What breed of cattle do you raise?Updated 2 months ago

We run a mix of breeds; our current intention is to breed a composite animal ideally suited to the environment we find ourselves in. These animals will be designed to;

  • Handle the subtropical conditions of south-east Queensland
  • Have a strong resistance to external parasites like ticks and buffalo flies
  • Have a moderate frame size more designed for grass-fed and finished operations
  • Be low maintenance with the ability to maintain good body condition, no matter the feed quality
  • Most importantly, produce good quality, tasty beef for our customers

The breeds we are currently running include; 

  • Nguni
  • Boran
  • Angus

And mixes of those with smaller percentages of Brahman and Droughtmaster, which are breeds that were part of the original herd and that we are moving away from.
