Big couple days here at Waipiri with the last 40 hectares of Maize coming in yielding 26 tonne DM per HA. A fantastic result in tough weather conditions the last 7 weeks.

A great job as always from Finch Contracting Ltd as well as the Millridge Ltd boys.

💥Waipiri Lambd Tonio VG86💥
(Lambda x EX Solomon x EX Destry)

She’s the gift that keeps on giving. Born on a crisp August evening in 2022 while checking the springers with Dennis Torrens on his last trip from Northern Ireland little Tonio just looked a star from day dot. Her first show was at Stratford in 2023 where she won Holstein and Interbreed Junior Yearling followed by Supreme Junior Champion. She carried this form into NZDE where again she won the Holstein Junior Yearling class before going on to win Holstein Reserve Junior Champion.

Fast forward to November 2024 and we traveled back to the Naki where Tonio stepped up again winning the Holstein Jnr Two Year Old class and Holstein Intermediate Champion. She then backed up the following day to win the Interbreed Jnr Two Year Old Class and gain Interbreed Reserve Intermediate Champion.

As we didn’t exhibit at NZDE this year her next event was the Semex On Farm and despite being in a class of 45 entries, she stepped up and delivered winning the Two Year old class in tough Summer Weather conditions. Just recently she was judged for the nationals and we’ll have those results in June.

A truly special young cow and a very bright future ahead of her we look forward to seeing unfold.

We’re extremely excited to be a part of the ‘Among The Stars’ raffle at NZDE. A wonderful showcase of all breeds to cater for everyone. With the raffle being drawn tonight there’s no better time to put a picture to the name - Waipiri Parfect Summer.

Sired by Parfect - a bull we’ve used heavily in our breeding programme the last 2 years Summer is a beautiful silky black heifer who just gets better and better every day. With one of the best pedigree lines at Waipiri in both the show ring and the milk vat with the likes of Cain Suri, Oman Soul and Talent Soul behind her she’s not one to miss! She’s ready to go in the show ring tomorrow should you be the lucky winner and select her. Should she not be selected and you are interested in purchasing her. Feel free to contact Andrew Reyland from PGG Wrightsons and arrangements can be made.

Should she be selected or purchased and you aren’t attending NZDE this year the always phenomenal Thomas Jeyes will prep her and show her on your behalf tomorrow. We can’t thank Tom and Fran Bennett enough for getting her down to the show, the Jeyes and Horn family for their time and care for Summer while she’s been in Feilding.

Also while we aren’t exhibiting at NZDE this year it’s great so see so many Waipiri Bred Animals entered and wish their owners the best of success and look forward to seeing some great results in the coming days.

Don’t forget 🐄
Come along to Waipiri Holsteins tomorrow evening for a potluck dinner, and have a look through the Hammond trophy team as well as a few other cows.
Bring a plate to share, cutlery and a plate and a chair if you have one!

With shows getting underway around the country we were thrilled to see some great results of Waipiri animals.

Waipiri CR Freaky Girl VG88 carried on her NZDE form winning the 4 Year Old Holstein and Interbreed class as well as Reserve Senior Holstein Champion and Honourable Mention Interbreed Senior Champion at Waikato Show. We couldn’t be more thrilled for Warren and Michelle on their early success with one of our favourite cows we’ve had on farm.

Waipiri Unix Suri placed 3rd in the 4 Year Old Holstein class and backed it up the following weekend winning the 4 Year Old Interbreed Class and Interbreed Honourable Mention Senior Champion at Te Aroha Show. Suri was part of a line of Cows Noah Dibble purchased in June 2023. Couldn’t be more pleased for Noah and the success they’re bringing him!

And lastly it was fantastic seeing one of Waipiri Windbrook Tonio’s Chief daughters gain Honourable Mention Jnr Champion down at Christchurch Show for the Sherriff Family. Tonio made the trip down to Sherraine in 2021 and it’s great to see those daughters following in her success and doing so well.

💥Waipiri Lambda Devine💥
(Lambda x Atwood x Shottle)

Another exciting young Lambda calf we have on offer on Friday from another family that’s been around Waipiri a long time. If Lambda doesn’t excite you enough she’s from a great young Atwood (now classified VG88) Straight off the Pen Col D family - of which Semex have a bull called Dropbox that looks to be doing the rounds in the AI market at the minute!

We’ve had some very successful young stock from this family over the years such as Waipiri Braxton Dewdrop - multiple class winner at Waikato Show and NZDE and Waipiri Uno Dewdrop pictured in the catalogue. You could have the next great heifer from this family. Just bid last on Lot 9!

💥Waipiri Lambd Gold💥

(Lambda x Thunderstorm x Planet)

She sells on Friday night in the Next Generation Futurity Sale at Claudelands. This special young calf descends from one of the oldest cow families we have - add in the fact she’s a Lambda. What’s not to like? The Golds are exceptional milkers with her dam averaging 3.2kgs this season. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a young calf so stylish and whoever bids last on Lot 19 is going to have a lot of fun and success at shows with this heifer.
