Riga Angus, Mansfield, VIC

Over the last 40 plus years the belief that “profitability lies in the performance and efficiency of the cow herd” has remained integral to the operation. Riga Angus Stud is a family owned business run on “Nillahcootie Park” which is situated 10km North West of Mansfield on the Midland Hwy. The Stud is owned and operated by Vera and Ian Finger, their daughter Kate and son Tim.
