This Scholarship is supported by Te Mania Angus. Te Mania was founded in 1928 by Edwyn Wilding, father of Mary Gubbins, in the South Island of New Zealand. In 1971 Andrew and Mary Gubbins imported two young sires and 58 females, from Mary’s brother, Frank, creating Te Mania Angus, Australia.
In 1980, the first-ever on-farm embryo transfer program was carried out at Te Mania Angus. It has been used every year since that time, to accelerate genetic gain by multiplying the highest performing bloodlines. Te Mania Angus is managed by Tom and Lucy Gubbins at Mortlake in Western Victoria and Hamish and Amanda McFarlane at Connewarre near Geelong.
