Our
property is approximately 110 acres of
mainly undulating ridge country.
that is primarily native pasture with a couple of paddocks
of improved pasture. The main water supply is two very large
dams that are also used for irrigation. The Barrington River
is also a source of water for irrigation for silage and
hay production. We lease land in the district so our herd is rotated between the two properties. We run, on average, 60 stud
animals and 80 commercial animals.
With demand for our beef growing, we also have a program in place where we sell weaned cattle to other farmers for them to grow out under Terry's guidance. We offer to buy back the cattle when they about 2½ years old and in great condition for our meat business. This is a win win for both parties - the farmers receive an income from having the cattle on their property and we are able to buy cattle we have bred for our beef business.

"Our
belties are bred and thrive on natural pastures and have
very quiet temperament. We continuously strive to improve
their beef characteristics and aim to breed hardy medium-sized
cattle with strong constitutions and good bone structure;
cattle that stand straight on good strong feet with strong
straight backlines. Our objective is to achieve longevity
in our bloodlines with bulls working well into their teen
years and females well into their late teens. We are
well on the way to achieving these objectives. DNA samples
of all our stud animals are kept on our farm." |
