Hinewaka Sires
We aim to use the best Shorthorn genetics available in our breeding programme. Sires are sourced from around the world that will enhance our breeding objectives and ensure we are producing the type of cattle that the beef industry is wanting. We also source top genetics from within NZ and over the years have purchased many National Champions , and hold the record price paid for a NZ shorthorn bull of $27,000 for ‘ Austins Lad’.
Our Current Sires
| Sprys Down Under S77 | 
Click to view larger photo
| Sprys Down Under was offered as lot 3 in the 2023
Sprys sale and considered the most complete
Shorthorn sire bred at Sprys in 59 years of breeding.
He sold for $70,000 after he was selected by John &
Nancy Bell, Sillwood, Tasmania. Possibly the best son
offered by the highly proven and elite Thermal Energy
15A, his donor dam, Sprys Buddy Lavender P41 is
simply outstanding. Physically, Down Under S77 is
sound and superbly balanced. He offers tremendous
pedigree depth with a data set that is elite for docility,
growth, ease of doing and added REA and carcase
weight. He adds docility and length to progeny and
as the old saying goes, “length weighs, weight pays”.
His daughters show tremendous promise as long, yet
balanced with excellent depth of flank, easier fleshed
and thick topped.
