Learn More about Membership
Our Services
Semayr
Semayr Breeding Services is a division of Ayrshire New Zealand, which offers top Ayrshire bulls, both proven and unproven, New Zealand and overseas to New Zealand farmers.
Registrations
At the end of October each year, Ayrshire New Zealand publishes the annual Herd Book, with details of all animals registered as pedigrees in the preceding 12-month period to August 31st.
TOP Classifications
TOP Classification recognises that progress towards the improvement of the Ayrshire breed should be obtained through animals superior in conformation as well as production.
Local Clubs
Ayrshire Clubs are local interest groups that hold meetings, herd visits, local competitions and social activities. Details of all new members are forwarded to the appropriate club and all members are encouraged to take part in Club activities. A full list of all Clubs and their Officers are printed in the Herd Book annually and is also available on each Club page below.
On Farm Challenge
Held annually, members of Ayrshire New Zealand have the chance to enter our On Farm Competition. Judges individually judge the animals in their home paddock. Results are then presented at the Annual Conference.
Ayrshire Young Breeders
Ayrshire New Zealand offers a wide range of opportunities for the youth of Ayrshire Breeding. We have a list of programmes developed to maximise the engagement of young people in our community, such as:
Young Breeders Seminar
A four day exihibition for all young breeders and any new breeders. Learn the ropes and what it takes to to run a succesful Ayrshire farm, packed with industry visits, herd visits, workshops, adventures and more
Join our community to receive all these benefits and more. Upon joining you will be sent a Member Information Booklet outlining all services, activities, Awards, and Competitions offered by the Association.
