MILONG - Key Persons
Atahua Freedom has strong NZ bloodlines which we seek due to their great structure, soundness and longevity. He has produced very well at Milong Angus as he has great overall softness and very smooth shouldered which we find paramount for calving ease.
Bill Scott (son of A.W. Scott) who had a strong focus on establishing the stud purchased Elect of Westdrum in 1958 by the mighty Ballot of Belladrum, he was imported from Scotland. Along with many other early sires, Elect of Westdrum was crucial in the development of the line of females at Milong Angus.
Cricklewood Cracker was used for many years at Milong Angus with his NZ bloodlines being infused within the herd. He had great structure and capacity with the added key traits produced within his progeny, structure, softness and longevity.
Merchiston Steakhouse was introduced to our herd due to his softness and capacity of frame. He is a smaller framed, very compact, deep bull that has produced very true to type. We have retained many of his heifer progeny in our stud line to increase our smaller framed, earlier maturing line of cattle. He has produced a consistent cow line.

Raff Stockman G424 is an all-round great bull used at Milong Angus. He produced many fantastic females which we still have in the herd today. He was a very dense and large framed bull but had the greatest calving ease ability, it was amazing for such a large bull.
