test. Milestone ranks in the top 5% for calving ease and the top
1% for 400-day weight and gestation length, according to the
Charolais BREEDPLAN (December 2024).

Changus calves exhibit solid coat colours ranging from dark
grey to cream. While less uniform than purebred Charolais, their
distinct colouring makes them easy to identify, even among
crossbred herds.
