Hard Hill Country Genetics is owned by the Parsons and Pymm families and incorporates the Matauri Angus stud on their 600 ha Northland property. There are few studs in NZ that would breed and test stud animals on such steep hard hill country. The performance from these cattle genetics is well known not only in terms of hardiness, but also production backed up by their leading ebv's.
The Hard Hill Country Genetics ethos:
"We test the animals so clients don't have to"
