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.
