NOTES: The most influential sire in NZ over the last decade. Consistency. Softness. Reliability. Dead quiet. Taimate Lazarus has been used across the majority of herds in NZ as well as a handful of eagle-eyed Australian studs. First used as a yearling bull over 25 young cows with 100% conception rate, Lazarus produced an incredible line of both sons and daughters. From 11 sons born, 9 went on to make the 2yo sale and sell for a whopping $27,833 average, when the NZ wide average was $7100. 4 sons sold to stud including the record breaking Taimate Laser that sold for $85,000. Lazarus breeds exceptionally well fleshed, great footed, dead quiet sons and daughters. Daughters with length and magnificent udders, sons with fantastic clean sheaths and strong bone. Taimate Lazarus is a genuine all round bull. Ideal for both heifer and cow matings. Top of the breed for calving ease. Lower birth weight without being too low. Successfully mated over thousands of yearling heifers both commercially and in stud in NZ and Aus. Adequate growth with fertility from an excellent, perfectly formed scrotal that doesn’t hang low. Perfect sheath. Massive eye muscle and marbling with fantastic fats that help provide softness to go along with his natural thickness. I personally believe Laz’s best asset is his ultra consistency. His sales success is testament to this, with bull sale catalogues in 2022 in NZ chock full of Laz sons up the very front end of all catalogues. Any number of sons have topped sales and sold to stud at top prices in the last 4 years, and the daughters are breeding magnificently too, with their progeny yet to be sold. At a recent stud dispersal sale in NZ, Taimate Lazarus daughters averaged 50% higher than the overall average.
