“Our goal when Maungahina was first established in 1907 was the same as it is today; To breed and sell quality genetics that stand the test of time, yield high returns and dominate in our clients breeding program”
Our Difference
Maungahina is a Hereford, and Speckle Park stud, farmed by Bruce McKenzie - fourth generation, Mark McKenzie - fifth generation and Molly McKenzie - sixth generation, of the founding McKenzie family.
It has always been the management policy to raise and sell the bulls under natural conditions, and owing to this policy, over the years Maungahina bulls have proved to be outstanding in stamina and constitution.
We use genetics to up fertility, muscling, size and outcross of the genetic base to improve our breed and introduce new bloodlines to New Zealand.
We want bulls that will perform extremely well in New Zealand and structural soundness is the key to our conditions.
ANNUAL YEARLING BULL SALE
FRIDAY, 18 SEPTEMBER 2026
You’re invited
On behalf of the McKenzie family at Maungahina, it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to our annual yearling sale.
It’s been a very proud year for us, being 80 years of on farm auction sales, and the stud is in good hands with Molly being the sixth generation to take the pressure off the old man!
Our Herefords are as good a line-up as we can put forward, with bulls suitable for heifer and cow mating, well-marked, dark with pigment and well grown. We spend a lot of time and effort gathering the correct data to have more accuracy in the EBV’s, so you know what you are getting.
In the Speckles we have decided to only retain 5 bulls for the two-year-old sale next year, so this line up of bulls is as good as we can put up, only selling 60% of the bulls in the calf drop. This sale has been in the making selecting bulls that are low birth weight, and mostly suitable for heifer mating, yet mature enough to handle cows. Take a close look at the Top Gun bulls as he is our proven low birth weight sire, with plenty of performance as well as being the highest bull we have ever bred for IMF at 8.1.
We are very grateful for your support and look forward to seeing you on the 18th of September.
Mark McKenzie
Greatness awaits you
