Riga Angus Stud Donors

"At Riga we believe the key to profitability lies in the performance and efficiency of our cow herd".

This means turning off maximum Kg’s of beef per hectare at minimal cost and having high ratio of weaning weight to cow weight. The average frame of the herd is 5.5 to 6 with an average working weight of 650 kg in spring with autumn calves.

The females we are currently flushing have been selected for their outcross genetics, days to calving, calving ease, structure, EMA, visual muscle score, carcass Wt and IMF% and temperament.
