Tapiri Angus has been operated by Ross and Julie McLachlan and Rob and Lucy Thorneycroft.
Their inaugural bull sale was held on June 5 on farm at Rangitumau, Masterton. The sale was conducted in a brand new selling complex.
The offering was the result of 58 years of breeding from three family generations. A toast was held for Ross McLachlan who died two weeks before the sale.
Tapiri cattle are bred for soundness, constitution, longevity and fertility, influenced by East Coast genetics to perform in hill country conditions.
